dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++

The only way I know:
1. Write the code with Dev-C++.
2. Transfer it to some removable storage device or a server.
3. Compile the code on that platform.

May I see the code you are having trouble with?

There might be a way you could use a script, but I am not sure about it.

Hi

... If I'm allowed to 'guess' I think Rudolph is looking to X-compile to
Unix and test his solution with his PC ... (more or less) ?

If so I received a note on this tonight from Reid T ...

r> Windows Services for UNIX
r> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp .
r>
r> Previously they charged $100 for it.  It's along the same
r> lines as Cygwin but may be closer to MINGW/Windows than
r> Cygwin.


Which may be the toy you need Rudolph to write LINUX target code ... ?
Cause I (assume) it emulates the unix (generic, *lol*) interfaces.

If not you may resume normal viewing in 5 seconds...

What do you mean?

Basically, you can't, unless you use WINE or some other emulator in =
Linux
to run the program. DevC++ works with MinGW, which generated machine =
code
for MS Windows. It won't run on Linux.

To make the program run on Linux, you would have to recompile it using
GCC on Linux, which may or may not be an easy task depending on whether
the source code in question uses the Windows API.

sorry, but the only two ways for optimizing for MMX and such are compiler
flags or assemblercoding connected to C (C++ can't support Assembler directly,
course names conventions)

no, there is no way, you have to include every directory separately :(

but you can still use the gnu-makefiles for compiling, also if the files are
not in the project;
only add the makefiles into project->project options and compile the stuff

wininet.h is the header for a microsoft DLL )I forget  which one, probably 
wininet.dll :-)
which supplies "high level" networking facilities.

The Docs are here, on your friendly neighbourhood msdn site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wininet/wininet/about_wininet.asp

I'm pretty new to dev-cpp/mingw, but scanning the dev-cpp include dir turns 
up a copy
of the wininet.h header and the libs folder has a libwininet.a, so I assume 
you should be able to use it.
I haven't tried of course, but I don't like the wininet library anyway.

For "low level" stuff, you need to use winsock, the windows implementation 
of Berkely sockets,
which isn't much different. (On cygwin you should be able to use the native 
*nix api )

Hi,
My name is Hung. I downloaded the devcpp4980 a few
months ago. I installed it and tried countless of
times but the one and only error i got is "unable to

i follow steps in help menu. Even when i activated the
program samples, still the same error everytime. So
please help me fix it. I'd really appreciate that so
much. By the way, my computer window is an XP. Please

Has anyone able to complied program using

Thank you in advance.

Yes, and at the same time, I think it is unfair to 'expect' on the Dev-CP=
P
team to keep abrest of every subtle change or update in the compilers.  C
and C++ is a tool for people who will one day 'know' what their code does
and does not do (I am allowing for learners too, you see... *smile*).

I also thing there is something that can be DONE to redress the catch-up
process between Dev-CPP and an innovation in the compiler, or verily, any
other 'tool' or library.

Some of this I've discovered it is possible to do by hand, and yes it is
related to the templates (.devpacks), which means ALL of us can develop
better "Dev-CPP structures" and directory hierachies, to support changed =
in
the underlying tools.  (Me too ...oops).

The compiler is a brilliant example.  The 4.9.8.5 Dev-CPP uses

          gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2 (mingw special 20020817-1)

compiler.  It is installed  'under' the Dev-cpp folder hierachy.  As
(visual)

    ./dev-cpp/bin/gcc.exe
                     /include
                     /lib

While this all makes sense if one is using only one compiler, and
environment say as I might with a microsoft(r) product.  Does it make sen=
se
in the Dev-cpp world.  I recently grabbed the mingw 3.3 compiler suite.

         gcc.exe (GCC) 3.3.1 (mingw special 20030804-1)

And I placed it as a seperate hierachy so I can have different versions o=
f
the same tool placed so I can use the compiler of choice.  For example;

    ./dev-cpp/bin                                      (same, left it alo=
ne)
    ./mingw32/3.2/bin/gcc.exe
                         /include
                         /lib
    ./mingw32/3.3/bin/gcc.exe
                         /include
                         /lib
    ./wxWindows/ ......

Please note, my example of wxWindows... I can't "enforce" this on people,=
 it
is simply something I think will work better for me.  I have found occasi=
ons
when moving to a new version causes problems.  If I can alter the path to
point to a different configuration, and go backwards or forwards that is =
a
good thing.

It is also set up this way because Dev-cpp is not always the only tool to
use these directories and I don't want to point makefiles into a 'product
specific' folder layout.  In make, I cna use relative path references.
"../../here" and macros "$(WXSTUB)/include"... Hey it gets creative.

The consisitient point is by changing ONE folder (parameter) for a make, =
I
can build with a beta or a stable release, or old release.  Because there=
 is
a consistiency and anyone can setup their directories this way by hand.

So much the better imho, if the DevPack templates WE makeup started to
'think' like this.  And the 'think' is probably why things are as they ar=
e.
At some point there would need to be a 'consistient agreed scheme' so tha=
t
might work.

Something deep and challenging and complex like a "dev-cpp.config" file
perhaps ?

It could look like:

    [wxWindows]                      // peer tool
        path: $(package)/wxWindows

   [mingw32]                            // peer tool
       path: $(package)/mingw32/$(ver)/

   [winmerge]                            // peer tool
       path: $(tool)/winmerge/

   [cvs]                                   // peer tool
       path: $(tool)/cvs/

Where $ver is the user designation (folder name) or null for that version.
An empty $(ver) might be the default compiler, wxWindows, resource editor=
,
etc

And the macro: "$(package)" is a folder path where these toys 'go to'.

The other thing is sometimes, there are tools already in place, that I ca=
n't
"just move" because that might mean changing other bits and pieces.  I'm
pointing out user-supportive concepts.  It is rare for most people to hav=
e
to work where I can make No assumptions about the deployed-configuration =
for
software.  That is changing.  OSS means plug-n-play together.  So think
flexible folks...

That's a 15 min write-up.  It seems to me that 'chaotic' tool use and
placement forces people into two modes.  First is a supportive mode where
everything goes HERE.  Second is a spend a few days (hours then) configur=
ing
where things go... do-it-yourself.

A few macros, with default values and using relative paths can offer a
median path between flexibility and utility.  To its credit, DevCPP allow=
s
me to set-up my folders how I wish.  It is the way DevPacks and tempelate=
s
are organised that stop it being 'as valuable' as it might be.  Or to be
fair, it is the way it began and has not been looked at ...

As  the 'customers' and 'users' of dev cpp we could begin consensus for
peer/external (to dev cpp) tools and add-ins.  It isn't the dev cpp's
business if you need to use mingw v2.x, but if you upgrade dev cpp, it mi=
ght
break your project by up-dating the compier.... oopz.

What I can not find so far is where the Dev CPP defaults are maintained. =
 I
would hope they are in some resouce and not compiled Into dev cpp ???

Aloha,
               William
