[Mingw-users] Can't get an exe file from a cpp file using g++!

[Stefan V. <ry...@in...>]

Hi Jerry

I would suggest downloading the complete MingW package (not just g++!) and 
getting an IDE (such as DevC++). Compiling by hand (as you seem to want to 
do) I find difficult and tiresome - it is much better to use and IDE and have 
it build the makefiles for you. Or, if you get MSYS, you can use Linux style 
autotools to build makefiles, and have your commandlines to compile your code 
automatically built for you by tools.

Doing it by hand is also hard when you start doing larger projects with many 
source files, and you have to handle dependencies manually.

Regards,
