Hey there. I am using Dev C++ for programming in C. I would like to compile my programs so that they will be "a.out" instead of "a.exe". How do I do this? I have tried compiling under Cygwin which is a UNIX port..It used to give me the "out" extension but now it just gives me the "exe" extension. Anyone know?

hurm..nope sure bout windows...if at linux..simply gcc -g blabla.c -o blabla.out

bleh..looks like i have to go back to linux to do my assignment..though i really wish that i can do it over windows..it worked before but for some strange reason, it doesn't anymore..

alright..i've found out that by default the compiler compiles to exe..and it uses gcc..

also noticed that -o beta beta.c will automatically result in beta.exe unless i specify an ending to it.

just go download a gcc command line compiler lo...i think ming gcc compiler can do it.
