[Dev-C++] Problem compiling - file not found!

[<neo...@fu...>]

Whenever I attempt to compile a .cpp, even a single, self-contained .cpp file, I get this in the compiler log:

Compiler: Default compiler
Executing  g++.exe...
g++.exe "foo.cpp" -o "foo.exe"     
Execution terminated


I'm on Windows XP, though I've recently. How can I fix this? Am I doing something wrong? I've used other compilers before without issue on other machines... but I'm looking for one to work on for personal projects.

More information is necessary.  The only thing I can see looking at the gcc manpage is that "foo.cpp" should follow the -o "foo.exe". , As in  [-o outfile] infile... See the gcc (1) man page.

What's it doing executing?  I don't understand that.

Want to know a big secret?  GCC is really one of the better C/C++
compilers around.  My dad, whose a defense contractor for the US DoD,
when they have something that they either can't get to run fast enough
on their expensive Microsoft and Borland compilers, use the G++, and
usually get far better performance and reliability.  G++ is really
nice in that it's free, the best there is, and is so scalable that
it'll work like a charm for everything from helloworld.c to
missle_defense_algorithm.cpp and everything in between.

As for your error, to me it sounds like you made files but no project.
 DevC++ is odd in this manner.  When you create a project, it keeps a
list of all the files it needs to send during compile.  If you're not
developing with a project, you need to make one and add the files to
it.  However, you were really vauge, so I could very easily be miles
from the truth of your problem.  Good luck though!

Have you checked for foo.exe in the same directory as foo.cpp?
Have you tried hitting the execute button (the one that looks like a 
console window right next to the compile button)?

As long as you don't see any error messages then the compilation went 
fine. The line "execution terminated" is simply telling you that the 
compiler is done and either you have some errors to fix or you code is 
ready to run.
