Different method of compiling

[xylon97]

Hello, I have a C file which code blocks runs like this -

Code Select Expand


gcc.exe    -c file.c -o file.o
mingw32-g++.exe  -o file.exe file.o


I want it to to run it like I do at at command line.

gcc file.c -o file
file

Is this possible in code blocks?
Also, it is just a common file, not in a project.

Settings -> Compiler -> Your default compiler -> Toolchain executable -> Linker -> mingw32-gcc.exe

But if you intend to make c++ project your linking will fail.

p.s. next time search the forum, it has been answered many times.

@obfuscated, I have already set that.

What I basically want is only file.exe to be created when compiling, not file.o, and code blocks always creates a ".o" file as well.

Anyways, its just whim of mine, I can live with the ".o" files as well, just think they are useless.
Code blocks is a mighty good ide otherwise.

No, I don't think it would be possible without massive changes to the compiler plugin (but I'm not compiler plugin expert).

It is possible by defining a Tool command (actually compiler command) that uses macros - i.e. the currently open / active editor.

Look at the tools/tools+ plugin (docs).
