Creating Executables ?

[n-josh]

i was wondering if, after you finish writing a program in codeblocks, you can create an executable version that can run independent of codeblocks ?
if it's possible, could someone please explain how ?
thanks ...

The executables are created by your compiler and are, in fact, already independent of the CB IDE.

To execute your GUI program, navigate to the program with your OS file explorer and double click on the executables' name.

If the executable is a console program, open a console, navigate to the home directory of the executable and type in the executables' name.

actually, i've created an sdl program with c, using codeblocks. the only executable i can find is in the "bin" folder of my project and it closes immediately when i open it...

Have you put the sdl dll files in the same folder as your executable or the windows path?

i have a copy of the sdl dll in c:\windows as well as in the same folder as the executable...

it still wont run without opening it in codeblocks and then compiling it
