How would I go about creating a windows service given a ANSI
compliant
console program?

?? you only need to add -lalleg to Linker options when compiling allegro program, I don't think it can be easier :-)

SDL: www.libsdl.org
Allegro: I forget, try looking for liballeg on Google
CLDGDI: Don't know

Any of these packages are available through WebUpdate in your Dev-C++
folder.  They install easily and the sample program should compile
perfectly.  My personal favourite is SDL though, because Allegro requires
to much configuration, IMHO.

Hi everyone,
I think this is a very important question; at least for me!!!!
I am personally not a heavy programmer, however, I use graphics in many of
the programs I write.
In order to avoid the hassle with graphics in C/C++, I usually use C/C++ to
do the bulk of the processing and then dump the output in a certain format
and then use other programs, such as gnuplot, to plot the results.
I would be very much interested to see how I can integrate everything in one
program.
I tried to find SDL, Allegro and CLGDI but was not successful in that
direction. Could you please shed more light on where to find them, how to
install them (if it needs special installation or configuration for the
compiler) and how to make sure this things is working, by providing some
examples.
I am very interested to know what works under windows and/or unix or linux
OSes.

Thank you.
Ahmed

You have to pass to the linker the options -lgdi -lbgi -mingw32 (I think
this is the order you have to pass, I remember there was an order needed
for those arguments, but I'm not sure about what it was). I deleted all
the projects I did using it, so I cannot open one to check it.
If that's not the problem try including conio.h either before or after
winbgim.
What I remember of when I used this is that sometimes it worked adding
conio after or before, or not adding, adding or not some library
options... it was a bit of mess.

Hi,

I am not entirely sure if this is the solution, but maybe you should go to:
Tools -> Compiler Options -> Settings -> Linker
and set "Do not use standard system startup files or libraries" to "Yes"

when i run the program as below,there are  so many errors,i have downloaded
the CLGdiDevpak through webupdate.i really found some mistakes in the header
file <winbgi.h>,but after i correct there basic mistakes and compile it ,there
are still errors.this time i don't know what i should do.the program as
following:

/*    name.c ... this program is quoted from Dev-cpp/Templates/consoleGdi*/

#include <winbgim.h>

main()

{

 	initwindow(640,480); 

	setcolor(WHITE);  

	circle(320,240,100);

 	getch();   

 	closegraph();       

 	return 0;

}

what can i do ?i am learning C language by myself,so please say it clearly.thx
thx thx thx thx thx thx thx thx thx....................

you need to install CLGDI devpak for using these functions
it is available through WebUpdate (Tools\Check for Updates/Packages... in menu)

how i can use the graphic mode in dev c++ ,and funtions like
circle(),line()etc.thx.

That would be my suspicion, but I don't know where the problem might lie...
How can I tell which of the libraries included in the Dev-C++/mingw
distribution are not thread-safe?

I would suspect either your threaded code, or that you are not linking with
a thread-safe library.
