"man gcc" or "info gcc" will tell you: gcc -o test test.c does what you are asking. BUT DON'T DO THAT!!! Don't create executables called "test" or "test.exe". Unix (and thus Cygwin) has its own version of "test", and you will have trouble getting the right "test" invoked. Choose some other name instead: gcc -o myprog test.c or gcc -o a test.c Regards, David -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
