Automatically Compiling a File

[Mats]

I have the following code, which opens up a file in CodeBlocks, after having written the program with another program.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ofstream myfile ("file.cpp");
    myfile << "#include <iostream> \nint main() \n{ \n    std::cout << \"This is the new file\" << std::endl; \n    return 0; \n} ";
    myfile.close();
    system("cd C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/folder");
    system("file.cpp");
    return 0;
}

How can I then tell CodeBlocks (or MinGW) to compile this file?

Watch the command line that CB uses when it compiles your files:

mingw32-g++.exe -c C:\File.cpp -o C:\File.o
mingw32-g++.exe -o C:\File.exe C:\File.o

Thank you very much Ramses! :)
