Please explain by what you mean by flat - binaries do not have a shape – Adrian Cornish Aug 30 '12 at 01:41

Define your terms. What is the "flat binary file" and what does it mean to "compile it"? – Branko Dimitrijevic Aug 30 '12 at 01:41

Compile it? You mean include it in the resulting exe? – dgnorton Aug 30 '12 at 01:42

From wikipedia: `If a binary file does not contain any headers, it may be called a flat binary file.` – Jesse Good Aug 30 '12 at 01:48

Nope.
VisualC++ is a C++ compiler; it takes C++ source code and produces object files. If you want something else, use a different tool.
