via yaplet I've directed him to a very useful set of tools to begin learning. I hope this helps with his coding issues.

I obviously did the thing you told me to do ages ago or else I wouldn't recognize that there was a problem with how my compilers were working.

In fact, after I did what you told me to do, I ran a full search of all my harddrives for the thing that had supposedly been compiled.

It doesn't exist.

Maybe you could try specifying what you want the output file to be, from what I've read you should be able to do that using the /Fe switch, so it'd be something like this:

Code:

CL /FeC:\Path\plus\name\at\end file.cpp

Where file.cpp is a source file in the current directory, so you'd have to cd to it first. Or you could just leave off all flags entirely and just do a "cl file.cpp" and see what that gives you. According to what I read that should create a file.exe in the same directory as the source file.

You know, I've been taking a look at Borlan's Turbo C++, if all you're doing is messing around. It's free to get at this point, but from what I'm seeing, it's pretty nice. You'll need some sort of DOS access to use it (I recommend DOSBox) and any applications you make with it (it compiles for DOS), but it has its own compiler built right in.
