    compiler output

    hey ive just compile a projected called cmdline, with had source1.cpp inside.

    my compiler created these files,

    BuildLog.htm
    cmdline.exe
    cmdline.pdb
    source1.obj
    vc70.idb
    vc70.pdb

    wat does they all do, and do i have to ship all the files for it to run on another computer???

    You just need the .exe, the rest are used by the compiler while compiling

    As was stated, only the .exe is needed. The files are, in order:

    HTML version of the compiler output (easier to read sometimes).

    Final linked executable.

    Program Database (debug information and symbols).

    Compiled object code for "source1.cpp".

    Dunno about the last two, I think they're used by the linker :shrug:
