compiling c++ using gcc

[llewelly@198.dsl.xmission.com]

$info gcc

To learn about gcc.

$g++ -g -Wall -o foo foo.cc 

-g == enable debugging
-Wall == enable warnings ... which you SHOULD heed.

foo.cc == name of the file containing c++ code.

-o foo == name of the produced executable. If you don't pass gcc this
  option, it will name the executable a.out .
