Q: 

CodeBlocks MinGW on XP noob. Is it possible to overwrite the same exe every time I compile? Further explanation inside...

I have looked through both the CodeBlocks and MinGW FAQ and wiki to no avail. As stated above I am a noob.

I want CodeBlocks to act like a Unix compiler in that it overwrites a single output file every time it compiles unless told to do otherwise.

In Unix: [cc example.c] -> [a.out], [cc example2.c] -> [a.out]. If I want to save the output file from being overwritten i just [cc -o newname example3.c] - [newname.out].

If this is possible with CodeBlocks/MinGW on XP I'd like to know how to do it. If not I would appreciate recommendations for another GUI compiler/IDE that could. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
