Hi,

I have been coding applications for some time but I can never use them on another computer without a compiler. I use the Code::Blocks IDE with the MingGW compiler. When I compile I press Build & Run. I am wondering how you compile executables for Windows.

I don't mind changing my compiler, or even my IDE but I would rather not use Microsoft Visual Studio if that's possible.

Also while I've posted this I wanted to ask: Whenever I compile Win32 applications it always displays the console runner. Is there any way to stop this happening?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Thanks very much for the answer Janotte, but...... I am afraid that is for Linux.

In the project settings, you can change it to GUI application.

And change the build target to "Release", build it, and then you *should* be able to just send the .EXE along to someone who doesn't have a compiler installed.

So you are running on Windows and want to compile for Windows?

Ah ha - I completely misunderstood your question.
