Re: [Tinycc-devel] Compiling for Windows 32 Executable

[Mike]

EXEs and DLLs in MS Windows are PE files.  ELFs are on other operating 
systems, not MS Windows.  Except...: TCC's object files (*.o) are 
actually in ELF format.  But, when TCC finnalyy creates an EXE or DLL, 
it's in PE format.  TCC just uses ELF format as a temporary code storage 
format, for object files only.

If that's a regular mS WINDOWs command line, the (*) askterisk wont 
expand, I think.

If that's an MSYS command line, the command should work mostly.  I spot 
a mistake, though.  The -r switch makes the output be a object file, not 
EXE or DLL (hence making an ELF file).  Look at the documentation for 
the -r switch.  I'd take the -r switch out, then you're fine.
