Unix Assignment

This assignment will demonstrate your ability to use an IDE under X. You may use any of the IDEs we have looked at (emacs, vim, Code::Blocks, or Eclipse) for this assignment.

1 The Assignment

Start an xterm session on one of the CS Linux servers.

Create a directory ~/UnixCourse/idesAsst

Copy the files from ~cs252/Assignments/idesAsst into your newly created directory.

The program you will be working with is a test driver for a list of names class. The underlying data structure is a linked list, so much of the code involves the manipulation of pointers.

If you are using Code::Blocks or Eclipse, create a C++ project named idesAsst in your ~/UnixCourse/idesAsst directory, with the .cpp and .h files that you previously copied included in your project.

Code::Blocks users, be careful. Its easy to create projects in the wrong directory. Your project file must be~/UnixCourse/idesAsst/idesAsst.cbp, not ~/UnixCourse/idesAsst/idesAsst/idesAsst.cbp

If you are using emacs or vim, open that editor to the makefile.

You must use that makefile to control your compilation.

Use your IDE to compile the program and repair any compilation errors.

Once you have achieved a successful compilation, exit the IDe and give the command (in your xterm)

~cs252/bin/idesAsst 

If you were successful, your access code will pop up in a separate window. If you were not, look in the xterm where you issued the command for an explanation.
