To link the cs50
C library with GCC on Windows, you need to follow these steps:
- Download the
cs50
library from the official CS50 GitHub repository: https://github.com/cs50/libcs50 - Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a directory of your choice.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you extracted the
cs50
library. - Compile your C program with GCC and include the necessary library flags:
Replacegcc -o myprogram myprogram.c -L. -lcs50
myprogram
with the name of your C program file. - Run your program:bash
./myprogram
By including the -L. -lcs50
flags, you tell GCC to look for the cs50
library in the current directory (-L.
) and link it (-lcs50
) with your program.
Make sure you have GCC installed and added to your system's PATH environment variable. You can verify this by running gcc --version
in the command prompt.
Note: The cs50
library may have specific dependencies or additional setup requirements. Refer to the documentation provided with the library for any specific instructions or considerations.
