From: panic@diku.dk (Arne Glenstrup) Subject: gcc produces foo.exe, not foo 23 Sep 1998 03:20:49 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hello, Apologies if this question has been answered many times before, but I didn't seem to be able to find it in the mailing list archives via the search function. The problem is that it seems that when running gcc -o foo foo.c it produces not a file named foo, but a file named foo.exe. This has caused me problems when writing a Makefile somewhat like bar: foo.c gcc -o foo foo.c mv foo bar because it complains when trying to mv file foo. What is the standard way of circumventing this problem? Simply writing mv foo.exe bar.exe is not a full solution, because that is not portable. Is it necessary to write some autoconf stuff to check what the extension of the executable resulting from calling gcc is? Thanx, -- Arne. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
