Solve : Trying to create a .exe out of a source?

1.	Solve : Trying to create a .exe out of a source?
Answer» I really dont know much about programming so i'm asking for alot of help. I am trying to convert a SOURCE into a .exe file that anyone can install. The source is the nintendo 64 emulator 1964 version 1.1. Can anyone offer some help with this matter?Pardon me. If you don't know now to do it why would you want to? People who work with that kind of material have to have a knowledge of what they are doing. I is not the sort of ting that the average computer user would do. Instead, one would download an exe ready to go. One that someone else has already compiled, linked, debugged, tested and evaluated. Otherwise, novice offering a new untested program to others is no favor at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_%28emulator%29Quote from: revron on December 28, 2010, 06:12:58 PM I really dont know much about programming so i'm asking for alot of help.

Can anyone offer some help with this matter? if you are on a linux system, it's as simple as going into the project folder, and typing ./configure and then MAKE to compile it.

I am trying to add the new version of 1964 to a emulation website, but the way the uploader is set up is the real problem. It only allows .exe programs to be upoaded. I have a linux laptop if that would help me.Which new version? The official version is 1964 version 1.1 It is already on many sites as an EXE file, so we do not understand what you want to do. The creators of the program do not endorse any new changes, as far as we know about. Normally the program runs on Windows and is written in C.
