I think you might just be looking in the wrong folder though

#

i have looked in both source/repo directory and the directory i put in in and the exe is not in either one

#

Do you have the "hide known file extensions" option in your explorer on by any chance?

#

(stolen from StackOverflow)

#

possibly

#

#

Can't see the entire folder, try again

#

(or go up one level and screenshot that)

You using visual studio? Try compiling in release mode

#

If you change the mode to release there should be an exe in the release folder iirc. Been a while though but give it a shot

I dunno you probably can just use the same project

#

Whatever works for you it all should work fine

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

#

@orchid bluff

#

#

#

#

Can you send build output

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:41 AM

#

just the source

#

?

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

Like when you click start there should be some stuff down there when it’s building

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

Have you built your code yet?

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

yes

#

is there a way i could screen share

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

On the Build menu, click Build Solution

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

build succeeded no issues found

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:47 AM

#

Had you done that previously?

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:47 AM

#

yes

#

ive tried build, rebuild, clean

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

Is that the whole build output?

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

yes

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

Try going to the folder your cpp file is in, in terminal and type cl /EHsc hello.cpp

#

Replace hello.cpp with your cpp file name

#

That should build it into exe too

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 3:51 AM

#

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 3:53 AM

#

That’s all i got to try. Haven’t written c++ or used windows in quite a while

dry kelp Jan 30, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

Believe it should print the binary path in the build log

#

But haven't touched VS in years

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 4:32 AM

#

I thought that too

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

fixed it

orchid bluff Jan 30, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

What ended up being the issue

rose wraith Jan 30, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

my main.cpp wasnt under the source files folder
