The lab workflow will be almost identical each time. Here's a walkthrough of a hypothetical lab assignment.
First, create and enter a subdirectory for the lab, using the mkdir command:
mkdir labX
cd labX
Create your Makefile.
Write your program and save it as labX.c. Be sure to include your name and
the project number in the top comment block, e.g.:
/*
* Project 0 by Hans Fugal
* CS 467 Summer II 2006
*/
Compile your program by typing make. If there are errors, fix them and try
again.
Run your program by typing ./labX. If it doesn't work properly, debug it,
recompile it, and try again.
When you're ready to submit, execute the following command:
~hfugal/submit labX
Check your email for the automatic reply.
Celebrate!
