Hi Ian!
One possibility might be that your computer's not fast enough (as you can't 
change the screen resolution in GLUT's fullscreen mode) -> use 
doublebuffering.  I never had this problem when using glut, maybe 'cause I 
always used GLUT_DOUBLEBUFFER.
Because of the nonexisting resolution change stuff I switched over to 
SDL.  And you know what?  It's better!!!
And another thing is:  it seems like those devCPP guys don't know a lot 
about OpenGL.  Noone ever helped me when I had problems (so I switched to, 
please excuse, VisualC++).
Anyway, hope the doublebuffer is the problem ...

int main(int argv, char *argv[]) {...} is the 'correct' way.

 I found "Windows Sockets:  A Quick And Dirty Primer" mirrored on many di=
fferent websites. Here's One:
http://world.std.com/~jimf/papers/sockets/winsock.html

There is so much information on sockets, you might want to look at source=
 for IRC clients for ideas... I found all these using google with the sea=
rch " Irc client source code c++ " without quotes.

Here is the one C++ source I could find..(He has windows port buried on h=
is apache server). His site is listed second:
http://cvs.kvirc.net/index.cgi/
http://kvirc.firenze.linux.it/cgi-bin/pragma.cgi?view=3Dcode

C++ source as well as IRC documentation links:
http://www.codeguru.com/network/irc.html

Second download listed on the below page is written in c and gives you so=
urce (also look at OpenIrc using find next function in exployer)
http://desktopsource.mindjunction.com/index.php3?type=3D&lang=3DC&main=3D=
Source


Use Google and well worded search and I know you can find more. There was=
 more info but I not that interested in writing the code myself. Mirc wor=
ks fine for me:) Hope this gives you a starting place.

Hi Ian:

In you will have to work with socket connections that is "an interface"=20
to the operating system to send data over a network. Widely used these=20
days in Internet. I am working in an e-mail software, then I had to=20
research a little about it.

A socket is very much like a telephone - it's the endpoint of a
two-way communications channel.  By connecting two sockets together
you can pass data between processes, even processes running on
different computers, just as you can talk over the telephone once
you've made a phone call connecting your telephone with someone
else's.

You will find many tutorials in internet if you search for : Winsock,=20
socket connection, Windows Sockets, etc.

There is a good tutorial called "Windows Sockets:  A Quick And Dirty=20
Primer", but I do not remember the http address, anyway you can search=20
for this title.

If you wish I have a few pdfs about socket I can send you. Just let me=20
know if you want them.

Hope this can help you start.

Flavio.

Hello everyone.
      i've been playing around abit with GLUT latley but there is one thing 
that keeps going wrong.
      i can display some OpenGL in a window, but everytime i make it 
full-screen the image blinks and flickers. does anyone else had this problem 
and if so, how can i get rid of it.

if anyone has any ideas how to resolve this problem please reply.

thanks

ian

Here is the code verbatim:

    textcolor(BLUE); 
    printf("%s", "Hello world, this text should be Blue.");

I had no problems compiling it, but the linker kicked out an error
message stating that textcolor definition could not be found. 

The only possible solution to this problem could be the include
directory in my setup so maybe I should change it to the G++ one. What
do you think? 

I want to kindly thank you for your response and look forward to

Thanx 
Danny. 

Nor getch() nor textcolor() are ANSI C/C++ functions. They are
considered as system extensions. Dev-C++ has getch() but since
textcolor() is about graphics in dos, you are looking for some C/C++
graphic library (e.g. alegro).

Hi there

  I am wondering if anybody out there could provide me with some 
suggestions.  I installed the GLUT libraries to Dev C++ 4.01 and ran an 
example program which made use of GLUT functions.  THe program runs fine, 
but whenever I close the program, I cannot re-open Dev C++.  I must always 
exit it by the ctrl-alt-delete method.  Has anybody else experienced this? 
Any ideas? Perhaps I should try it with version 4.0?

