Thread: Re: [Dev-C++] Does anybody use DISLIN together with DEV-C++ ?

Hi Derek and all others,

the README.WIN instructions are useless  in connection with the
"DISLIN + DEV-C++ (v. 4.9.9.2)" problem. I found out the right solution o=
f=20
this
problem and here it is.

->>1)
Download dl_90_mg.zip from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/grafik/dislin/windows

->>2)

The library files "dismgc.a" and "dismgc_d.a" which are in mentioned zip=20
archive rename
to "libdismgc.a" and "libdismgc_d.a" and put into the directory=20
"...Dev-Cpp\lib".
The headers files "dislin.h" and "dislin_d.h" copy into the directory=20
"...Dev-Cpp\include" thats
the end of installation, it's easy isn't it :))

->>3)

Every Dev-C++ project in which is Dislin used, must be linked with=20
parameters

  -ldismgc -lgdi32
  or
  -ldismgc_d  -lgdi32 in case of using  data type DOUBLE. In that case mu=
st=20
be included header "dislin_d.h" too.

Above mentioned parameters must be written into the field=20
"Project->Project Options->Parameters->Linker" in mentioned
order !

     That is all

Sorry for the late reply, my net's conked out. There's no need for
renaming files or disturbing Dev-C++'s includes.

First place dislin.h and dismgc.a in the directory of your source file(s).

If you are not using a project, then on a DOS prompt, navigate to the
directory and give the following command. Its way simpler than messing
with the library/linker options. Here, pss.cpp is my code and pss.exe is
the output file. You may have to add g++.exe to your PATH.

g++ -o pss.exe pss.cpp -L. dismgc.a -mwindows

If you are using a project, then go to project options and in the linker
tab, add the two parameters "dismgc.a" and "-mwindows" (without the
quotes). I'm not sure about the minus sign. Please check that.

If you are making a console app, you will have to make use of argc[] and
argv because DISLIN creates win32 apps (the mwindows switch takes cares
of user32, gdi32) which don't permit console IO
using printf()/scanf() or cout/cin.

Go this way - Build >> Compiler options >> Linker >> Other linker

There seems to be way out using namespaces; you would have to move from 
using C to C++. Using both libraries shouldn't be a problem if you can 
successfully resolve the scope. But I really haven't tried out Dislin 
that much. I mainly use C/C++ to complete some of the assignments in my 
engineering under-graduate course ;-)
