The course makes available an "appliance" (basically, a pre-configured VM which includes all the required software and files), which I believe can be downloaded by anyone taking even the free on-line course. However, the concepts discussed, and the examples introduced are general enough that the post should be useful beyond the course specifics. In the post, we discuss some things that are specific to the context of the course exercises. However, if you wanted to let me know if and when I am passing bad information, please do! This article will (hopefully) be helpful to those who are just getting started compiling C programs, and/or using the GNU Make utility. If you are an experienced C developer, or if you have worked extensively with Make before, there is likely nothing new for you here.
While I am semi-capable using Linux, and the syntax of C is vary familiar, the mechanics of C compilation, linking, and makefiles are all new. The course uses Linux and C as two of the primary learning tools/environments. I am taking Harvard CS50 on-line, for free, in an attempt to push my knowledge and expand my understanding of this thing I love so much, programming. As pretentious as that sounds, it's not as bad as it seems.
I recently began taking a Harvard computer science course.
