compile-windows is a small tool that makes it easier to compile source code under Windows. Currently C, C++ and Java source is supported.
compile-windows creates an executable file from source code, either by using this tool in a DOS box or by embedding its functionality in the Windows "Send to" menu. The created file will have the same basename as the source file, e.g. the compiled form of compile-windows.cpp will be called compile-windows.exe.
For compiling C and C++ source you need to have the programs gcc (C) or g++ (C++) in your path, for compiling Java source you need javac in your path.
compile-windows is designed to work with any number of parameters, however the first one is required and should contain the filename of the file to compile. Any other parameter will be passed as an compiler option. Compiled programs will be created in the directory where the source resides. Attention: Previously existing files with the same name are overwritten.
If you want to use compile-windows from Windows Explorers Send to menu just create an shortcut to the program executable in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\SendTo.
compile-windows is released under the MIT license. See the file LICENSE included in the archive for details.
