I new to coding in Unix. I see in /usr/bin is cc...How do I get it to work system wide? I try changing to something I want to compile, like /icewm-1.0.4 and then typing cc and it tells me "no input files"..when I try -B or just plain cc to makefile or configure it tells me:
/usr/bin/ld: Makefile bad magic number (not a Mach-O file)
I'm lost..help!

You have to specify input files (i.e. cc -o test main.c will create a program "test" compiled from main.c).

If you're compiling something made by someone else, the most common procedure is:

./configure
make
make install

This is what I get if I try the ./configure...I get this:
"checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables".

Solved by:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/cc /usr/bin/gcc
