Same as with `gcc', you use the `-o' option to specify the name of the
executable.

g++ -o foo.exe foo.cc

This comes from an old Unix tradition of executable names defaulting to
`a.out'.  For DJGPP, a corresponding `.exe' is created, so the file can
actually be run.

It ought to link C++ correctly by default.  Your problem may be that
addressed in `gnu/gcc-2.81/problems.txt'.  Also see chapter 8 of the
FAQ.
