hello everybody : i want to ask i recently downloaded a C++ source code , i just want to make program executable ( i mean make it binaries)like linux , is there any free program that do and make the setup file . please help. Thanks anyway .
Here's how to make a simple
.exe(application executable program) in Windows, copy this source to a file that will callmain.cpp// We will declare our header files as our first column
#include // Declare namespaces as the second column
using namespace std;// "int main()" serves as the starting point for our program
int main()
{
cout << "Hello user!" << endl;return 0;}
Compile this and go to your project's folder and double-click on a folder called
binand then double click on the folder calleddebug. If its not in there click on the other folder which is calledrelease, if you managed to accidently compiled a release version of your program. And there it is, your first made.exefile.:cool:Simple Greetings and Regards, Brandon Programming in C and C++ now, now developing applications, services and drivers (and maybe some kernel modules...psst kernel-mode drivers...psst).

Download Visual Studio express as replied earlier. In that you need to create a project. There are several types of projects in Visual Studio. Here is a simple tutorial - http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/tali/E15/Visual_C.html[^] You need to create a project, add the source files to it, compile it and fix the compiler type errors if any. After this process, you will have an executable. As for creating a setup program, you can use the free Wix Toolset. It will integrate with Visual Studio so that you can create the setup program from Visual Studio itself. You can download it from here - http://wixtoolset.org/[^] Here is an extensive tutorial on Wix - http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial[^]

In that download, were there any project-specific files (e.g., DSW, DSP, SLN)?

So is it a service then? If it's not any of those four, what type of Windows program are you trying to create?

well, thank you for interesting , any way if you have see the link ,and downloaded the source code , you may have better vision because i started programming in c++ from no more than one years ,and this is the first time that i want to do something like that,most of my program were no more than one or two C++ files and a header, this my programming background ,so i don't know how to explain more than that.. i really need help and advice to explain more..

Start by creating an empty Windows program (whether you opt for console or Win32 is up to you), then add to it those files you downloaded.
