dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++ (Page 6)

Am using Dev 4.0 and want to go to 4.01.  Which files do I need to downlo=
ad, and how do I install the upgrade?  Do I need to do a complete re-inst=
all?  Any help is well appreciated.  Thank you, JFK.

Hello !

I'm not very happy about the following features of Dev-C++:
- there is no way to compile a single file
- "compile project" compiles everything (even files for which obj is
   up-to-date)

I decided to work around this by using directly the Mingw compiler.
To start, I looked at the file produced by Dev when you ask to generate the 
makefile and I have some questions:
- has a DOS command line (Win 98 - DOS box) any max length (in old DOS there
   was a 128 char limit)?
- does gcc have anyhing like the "response file" of bcc32?
- when developing a console mode application, do I need to link rsrc.o?

thank you for your help.

Hello,

You can use:

GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) to get the screen width
an GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) for the  height.

The function return the size in pixels. You have to add libuser32.a in
your project option and to include windows.h.

GetSystemMetrics with the options SM_CXFULLSCREEN, SM_CYFULLSCREEN should work

I   hope   that   you'll   find  the  attached  files  of  some  help.

I suggest that upon splitting the name of the file, the separator is not=20
discarded, instead it is kept as the last char of the path: doing so allows=
=20
you to rebuild the name of the file by joining what has  been  returned  by=
=20
"thepath" (as long as it is not NULL) and what has been returned by=20
"thefile" regardless of which is the separator (i.e. a backslash, a colon=20
or a slash).

To run an external program try the standard function:
int system(const char *cmd)
which is included in stdlib.h

A trivial (DOS) example:
    system("pause");

Howdy...

For executing an external file try WinExec().

As for the resolution - there is a way - I'll have to look it up though!

The previous code that I sent is for converting a dos/windows path to
unix path. I hadn't read carefully what you have written.  If you want
to split the directory path from the filename in a dos/windows
environment use this:

#include <string.h>
...
char s[]=3D"path\\filename";
char filename[255];
char path[1024];
size_t i;
char *p=3Dstrrchr(s, "\\");

strcpy(filename, p);

for(i=3D0; i<p-s; i++)
  path[i]=3Ds[i];

path[i]=3D'\0';

This can be done better but it is a quick (and error-prone) example.

Sure it would be faster. LOL! = P

And for the matter of the "/" (UNIX) and "\" ( DOS ) well,
you could perform a first research on the "/" or the "\".
If you don't get one then you know which one to use, and you could set a
state variable
to remember which one to find next.

Why wouldn't you go from the end to the beginning, and try to find a '\'?
When you do, everything after is a file, and before is the path. Similar,
but I'd say a little bit faster.

Don't forget that Unix uses forward slashes and DOS (somewhat =
annoyingly,
IMO) uses backslashes.  So if you're testing for a particular =
character, it
won't work indentically on different platforms.

What you can do is a loop, where the condition is " do I find another \ " ?
And you could do like this.
You find the first "\"
copy "c:\" in a string.
Look for another "\"
paste the sequel to the first string
I mean : "things\" to " c:\"
and you get a string with : "c:\things\"
then you look for another "\"
And you have : "alfa\" paste it to your string, and you get
"c:\things\alfa\"
Since you don't have anymore "\" the rest of the string will be a filename.
Use the strstr() function
strcp() ( if I remember the name ).
They are all in the string.h
Hope it helps.

Fabien.

I am trying to get dev-C++ to compile the quake 2 dll, and it goes =
through the code fine, but when i get to the linking, the linker says =
"cannot find -lmingw

also, how do i make the compiler use a def file? i tried adding one to =
the project, but it stil says no def file, one will be created, but may =
not be what you want.

ok...i was compiling the dll in the background, and now it says =
something diffrent, it compiles the dll(woohoo!), but still cant find =
the def file.

i am trying to find a good tutorial on opengl for the bloodshed dev c++
can anybody help

and were i can find help files on the compiler

Well the truth is i dont feel like doing all that but go to 
filesearching.com, and the type the name of your file such as atliface.h
 and click search, then download it.

Hello everyone,
I have been recently downloading the Platform SDK in hope of getting the
following files but it is becoming too long to wait on my slow Internet
connection. If anyone can find these files on their hard drive, I would be
very pleased if you could send them to me as an attachment:
crtdbg.h
atliface.h
atlconv.h

Before you send them, however, would you mind looking through and searching
for any #include statements. Any files that need to be included that do not
come with Dev-C++ as part of the standard package, I would also like to
have, so that my project will compile.

Thank you very much,
Ramana
