I need to encrypt a C program! is it possible to compile the program if the code is encrypted?How?

If it is not possible, pls tell me a way to hide the user from seeing the source code of a program on LINUX!

If you are using the GPL or similar license you may not do so... it's a requirement of the license that you distribute the source code.





If you are selling a proprietary licensed product then sell the compiled version. You can't expect people to compile your source code unless you sell them your source code. There is no way to encrypt the source code and expect the compiler to read it unless you sell a compiler with decrypting built in... then you've got to sell them the code for the compiler so they can compile it themselves... so you may as well give them the decrypted source as they could modify your compiler...





Sell the compiled code... if someone wants it on a new platform, you have to create them a compiled version.
