Making an executable file or .EXE
« on: August 11, 2011, 05:47:15 pm »
Hi,
I'm sure this had been asked many times before, but as I am unable to find any answers:
How do I make my C++ code that I made in Code::Blocks, into a .EXE or executable file?

Please could you give a step by step guide for me to understand easily?

Thanks in advance,
hnefatl

Using a compiler -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler
And linker -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linker_%28computing%29

Please search the internet for a tutorial about command line compilation.
This will help you learn the basics and make it easier to understand what is happening, when using Code::Blocks.

Thanks, I expected to have just missed an important part of the Code::Blocks Tutorial.
Will get to work learning about linkers+compilers right away!  :D
