.exe? for linux #152

Closed JackDev-cc closed 2 years ago

JackDev-cc commented 2 years ago

Building agent on linux, selecting linux and the output is a .exe?

jm33-m0 commented 2 years ago

What's wrong with that? I mean you know how to rename the file right?

jm33-m0 commented 2 years ago

In case someone has the same question, I am adding an explanation. First of all, .exe or dot anything is just file name extension and don't mean a damn thing, they exist just to give people (or some programs) a hint of what type of file they represent. You can name a PE executable file as foo.exe or foo.bar, the PE format remains intact and can be parsed by any working PE parsers. Second, I use .exe because I included .exe in .gitignore to ignore binary file changes.

Windows teaches its users too well about file name extensions, now they think the names actually mean something, while in fact they don't.
