    Compile/linker/DevC++

    Hello,
    I'm a beginner. I have five files to compile and link,
    using DevC++. I'm told to compile these five files
    seperately; then link them all.

    Question? What are the parameters to use?

    Would the third check box in the envir. options,
    be the place for this?

    Thank you,

    Adock.

    If it follows the usual IDE conventions, then you've got a project setup which allows you to list the source files in the project (5 in this case)

    Then you should have 2 buttons somewhere,
    - compile - which compiles (but does not link) the current source file
    - build - which compiles all outstanding source files (those whose .c file is newer than the .o), and links them all together (with the run-time libraries) to produce a program
