[tutorial] compiling source code into .exe file

[[Gandalf]]

trojan detected, biotch...

I tried a bunch of other ones, but they seem to not work with Turing .exe's...

well thanks for the compliment smart @$$
i didn't get a trojan so hahahahahhahha(evil laugh)
**thinks to him self** i am all mighty

Just joking... geeze... I thought you might have told me to get some random virus, and anyways - it informs everyone else to be wary in downloading it from where.

Too bad the other ones I got don't work with Turing executables .

The reason, to the best of my knowledge, is that the Turing "compiler" doesn't selectively pick and choose what parts of the Turing standard library to compile -- it just throws it all in. That's why you never need an import line or anything when you're using Net.Connect or Pic.ScreenLoad -- Net and Pic and every other module in the library simply gets compiled in regardless of whether you need it or not. So that's the reason why your "Hello World" one line program is like 300 Kb. It's because Turing can't tell that it doesn't need every single piece of the library.

srry dude i was in a bad mood and that was just the iceing on the cake
**so to speak**

I have tried doing this several times but it is not allowing me to open the exe file. It gives me this message :

Bad object file header in "filename".(2)

Do you guys no why it is doing this?

[Shyfire]

no clue

*did u use a compressor if so it could have been a crappy one if not the i dont know

[[Gandalf]]

Hmm, the error I get is:

Quote:

Unable to read object file "filename".(1)

Seems pretty similar... I dont know, the two compressors I tried are:

Mew 11 SE v1.2
upx125w

These two are pretty popular on the charts I looked at, and they worked on non-turing exe's...

that's why i prefer c++ but it's great that you can actually compile it.

for some reason after i compile it i tried to open it it says bad object file header in "Program's name.exe" (2)

Turing 4.1.1 doesn't compile. Download 4.1.

A 2 year necro, not bad!

4 year actually xD
