code::blocks and .exe

[oulyt]

i think this is the right place to ask o.0

well i wrote up some code and you know how when you compile codeblocks would automaticly create a .exe file. for some reason for this program i wrote up it wont create one =/ anybody know why it wont make one or how to make it?

Are you building to an executable target? Go into the project preferences and check the target type.

i checked the properties and its set to create a .exe its checked. the target type is set to consol app. it works when i build/run from the compiler.

Search all the projects directories for an exe file. It's possible you're compiling as release or debug without realizing it and your file is going somewhere you don't expect.

i found one. it went into my bin\debug\  usually though it just goes into the folder with all the main.cpp. first time its done this.

Code::Blocks pojects have defualt build directories called "Debug" and "Release". Just above the code editor, you can see which target you are building to, and the executable will be in the bin\ whichever build target.
