Answer 2

Just to elaborate on Martin Taylor's answer (which is very concise), regarding C/C++:
Don't forget LINKING. It's technically a separate process (post compilation), but it's passed when you compile. In my example I'm linking the SFML System lib. Just include:
-lsfml-system
or
-l<your-lib>
onto Martin's example. Also, Warn All should be passed now and then:
-Wall
as some code won't throw errors but warnings which should be addressed. Finally, if you're using a specific standard, always include your standard, eg:
-std=c++17
where c++17 may be c++11 or whatever. Usually its safe to leave the default, but if you're behind or ahead then don't forget this in relation to errors.
