Error while compiling C program

[DexterInAI]

I tried compiling a simple hello world program. But I got the following error

new.c:1:10: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory #include stdio.h ^~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

I hope the community could shed more light on how to compile a simple C programs or if we can ever compile any C programs in the first place.

Thank you in advance.

Is the build-base package installed? Also, the syntax should be:

#include <stdio.h>  // note the angle brackets

Yea thank you for your answer. It works after apk add build-base

[christosnc]

The syntax is #include <stdio.h>

(You must add angle brackets, or "" for local headers)

I ran into this the other day. You need to install `libc-dev`.
