Actually, I NEVER downloaded a full package, just the IDE :)

But if you read again, you'll see that I wrote, that Dev-C++ uses 2.95 
*features* and *tools*, by which I meant, that though GCC 3.2 contains 
dllwrap, and other things for backward compatibility, those are still 
considered outdated, and the new ways of compiling should be used. Even 
the latest full package of Dev-C++ still uses dllwrap.
Which is slow and old. :P

Dear Users,

   I need to build some pictures on the screen and it must be in a DOS
window program (Console Application).
   I can use the Borland compilers that still support
graphics.h (line, clearviewport, circle, etc, etc, etc).

   -->Is there any library in Dev/gcc that gives me the same functions?
   -->If don´t, can I link in only one executabele file a borland .obj
file with anothers gcc .o files?

   Regards
   Andre

A couple of questions.
=20
Is there a way to rebuild the library cache?  It crashed the first time =
I started the application after upgrading. It also doesn't appear to be =
completing code.  Is there a snippet of code that I can use to test the =
code completion features?
=20
I downloaded many of the available packages.  Is there an interface to =
access the new items through the application or do you have to find them =
in the application directory?

Sincerely,=20

See void* as a pointer of unknown type. If you do

char *charptr;
void *voidptr = xx;

charptr = (char*)voidptr;

then you tell the compiler that you know for sure that the typeless
voidptr is actually ok to treat as a pointer to char.

The later "full package" releases include the 3.2 compiler... I suppose =
you
haven't downloaded a full package in a long time :P

the
latest (at LEAST 3.2) version of GCC.

For example 'invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'CHAR*'

or 'invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'HFONT__*' occuring on this piece =
of code under WndProc:

		{
			HFONT hfDefault;

It normally doesn't help you to know about different scheduling
algorithms, since your OS will perform the scheduling for you.

About scheduling, there are a large number of good books. Look for
operating system internals or similar as keywords.

Change to NT/2k/XP to get longer command lines.
Check if you can move source and/or include files to get shorter paths.

Hi ,

I try to use  DevCpp to compile some code coming from Linux , and being 
port with VC7. Everything fine except during the link.
It is said that my command line is too long while linking ?
Do you know if there is some option or workaround for this problem ?
Thank you.

You should include file
<projectname>_private.h

There are defined (#define) consts about major, minor and build number

for example:

#define VER_STRING "0.0.0.37"
#define VER_MAJOR 0
#define VER_MINOR 0
#define VER_RELEASE 0
#define VER_BUILD 37

Hi all,
  The current release of devcpp is only support gcc 3.2. However, the
newest version of gcc is 3.3.x. Accordingly to the documentation of gcc,
some new features will only found on 3.3.x, I wonder why devcpp don't
upgrade the compiler to the new version ????

Is there anyway to include the version info (in the project options) into my
code at compile time?

i.e.
I want my application's title bar to contain the major,minor and build
number.
Are there any special preprocessor directives that I can use?

It's a pain having to copy it every time I do a build and it's too easy to
forget
to update.

Thanks
Paul

I've not used directsound before, I am working on the Direct3D side of

Tired of 56k? Get a FREE BT Broadband connection 
http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband

Hello,

 Thanks for response.

 I got it:
 The third parameter was wrong, should be:
  LPDIRECTSOUNDBUFFER lpDSBuffer;

  IDirectSound_CreateSoundBuffer( lpDS, &dsbd, &lpDSBuffer, NULL );

 I still don't know what doesn't it compile without modyfing dsound.h and
mmsystem.h. do you have the same problem?

 Thanks,
 Marek

I think I see a problem,

IDirectSound_CreateSoundBuffer( &pdsbuffer, &dsbd, &pdsbuffer, NULL );

why is there an underscore therE?

and secondly (important) you must get a pointer to an interface and then use 
that pointer to access the interface functions.

Try that and see if it helps.

My opinion differs.  I am only offering an alternative that may provide 
alain the means
to get the end result he wants w less code modification.  I imagine he 
could as easily configure
Dev-C++ to use borlands compiler/libs/dlls.  His choice.  But,
I have no issue with my application utilizing the cygwin dll.
In my opinion, cygwin more than makes up for that by:
  providing a posix/linux/unix env to work in
  providing ~all the tools of a *nix environment
  allowing me to run any Xwindows client i desire
  providing me the ease to take most any *nix source code download &
     untar it; type ./configure; type make; type make install and be 
done w/o
     having to re-write the code
   providing me the ease of use to move code that I am working on from 
*nix to
   Win* and back.
   etc, etc

how do you define native code?
The cygwin dll( c code compiled on windows to run on windows) is as 
native as any of the mingw .dll/.a files.  And they (the mingw files) 
are 3rd party libs.

But your application will be dependent on the Cygwin DLLs, which can be a
nuisance. I always prefer native code over emulation, especially when the
emulation requires 3rd party libraries.

If you configure Dev-C++ to use cygwin as the build env you will not have to
change your code.

	Hi all, 


	I managed to compile a simple program that should just wait for an
icoming connection on a inet type socket. I did it under Mac OS X and Linux,
and I want to do the same thing with dev-cpp. 


	Due to explanation give on this mailing list (thanks for your quick
and usefull answers), I change the code to use winsock.h instead of
sys/socket.h. I added the necessary library and DLLs. The program starts
correctly and get it the function to create the socket file descriptor (it
is very simple) : 


	int sockfd; 


	sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); 


	BUT the result of socket function is always -1 (sockfd = -1). What
could be the cause of that ? I found a similar example of socket creation
for windows, I did exactly the same as in the example. The only thing I have
found in "socket" man page is : 


	"A -1 is returned if an error occurs" 


	But how can an error happen at this step ? 


	Thank you for any advice. 


	Best regards.

Where did you inform DevC++ that you wanted to link your application with
the mysql library? From the compiler output, you can see where the linker
looks for libraries (-L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib"). However, that is not enough. You
also have to tell it which extra libraries you need, such as -lmySQL.

Did you try c:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\MySQLClientTest?

There are no Dev C++ Implemented Basic Library, since Dev C++ isn't a
compiler but an IDE.

Check out MinGW (the used compiler), gcc (which MinGW is based on) or
Microsoft MSDN - since you are programming on the Windows platform.

The main() is hidden inside windows libraries. Your application will start
with WinMain() - or DllMain() in case of a DLL.

Dear fellows,

I runned the API examples WinTest and WinMenu that come with Dev C++ (folder
Dev-Cpp\Examples\) with absolute sucess. I could notice that there is no
main() start function in these programs. I would like to understand how can
a C/C++ program have no main(), or start point or where is it in these
examples.

Thanks for your help
