				Hey guys, 
 
     A need has arisen for me to use .elf files. I know these are linux mainly, but i am on a windows computer. Is it possible for game editor to export/compile .elf files. If not (most probable) how can i compile c++ code into .elf files with another program. I really need help on this. Any mention on how to write .elf files would be helpful, though if i could use game editor it would be best, since i love game editor (even more than microsoft visual express c++ 2008).
Thanks,
Oman

				Thanks Makslane,
     do you know of any programs which export c/c++ to elf?
     And also, does the linux version of GE run on Yellow Dog Linux?

				Ok, Thanks so much makslane. I actually found that the windows version on GE exports linux files 

 , i don't know why i didn't think of that first, but thanks for the compiler recommendation.
edit/ mhhh..., does the Windows version of GE export .elf files or just linux files... say i need a linux program to recognize the name boot.elf, and that is the only name it will recognize, how do i get my GE linux executable program to be a .elf file and not just a .(nothing) file???? \edit

				The linux games exported by Game Editor are linux executables in the elf file format.

				Ok, thanks, however, when i expot my linux executables, it does not put the .elf on the end of the file, and when i rename my boot to boot.elf, the program i am using to load the .elf files does not work... any idea?

				The elf file format doesn't need an .elf extension.
I don't know what's happen with your program, sorry.

I think the issue with my program is that its doesn't exactly... um... meet qualifying standards. Its actually a console hack, lol

Oman

				Haha, I figured you were up to something... what system? ps2? I should try that... I have the ps2 slim, so it's hard to even trick the system w/ an exploit disc.

				Linux recognises executable files from its permissions rather than extensions on the file. With your version of linux there will be someway to make that file. Look up how to make a file executable in fedora linux, which is where your linux is derived from.
