Output path

[marovada]

I'm trying to set gpc.exe output path using the -O switch.  For example:

gpc.exe -O"/documents/"

But it's giving the output files weird names ie g.cpp instead of outg.cpp.  There's also no out.reqire file generated.  When the source files are compiled into a binary the binary program displays for a second and then exits abruptly.

The GLBasic manual says this in relation to the -O switch:

-O"Output prefix (with path)"

What does 'prefix' mean?  Am I using it wrong?

Yes. Put a string. "gpc" or "dummy", not a path.

Yes. Put a string. "gpc" or "dummy", not a path.

Thanks Gernot.  I'd like to put a prefix and a path.  Is that possible?
