Title: Linker problems?
Post by: Dan Barns on June 05, 2006, 07:47:37 am
I'm coding a program with 3 implementation files and a header and driver file. I want to run the program for testing purposes. I get no erros when I build and they compile fine into .o files. But Code::Blocks never creates an .exe file. How can I create the .exe file?

The only answers you can get liked this are about a hundred more questions. You haven't really told us anything to help you.

1) compiler
2) files
3) type of project
4) any relevant information

Are you compiling a static library, or a dll? That won't get you an .exe

I'm only new to C++. Sorry if I'm a bit ignorant. I have 1 .hpp and 4 .cpp's. The .cpp's compile into .o files, but won't compile into an .exe. I'm using the compiler that comes with the latest release of Code::Blocks (installed two days ago). I had Code::Blocks on another computer and it compiled into .exe files no problem. I'm only using this computer as the other is in the shop. As for the type of project, I'm trying my hand at writing a text-based RPG.

System:

Windows XP Home w/ SP2
AMD Athlon 64 3200

If you need any other info, let me know.

Hello,

If you are using C::B RC2, then give a try to a nightly build. Anyway, RC3 will come out shortly :).

And also I would suggest you to install MinGW separately from C::B (just an advice :)).

Best wishes,
Michael
