GCC output directory

Might b e a bit OT, but I know there's lots of you who can help
quickly.

Is there any way to let gcc/g++ output the .o files in a folder I can
specify?

Thank you for not flaming,

int main(int argc, char** argv) {printf
("%silto%c%cf%c gl%ssic%ccom%c" , "ma", 58, 'g', 64, "ba", 46, 10);}

What's wrong with g++ followed by a cp?

-o is a common compiler switch to specify the output file name.

in my case "mv". The files are generated in the directory of the
g++.exe. But the compiler directory might be read only to a normal
user, so it would be nice if I could tell it to use another one in the
first place...

I think you'll find they're placed in the current directory, not the
directory containing gcc.
