If using Qbasic 45, or PDS 71,then just click:
Run->Make EXE file

Make sure it's set to: Stand-Alone EXE

Click: Make EXE

The EXE file will be located in your current DOS path, that is: the same as QB, unless you've changed it.

you're not using a file called "make.exe" are you?

there's a RUN menu from within the IDE, and one of the options
in that menu is "MAKE EXE"

When it says enter spech:
Just type in the path to your QB folder, for example:
d:\qbasic71\

Which is where my BCL7OEFR.LIB is located.

You could also go to: Options->Set Paths
And make sure thoose are set correctly, though, it doesent work for me, i still have to specify d:\qbasic71\ each time..

Remeber to include the last \, or you'll have to type out the libname: BCL7OEFR.LIB... which is a bit annoying, as you only need to type the path.

To type a backslash \, in the QB IDE, hold ALT GR, and press 92, let go of ALT GR..

whoa there.... save yourself a world of trouble and use qbasic 4.5, in my opinion many times easier and all round good than 7.1

DigiShad, it's the same you know...

QB45, QB71, doesent matter...

I use 71, never had any problems with it... I used 45 before.. but stopped simply because it can't handle as much data and code as 71.

no kidding, I had trouble with it, but mabee I'll try it out again, then I can manage to avoid that "out of memory" error in my 3D stuff....

Or you could try to compile from the commandline, saves LOADS of memory.. the QB IDE is a memory hog... really...

I should, that was without compiling tho. I'll end up compiling from the prompt to run my progs if I need that, but I can support arround 40000 vertecies before it oopses
