Dev-cpp: Compiling Project into .exe

Started by
5 comments, last by orcfan32 18 years, 8 months ago
I was wondering, how do I compile a project file so that I have an executable? If I hit compile or rebuild, etc. It doesn't make a .exe file: it makes a .o file.
The best thing to do is just choose whatever you think you'd prefer, and go for it. -Promit

cant you just compile it?
and what do you mean?
Nope. It won't help any. I need to get it into an .exe file.

(I have to email it to you)

If you can run your program you must definatly have an exe someplace(you can't run a .o file). It might not be in your project's directory depending on your settings, check the Dev-C++ folder. If you have no run option then no exe was generated due to an error.
If you hit "compile and run" that definitely makes an executable. It may contain debugger information however.

-edit-
Whoops! Scet beat me to it!
Ok, I found it! It was disguised as a SDL icon...clever...
