Thread: [Dev-C++] License issue

I'm wondering Dev-C++ built by commercial product (Delphi), what the
admins plans for future ?

not anybody has Delphi (I've one but it's cracked huhuhu :-P ), usually
open source community using open source resourced not commercials !,
I've tested Dev-C++ it's very good but i need it for Linux and i got
fear when i saw Delphi !, so i need answers from Admin specially, cuz
Dev-C++ not small project it will be big project in the future if it has
popular in open source community .

DevC++ is built in delphi, there are no plans or any future development.
you could try codeblocks, which is still under development
Codeblocks is due to release 1.03 soon.

DevC++ is still useable, but won't be updated.

Cheers,
Scott..

I would say that the choice of Delphi was the largets stumbling stone for
Dev-C++. If implemented in C++, a lot of people would have sent in patches
with bug fixes and new functions, instead of just sending in bug reports
and enhancement requests.

The survivability of a project depends to a significant part on the amount
of fresh blood that can cooperate to maintain it.

Maybe this open source project becomes or is already an usable 
alternativ to Dev-C++


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Code::Blocks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The open source, cross platform Free C++ IDE.


Code::Blocks is a free C++ IDE built to meet the most demanding needs of 
its users.
It is designed to be very extensible and fully configurable.

Among others, it imports Dev-C++ projects.

Built around a plugin framework, Code::Blocks can be extended with plugins.
It even includes a plugin wizard so you can create your own plugins! 
(Free SDK downloaded separately)

Finally, an IDE with all the features you need, having a consistent 
look, feel and operation across platforms.



One of the developers said, how he joined the free Code::Blocks project:

"I was a regular Dev-C++ user. I had used it for some time, and recently 
had tested
its spinoff wx-devcpp by Guru Kathiresan.

Around 2004, I thought that a C++ IDE should be written in C++ (and not 
in Delphi, like Dev-C++ is written),
So I began thinking on the idea of a cross-platform IDE. After 
researching on various
free IDE's, I found Code::Blocks and joined in the beginnings of 2005 to 
help debug
and implement one or two features. Since then, I've been using 
Code::Blocks and never regretted it! :)"

Yes, Code:Blocks is really, really good. I normally use it for all new
projects, and often convert older projects from Dev-C++ to Code:Blocks.

I liked the package handling in Dev-C++, but since I do most of my
development using different versions of MinGW, I have to rebuild any
libraries anyway.

Code::Blocks has a better editor, better integration with compilers,
better integration with debugger, better support for syntax-highlighting
of other languages or custom file formats, ...

When having a choice, I definitely recommend Code:Blocks.
