    Integrate my visual c++ project

    Hi guys,

    I just finished writing a project using VC++ 2005. How can I compile and build it into a executable programme?

    Thanks

    I can run it through vc++, I mean how can I compile the entire project into an executable programme, so that we can run it independently.

    Umm, go to the projects directory, and copy the executable?

    On Visual Studio 2008 it is My documents/Visual Studio/Project/*Project Name*/(Debug or release)

    By pressing F7 - what you RUN inside the Visual Studio environment is an executable. It normally lives in the debug or release (depending on whether you build, respectively, a debug or release version of your code) directroy in your project directory.

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

    F7. No really. F5 is run, and F7 is build.
