I am new to cs50 I have the virtual appliance on my pc, when I try to enter the command make hello-2 in geedit I get an error undefined reference to 'GetString'. My code seems to be correct I think the problem is I don't think I have the cs50 Library? I have been able to download the two files needed cs50.c and cs50.h . I have no clue where to put them can some one please tell me in simple terms how do I get the library to work??? I don't know if this makes a difference but in my terminal it comes up as jharvard@ubuntu: where as any videos I have seen it is normally jharvard@appliance? Can some one please help??? I would be forever grateful

thanks.

  • jharvard@ubuntu is for the newer 2014 appliance and jharvard@appliance is for 19 and older, so you're good.

Did you follow the instructions in pset1 that said to run update50 first? pset1

There's an update that will fix your gedit built-in terminal to use the correct compiler commands.

Also, jharvard@ubuntu is perfectly fine.

  • I know the first update can take a while. I'm not sure how long it should take though. Usually it's only a few minutes but I've heard others say it's taken a few hours (??!)
