I want to be sure and mention a couple of things before I get on to my question.
1.), I am a newbie to the forum, and also, very new to the C family of languages, in fact, new to any language that is not used for web programming.
2.) I did try to search this question, both in google, and in this forum, with no result that I could get any real information out of.
3.) I really do not know how to ask my question in a short easy way, but I will try my best.

I am looking for either a book, or an online tutorial, that, in plain English, explains how I can get certain types of results with a program. For instance, I want to build a program that, once finished will compile the results into an executable. The problem is, I can figure out how to build the program itself, but, I don't know how I would get from building the program, to getting it to build an exe file.

I would assume that, my program would first have to result in building a c or c++ or c# or whatever project and then using a compiler to compile the exe.

Problem is, the end user of the program is fairly computer illiterate. So, my program needs to automatically compile the project for them.

Or, do I need to build my own language?

I know that no one can explain step by step what I need to do AND help me with practicle code samples, but, if there is a book I can buy, or an online tutorial that I can get into, I would greatly appretiate the information.

I have bought several books on the subject of C programming and C++ programming, and I need a recomendation, due to the fact that, I find myself buying books that don't give me what I am looking for exactly.

Thanks
