GNU compiler: how can i compiler using command lines?

[cambalinho]

i'm trying using the GNU compiler with command lines( using the ShellExecuteEx()).
when i do:

string FileName1="C:\\Program Files\\mingw-w64\\x86_64-7.2.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev1\\mingw64\\bin\\x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe";
    run(FileName1,"-c \"C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.cpp\"");

the object file is created.
these line creates the exe:

run(FileName1,"-o C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.exe C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.o");

(tested)
but the exe have some dependencies...
so seen the Code Blocks:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -g -std=c++14  -c C:\Users\Cambalinho\Documents\CB\testfolder\main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Lib\x86" -o bin\Debug\testfolder.exe obj\Debug\main.o  -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -fpermissive  "..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-7.2.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev1\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\libgdi32.a"
Output file is bin\Debug\testfolder.exe with size 2.92 MB
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minute(s), 8 second(s))
0 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 8 second(s))

the "-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc" adds the exe dependencies.... but i can't add it correctly.. the exe isn't created :(
can anyone advice me?

[cambalinho]

void run(string FileName, string Parameters="")
{
    SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo;
    ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
    ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
    ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
    ShExecInfo.lpVerb = "open";
    ShExecInfo.lpFile = FileName.c_str();
    ShExecInfo.lpParameters = Parameters.c_str();
    ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
    ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
    ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;

    ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);

    if(ShExecInfo.hProcess)
    CloseHandle(ShExecInfo.hProcess);
}

[cambalinho]

after several tries i found the problem: when we use some API functions, we must add the libraries too, or we have errors without notice.

string FileName1="C:\\Program Files\\mingw-w64\\x86_64-7.2.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev1\\mingw64\\bin\\x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe";
    run(FileName1,"-Wall -g -std=c++14  -c \"C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.cpp\" -o \"C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.o\"");
    run(FileName1,"-o C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.exe C:\\Users\\Cambalinho\\Documents\\CB\\testfolder\\bin\\Debug\\test2.o -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -fpermissive \"C:\\Program Files\\mingw-w64\\x86_64-7.2.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev1\\mingw64\\x86_64-w64-mingw32\\lib\\libgdi32.a\"");

now i can create an exe that executes without dll's dependencies.
thank so much for all

[cambalinho]

and now the cpp file:

#include "Untitled1.h"
void Main (vector < string > argumentlist , boolean IsOpened ) 
{
    integer a =  20;

    a = a + 30 ;
    write ( a ) ;
    write ( "hello world" ) ;
}

the Code Blocks can compile it.
but if i use Command Prompth\CMD, i will get an object file and these errors:

i don't understand why these errors... can anyone advice me?

[rproffitt]

I'm ignoring the code dumps. I'll share how I research how to command line compile using a Google search.

1. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-ab&q=compiling+from+the+command+line+%22Code+Blocks%22
2. That's pretty close. I think this link is the one you want: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=11897.0

It appears this and other issues pop up when you try to move to the command line. (In ref to %Program Files or such.)

[cambalinho]

hey i know the command line.
i can create the exe with standard code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   std::cout << "hello world\n";
   std::cin.get();
   return 0;
}

yes.. i have tested and the exe is created..
but if i use my own header file, i get that several errors.
but if i compile the same code, using the Code Blocks, the exe is created...i don't know if Code Blocks is using more commands that show on 'Build Log' view.

[rproffitt]

"if I use my own..."

This means you either shouldn't do that or dive into how yours differs from the working version.

[cambalinho]

i never thot that.. on Command Prompt(CMD.exe) the errors was showed...
i nevert thot that i was doing 1 error between uppercases :(

yes i get more help to find the real problem.
anotherthing: these string is saved on File:

"write(\"hello world\n\")",

the '\n' will give us a new line on file... for resolve the problem we must add the double slash:

"write(\"hello world\\n\")",

thank you so much for all
