Title: Is it possible to get a '.exe'
Post by: Nick Nuclear on April 10, 2014, 10:59:06 pm

I haven't been using Code::Blocks for too long, but I had to switch due to the fact that the previous compiler I used is not compatible with WIN 8.

When using Bloodshed Dev C++, when I ran a program, it always created a '.exe' that I could run without having to open the '.cpp' file first..  

My question is, Is it possible to get a '.exe' using Code::Blocks, or do I always need to open the '.cpp' file to run the program?

You question is not clear, please try to explain better.

How can you make an executable without source code (cpp file)?

I'll try to explain better.

When I used Dev C++, after I wrote and ran a program, an executable would be created in the folder/Location of the c++ file.  I was able to open the executable and run the program, without re-opening the c++ file in Dev C++.

When I write a program in Code::Blocks, I need to re-open the c++ file in Code::Blocks every time I want to run it.

I want to know if it is possible to get Code::Blocks to create an executable, so that I can run my programs without having to re-open the c++ file in Code::Blocks.

The program is created in the bin sub folder of your project...

Oh, I see.

Thank you so much.
