Dev C++ Compiler Issue

[aeronet]

Has anyone ever had an issue with Dev-C++ v 4.9.9.2 not producing a physical executable file after compiling? For some reason it's only creating all of the .O files and then another file i don't recognize. Under the properties of that file the type is "2 File" and it's the approximate size the executable should be. What's going on and how do i fix it? I'm running XP btw

I have used that version of Dev-CPP and I have never encountered that. The problem is probably buried in the settings somewhere.

I suggest that you uninstall Dev-C++ and then delete the entire directory. After that, restart your computer and reinstall Dev-C++.

I tried that and it didn't work. Dev has created .exe files in the past so i'm not sure why all of the sudden it's not. Now if i understand correctly, the exe file is created during linking not compiling. Is it possible that although i get no linker errors, there's something wrong with the way things are linked or which files are linked? For example, I have a .h file that is part of the project but is never included in any of the other files because it's purely references and notes for myself regarding the project. Could that be causing issues?
