My Program wont run on another machine

piczim (63)
I have written and tested my code and its running on my machine

I then save it as an executable file gcc -std=c11 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic-errors -O3 -static-libgcc -ocalc.exe calc.c

Copy it to my flash stick and try and run it on another machine and it wont work.

Any advice will be appreciated.

define "another machine" because looking at the first line of code i already know it wont run on "my machine" as i am in linux. Stats on both machines, like are both 64 bit? are both windows 7?

Hi

My machine has windows 7 64 Bit operating system. My other machine has windows 7 32 bit operating system.

What I am trying to learn is that if I was to save it to a flash stick how would I be able to run it on any windows machine. I know nothing about Linux and I believe MACs are a different thing all together.

I hope I have answered the question

i am assuming you are compiling the under the 64 bit OS?

i am not sure, as i havent tested this, and i dont have both 64 bit win7 and 32 bit win7 currently available to test it on. But my assumption would be that a compiled 32 bit app would work on both 32 and 64 bit, while a compiled 64 bit app would not work on a 32 bit operating system. My first guess would be compile that program on the 32 bit OS, then if all is well, that it proves this to be true. That is why there is x86 apps and x86_64 apps.
