Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2737156 By: akovalev Hi, I noticed that mingw gcc adds .exe extension for output binary, for instance, compilation of "hello-world" source in following way: gcc hello.c -o hello producing hello.exe. So question - why gcc appends "exe"? For instance this breaks makefile for flex - it can't install flex and create link to flex++ since under mingw one get flex.exe instead of flex. P.S. I've tried to copy hello.exe to "myapp" (without "exe" extension) and run it - it works fine... Thus there's no need in windows executable extension for running executables. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
