See the "Using Precompiled Headers" section in the documentation. > 3) Also how do I generate an exe instead of an .out file? I assume that by "an exe" you mean an executable file (the default name on Unix is "a.out", but you can call it anything you like; executable files generally have no extension on Unix). g++ will generate this by default. For example "g++ hello.cc" will generate the executable file "a.out". I assume that by "an .out file" you mean an object file (on Unix these usually have an extension of ".o"). g++ will generate that if you use the -c option. See the documentation. Ian
