    try and write a simple code like helloworld:

    #include <iostream>

    int main()

    {

    cout<<"HelloWorld";

    return 0

    }

    and keep messing around with your compiler. if you would like, start readin some c++ tutorial it might help you out of what you looking for.

    Static Link Libraries or Dynamic Link Libraries (.lib or .dll)

    A Static Link Library is even easier than making an executable because there is not even a link phase. Just go to file, new project, static library, and then put whatever you want in there.

    #include the same headers and add the library in Project Options (Add Library or Object). You'll select the .a file (.lib is just a different extension).
