Answer from AI
To build programs from source code using bash scripts, a sequence of compilation and linking commands is usually executed. For example, for a C program, you can write a script that compiles the source files and assembles the executable:
#!/bin/bash
# Compile source files
gcc -c main.c utils.c
# Link object files into an executable
ngcc main.o utils.o -o my_program
# Run the program
./my_program
Such a script can be extended by adding error checks, cleaning temporary files, compilation parameters, etc. This allows automating the build process without using complex build systems.