The situations where ANSI C++ code doesn't compile is extremely rare. In
fact MINGW32 of Dev-C++ is one of the most ANSI C++ compliant compilers
i have ever seen. Can you send us an example ANSI code that refuses to
compile?

Subject: [Dev-C++] Giving up


I give up on DEV-C++ I understand that it's a front end IDE for the gnu
compiler that comes in two compilers cygwin, and mingw. 

My reason for giving up is whatever compiler I use it won't accept ANSI
standard code and gives me false linker messages. 

One good thing I found out is that Bloodshed Software also distributes a
Pascal IDE called DEV-PAS which is much more user friendly. Also the
Pascal language is much easier to learn (I learned it before I did C)
using common English phrases as opposed to C/C++. 

After reviewing DEV-PAS I found it is a much better IDE for creating
Applications, both Windows and DOS console ones. 

I will still subscribe to this group in the hope of problems being
posted and their possible solutions so I can learn more about 32 bit
programming using C/C++. 

I want to thank everyone who has responded to my mail, and want to
apologize to those who I gave help and examples that didn't work when I
tried them personally. 

Good Luck and happy programming, 
Danny 

I installed Dev-C++ 4 version + the downloaded update
I also installed qt.  When I compile the examples I get
can't find \Bin.  The paths are set properly (checked !)
I work with Windows98.=20
Anybody any idea?!

First, you must include conio.c;
Second: Did you upgraded the mingw compiler?, the new changes conio.* by
other version without the function. Or at least it doesn't work for me.
In the new conio.h the enum colors that says what number is each color
has been deleted. See your conio.h file, there you'll know the version.
If you need I can send you the older versions..

Hi, Jack

I will attempt to answer your question, but I think it is not related to 
what is generally known as "conditional compilation".

allow me to use a simple example to better explain the point and excuse me 
if I say things which you already know or if I misunderstood your question.

Say that your program is made of two source files and one header file:

hello.c                     print.h                        print.c
--------                    --------                       --------
#include "print.h"          #ifndef print_h                #include <stdio.h>
int main()                  #define print_h                #include "print.h"
{                                                          void print(const 
char *s)
   print("Hello world");     void print(const char *);      {
   return 0;                                                  puts(s);
}                           #endif                         }
-----------------------     ----------------------- 
-----------------------

After writing the above by Dev editor (and adding them to a project, oddly 
one which I would, but can't, name "hello"!), say that you click the 
"compile" button: Dev-C++ will compile the two source files and call the 
linker to produce the executable file. This is Ok.

If you change something in "hello.c" only, and hit "compile" again you 
expect to see:
1) hello.c compiled
2) the linker called to produce the updated executable file

Instead what Dev-C++ does is:
1) compile hello.c
2) compile print.c
3) call the linker to update the executable file

Well actually in my case Dev-C++ says "access violation ..." and refuses to 
compile! But that is another story :-)

In any case there is no need to compile "print.c" because it hasn't changed 
nor did the header file "print.h" change; IMHO the Dev-C++ approach, 
consisting of "always compile everything", is time consuming.

There is more: if you generate a makefile using Dev, you will find out that 
the makefile is no smarter than the IDE, I mean it too says: "always 
compile everything"

It looks like the "project manager" of Dev-C++ doesn't  build a "dependency 
table", so it lacks the understanding about what needs to be compiled when; 
for instance in the above small program a dependency table should look like 
the following: (say that hello.exe is the name of the executable file)

   file:         depends on:         should be updated when it is older than:
hello.exe    hello.o, print.o        hello.o or print.o by the linker
hello.o      hello.c, print.h        hello.c or print.h by the compiler
print.o      print.c, print.h        print.c or print.h by the compiler

So, in the end, you are missing no setting, "always compile everything" is 
a bug of DEV-C++.

