i just want to be able to let my friends try out my programs from the internet. i have a really basic website to work with (my real website is down).
help me?
You can't run a C++ program from a website like you can with flash or Java. Just put the files in a zip file and upload it to your website. Put a link to the file so people can download and run it.
If you're taking about a standalone app, there's no way to actually embed it in a web page. Or are you're talking about an ActiveX control or a plugin? Or hosting your app in one.
In addition to the zip file, you could provide a user manual? Or you could add a demo mode to your app, so it runs itself when provided with the right command line arg or input?
