exe extension on Ubuntu

[ordak]

Hi,

I want all my C projects to automatically have .exe extension rather than without any extension. I am using Ubuntu OS with Clang as compiler. What can I do?

Use windows !

Can i ask why? And can i ask what do you expect to get from this?

A history of Microsoft DOS then Windows user. I want to recognize a file type by it's extension. I wanted to get a project_name.exe file. By the way Clang, according to it's documentation has the following command lines:

Code

-o<file>, --output <arg>, --output=<arg>

Write output to <file>

[BlueHazzard]

Project->Properties->Build target select the right target on the left->Output filename

i am not 100% convinced that this is working... I think codeblocks does the naming something automatically, but i can not tell for sure...

You have to disable "Auto generate filename extension" option in the Project -> Properties dialog.

You have to disable "Auto generate filename extension" option in the Project -> Properties dialog.

I disabled it and changed "output filename" adding exe extension. But the compiled console application is still without extension.

I tested it here on Fedora with latest nightly and it works as expected.

Code

-------------- Build: Debug in test (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

g++ -Wall -fexceptions -g  -I/tmp/test -c /tmp/test/main.cpp -o obj/Debug/main.o
g++  -o bin/Debug/test.exe obj/Debug/main.o   
Output file is bin/Debug/test.exe with size 27,85 KB
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))
0 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))
 

-------------- Run: Debug in test (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

Checking for existence: /tmp/test/bin/Debug/test.exe
Executing: gnome-terminal --hide-menubar -t test -x /usr/bin/cb_console_runner LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. /tmp/test/bin/Debug/test.exe  (in /tmp/test/.)
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))

Did you change it for all targets and if not, did you test it on the correct target ?

Can you copy the "Build log"when doing a full  rebuild and paset it here, at least the relevant part (linking of the executable) ?
You should see the full filename in the linker command in the logs.

And to avoid any misunderstandings: you use a "real" Code::Blocks project, not a Makefile-based project ?

I used it on one target.

I used a User template.

-o bin/Release/THW4

You haven't changed the right one, looks like...

-o bin/Release/THW4

In Project/properties/Build targets I added "Copy of release" and made the changes.  Later I re-ordered it to the top. It did not became default as I expected. Now making the changes to "Release" build target does the job.

There's no "default" target, you always select the target in a DropDownList on the toolbar above.

Good to see it's working now.