A possible solution: avoid using Dev-C++ to compile (and build the 
executable), use it only as an editor (or use the editor "ConTEXT" 
www.fixedsys.com/context), then resort to the program "make" and to a 
makefile (of course not generated by Dev) to build/update the executable file.

If you are interested, I can supply an elementary program to generate 
simple makefiles suitable for console applications (I lack knowledge of 
Windows programming so don't know how to generate such applications); the 
generator can be used from the command line or as an external tool of some 
editor (for instance "ConTEXT").

Hello Danny846842,

I have (or think of having) small knowledge of ANSI C89 and develop only 
console applications: I find both MinGW gcc 2.95 and Borland BC++ 5.5 fully 
ANSI compliant.

I'm learning ANSI C++ and find BC++ 5.5 close enough to the the standard.

I know nothing about Windows programming but, IMHO, Windows applications do 
not use standard instructions (I'm saying it because I once saw that 
Windows applications have "WinMain" where ANSI expects "main").

I agree that Dev-C++ is not perfect, especially I do not like the "always 
compile everything" approach, so I use MinGW gcc (or BC++ 5.5) from the 
command line (or from within the editor "ConTEXT"); I think that if you 
develop console applications, you too can use the command line giving C/C++ 
a second chance.

Dev-C++ was my first free c++ IDE.

Thanks be to the Bloodshed developers -- you're doing a good job!

I moved on to Borland bcc 5.5. and Context
(http://www.fixedsys.com/context/) -- both free and this setup does a great
job building programs that use certain Win2000 specific API's that mingw and
cygwin haven't implemented yet.

A small suggestion to the Dev-C++ - if you made the Dev-C++ IDE able to
invoke the command line and parse return messages like 'Context' does ---
well, that would be the icing on the cake because it could then work with
Borland's compiler as well.

I found I had to upgrade to VC++ when beginning work in DirectX 8
applications, Dev wasn't easy to work with then. But I found it invaluable
starting off in the big world of programming.
Let's raise a glass to it ;)

I give up on DEV-C++ I understand that it's a front end IDE for the gnu 
compiler that comes in two compilers cygwin, and mingw.

My reason for giving up is whatever compiler I use it won't accept ANSI 
standard code and gives me false linker messages.

One good thing I found out is that Bloodshed Software also distributes a 
Pascal IDE called DEV-PAS which is much more user friendly. Also the Pascal 
language is much easier to learn (I learned it before I did C) using common 
English phrases as opposed to C/C++.

After reviewing DEV-PAS I found it is a much better IDE for creating 
Applications, both Windows and DOS console ones.

I will still subscribe to this group in the hope of problems being posted and 
their possible solutions so I can learn more about 32 bit programming using 
C/C++.

I want to thank everyone who has responded to my mail, and want to apologize 
to those who I gave help and examples that didn't work when I tried them 
personally.

Good Luck and happy programming,
Danny

Hello,

I have a project with five source mods.  If I alter one of them and select
compile, that mod plus three of the others compile.  In fact, if I press
compile right after a compile finishes, it goes through another compile. 
Can someone tell me if this is normal behavior for Dev-C++ or am I 
missing a setting?

Jack

Hi,

is there any way to detect whether a PC is connected with a LAN. Recently 
the function: 

bool __stdcall FileExist(char* s)
{
struct _finddata_t f;
long hFile;
hFile = _findfirst(s, &f);
_findclose(hFile);
return (hFile == -1 ? 0 : -1);
} // FileExist 

does it. But now,  it does not. 

Thanks for every tip 

greetings Horst 

can someone explain to me how to use color text just for simple messages?  
I've tried some of the tutorials online but they don't compile on Dev.  I'm 
not worried about how to make background colors, just the text messages 
themselves.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanx.  digimars

Hi all.
 
My question is:
When you program with Glade and gtk+ you can drag and drop textfields
etc. Is there anyway to do that in devc++? I've downloaded and installed
the gtk+ package and runtime lib.
 
Best regards
Claus
