Executable UNIX cc

Question

When I compile a file .cusing a command cc, it creates an executable file a.out. I noticed that it creates a file a.outinside my current directory. Is there a way to create a file a.outin the same directory as the file .c, wherever I am on the system?

for example, if my current path ~/desktopand I type the command:

cc path/to/my/file/example.c

It creates a file a.outin a directory ~/desktop. I would like it to create a file a.outinpath/to/my/file/a.out

Answer 1

You will need to use the -o switch each time you call cc:

cc -o path/to/my/file/a.out path/to/my/file/example.c

or you can do a wrapper script like this:

mycc

#!/bin/bash

dirname=`dirname "$1"`
#enquoted both input and output filenames to make it work with files that include spaces in their names.
cmd="cc -o \"$dirname/a.out\" \"$1\""

eval $cmd

./mycc path/to/my/file/example.c

, ,

cc -o "path/to/my/file/a.out" path/to/my/file/example.c

, mycc $PATH, :

mycc path/to/my/file/example.c
