Make Files...

[Bjackso]

Okay well. I'm begining to experiment with the ruby programming language. Interesting though, the mySQL library needs to be made(bunch of files all packed into mysql.o), is there any way to replicate this in windows? Or do I need to grab the file from elsewhere?

And finally, why does an include file need to be 'made' in the first place? Shouldn't a pre-compiled version be the same for all distributions considering this is not a binary?

(hoping somone understands him)

Whoa! Haha. I just got done with intro to programming. C++. Looking at your title, I was going to give you some tips on fstream. After I read though, I THINK you're a little beyond that. Good luck!

You could try, in DOS, typing type null>filename

I'm not sure if that's going to work..I haven't had much sleep, but it's worth a shot.

Well the whole ordeal is kinda a mess. the mysql.c can be compiled in a standard C compiler I assume, but it points to include files that points to other include files that point to still more include files... so this could get interesting. And this assumes the final product isn't another file that points to still more include files ;p

I'm still a bit lost on 'compiling' this as it shouldn't be making a binary. Just an include file.

I don't know C, so I won't be too much help. I'm the resident AS/400 guy.
