Why Does Dev C++ Create An Exe File

Posted on by

Sep 02, 2016 well, you just need to compile your source code( using a compiler like code blocks, turbo c etc), and the output is 3 types of files 1. The source code file. The executable file(“.exe” file in windows and as a “a.out” file on linux). What is devcpp.exe? The.exe extension on a filename indicates an exe cutable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the devcpp.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application. Aug 17, 2010 The source code is stored in a text file and you can 'see' it as long as the file is in your computer. The.exe file is completely independent, in the way a blueprint is independent from the building it describes. When your IDE compiles the source files, it probably generates a.exe file somewhere. Look for it and try to run it by itself.

Why Does Dev C Create An Exe File For Windows

Whenever you compile through an IDE, it builds it for you. When you compile through a command prompt, by default we use compound commands to compile and build it or the commands from the compiler do it for us. I can't picture this being the problem. Usually, you may be able to make the seperate libraries (xxx.o files) but they may not be able to link together or the compiler may have errored out on a later file which I believe is the problem.
Netbeans if I remember uses GCC through the Cygwin port and is compatible with other compilers to an extent but not tested. It's IDE is complex and useful but it's not meant for small projects. It's meant for large and hard to control projects. Though it can be used for smaller projects, it's simply inconvenient.
Dev-C++ isn't an IDE you should start out on or should ever use. It's out of date which means bugs, glitches, features, and so on will never be fixed or added. Eventually the GCC compiler it works with may not hold up to the features of the current C++ standard, and as a result you would have to change anyways. You might as well develop a habit of using another IDE.

I have created a sample program on C.When i try to run on a different system (win 7 64 bit) it is asking for x64 version of the file (of the executable file created ).

P.S. - I am not talking about the compiler, but about the executable file created after compiling.
P.S.2 -I AM NOT MUCH GOOD IN ENGLISH PLEASE ASK AGAIN IF U R UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND.
P.S.3 - again the .exe file ...hehe lol ..

This depends on which compiler you are using.

If you use Visual Studio (presumably on a 32bit Windows), then you can install a 64bit cross-compiler (and the necessary auxiliary tools and libraries), as it says '>

I see people using Turbo C++ sometimes, but this might be my first spot of plain Turbo C in the wild :p

For the history buffs, the last version of Turbo C was released in 1989, and made 16 bit executables for DOS.

For those to whom that means nothing, …

If you use Visual Studio (presumably on a 32bit Windows), then you can install a 64bit cross-compiler (and the necessary auxiliary tools and libraries), as it says '>here. Of course, if you use a version of Visual Studio that is older than 2008, then you really should update it, because, as far as I'm concerned, any version prior to 2008 is completely unusable (too sub-standard, poor performing, and feature-deprived).

If you are using any other Windows compiler (Intel? IBM? Borland?), then you would have to check with those vendors what is possible.

Needless to say, if you are not working under Windows (e.g., you are working in Linux or Mac OSX), then this is impossible because these systems use completely different executable formats ('ELF' format, for all Unix-like systems), so, obviously that won't work in Windows. I don't know of any easy way to compile Windows executables from a non-Windows system (i.e., a Unix-like system), I suspect that setting this up is not for the faint of hearts.
