I am very new to this but hope to learn a lot. I downloaded and installed Dev C++, and the program works nicely with the simple things I can write. However, I cannot find how to make a n EXE file with Dev C++, or any cpp compiler for that matter. I am not sure if this is possible, of if I'm just missing something. Compile seems to just run the program. Any light you can shed on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Compile also turns your source file (the one with the ".cpp" extension) into the executable (".exe").
Just look into the directory where you saved the source file, you'll see there is the executable too.
