I don't use rhide, so I don't know how to accomplish this, but if you are using plain makefiles it is possible to specify a full path for output, like this: gcc -o c:/myprogs/hello.exe hello.c BTW, it seems strange that you have to "fish out" from bin directory. IIRC gcc puts executables in the current directory, so it seems that you are running gcc from bin directory. Do you put your source files in bin directory? This is not good practice in general, you'd better make specific directories for your c files and then run gcc from within the source directory. ciao Giacomo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Giacomo Degli Esposti e-mail: pad2369 AT iperbole DOT bologna DOT it via Ciamician, 4 giacomo DOT degliesposti AT optima DOT it 40127 BOLOGNA - Italy
