Yes, I've been figuring that this will suck. But I really need some kind of code for dumping itunes m4a tags to a plain text file Besides the gcc that came with the linux I'm using, I've got borland c++ and symantec c++ for windows.
I got them back when I was taking some classes in C programming.

There is a command line in the shell script similar to this for each source file during the compiling stage-

g++ -g -O2 -Wall -MT obj_files/AP_commons.o -MD -MP -MF
"./obj_files/AP_commons.Tpo" -c -o obj_files/AP_commons.o
AP_commons.cpp

Each of those compile commands gets the following error message, and then doesn't produce any output file-

g++: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations

When the link command is run later, there's nothing to link.
