It looks like you may have code formatting errors in your message

Note: Make sure to use back-ticks (`) and not quotes (')
Note: Make sure to specify a highlighting language, e.g. `cpp`, after the back-ticks

Markup

```cpp
int main() {}
```

Result
int main() {}

🙂

#

this is a homework assigned by my teacher

#

desperately need help~

keen wraith
#

Don't include bits/stdc++, that's for internal use by the compiler

#

Wdym by windows application? To make it compile and run on Windows?

ivory thistle
#

to change it into a windows app

keen wraith
#

What does that mean? A GUI?

ivory thistle
#

like change it into a runnable app for every windows users

keen wraith
#

Looks like it already can technically

#

You just need to compile it

ivory thistle
#

it can't be compiled for those who don't have a c++ compiler

keen wraith
#

Obviously

#

You can compile it and give other people the executable

ivory thistle
#

So I want it to convert to an application, so that all windows users can run

ivory thistle
keen wraith
#

When you compile code it makes an executable that you run

ivory thistle
#

oh

keen wraith
#

And that runs your program

ivory thistle
#

how about mac users?

keen wraith
#

You can't run a Windows program on a Mac and vice versa

ivory thistle
#

I know

#

so how can I convert the exe to something that mac can use

keen wraith
#

You need to compile the code with a compiler capable of producing an executable Mac can run

#

So Clang most likely

#

Are you on Windows?

ivory thistle
#

I am on windows

ivory thistle
subtle gateBOT
#

@ivory thistle Please do not send executable files

ivory thistle
#

.

#

which is the executable for this

#

but when I double click it

keen wraith
#

Idk if you can compile an executable for Mac from Windows tbh, it sounds like it'd be annoying to do

ivory thistle
#

it shows a terminal and closed it instantly

keen wraith
#

It closed cause the program finished

ivory thistle
#

I didn't even see the output

#

ha

keen wraith
#

You can pause at the end or run in a command prompt so you can still see the output after it finishes

#

Are you using Visual Studio?

ivory thistle
#

dev c++

#

I do have visual studip

#

vs code

keen wraith
ivory thistle
#

ye

#

this line?

quaint solar
ivory thistle
#

system(“pause”)

ivory thistle
#

:/

quaint solar
#

You sure you didn't misunderstand him?

ivory thistle
#

it like an additional mark

#

it optional

#

and I wanna do it

quaint solar
#

Maybe he just wants the .cpp file? A mac executable sounds weird

#

There's a tool called Wine that can run Windows programs on other OSes, including on Mac. If they use it, they'll be able to run it as is

ivory thistle
#

he says it just a fun challenge, and he will give us an additional mark if we can give him a sort of application that works on his computer

quaint solar
#

Ah lol

#

Then asking us is kinda cheating, isn't it? 😛

ivory thistle
ivory thistle
quaint solar
#

No, it doesn't produce a new executable. It runs the existing one

#

That's how folks on linux play windows games, for example

#

Look up cross-compilation. This means compiling for a different OS compared to the one you're using

#

There are tools to cross-compile to mac

ivory thistle
#

Alright

ivory thistle
midnight mauve
#

it block sending exe files?

fickle lotus
ivory thistle
#

didn't he say it a tool to compile?

subtle gateBOT
#

@midnight mauve Please do not send executable files

fickle lotus
ivory thistle
midnight mauve
#

no its not...

#

just compile on mac

fickle lotus
#

or use zig c++

ivory thistle
#

what is zig c++

fickle lotus
ivory thistle
#

So I have to learn a whole new language??

quaint solar
# ivory thistle this?

No, as I said. Wine runs windows executables on mac, it doesn't create the actual mac executables. That's likely not what they want.
There are tools to produce mac executables without having a mac, this process is called cross-compilation

midnight mauve
#

zig xD

fickle lotus
#

i meant zig c++, not zig

ivory thistle
#

ohhhh

fickle lotus
#

zig c++ <your_file>.cpp -target x86_64-macos

ivory thistle
fickle lotus
#

or i think it's aarch64-macos-gnu instead

ivory thistle
#

I am confused for that command xd

fickle lotus
#

either of them

ivory thistle
#

where do I enter that

#

Maybe I will try it tmrw, I have class on Thursday, hopefully I can do it

#

btw, 5 more message then this chat would reach 100

fickle lotus
#

you'll also need MacOS SDK

quaint solar
#

Meh

#

Cross-compilation can be interesting, but copying commands we give you without understanding, just to get marks? I dunno

ivory thistle
#

where do i even enter those command

ivory thistle
quaint solar
#

See? notlikethis

fickle lotus
ivory thistle
#

did research on the freopen

quaint solar
#

That's something else entirely

ivory thistle
#

now i just need to make it an app

ivory thistle
#

couldn't find anything useful

quaint solar
#

Because you didn't know how the process is called ("cross-compilation")

#

Try googling cross-compile c++ from windows to mac

ivory thistle
#

I will close this for now I guess

quaint solar
ivory thistle
#

okay

#

thanks a lot
