Re: [Dev-C++] Win2000 specific function unavailable

MessageIoannis - Thanks for the tip. I installed the latest mingw but it =
still didn't work.=20

Basically cygwin and mingw both don't have the SetLayeredWindowAttribute =
function in their include files. Maybe because they're strapped down =
implementations. The Microsoft SDK does, and so does Borland's  free bcc =
5.5 command line compiler.=20

I finally gave up on mingw and sat down to fix a previous problem with =
my progam's compilation under the Borland compiler. It's working now - =
and I have a nice translucent window app running on my desktop. :)

To the Dev-C++ guys - is it possible at all to have the dev-c++ IDE use =
Borland's Compiler too. I tried, but it seems to only call gcc.exe =
instead of bcc32.exe=20

  Dev-C++ is an graphical  editor which uses a third party free compiler =
the MINGW32. Download the latest MINGW32 compiler and install it in the =
Dev-C++\bin directory so as to use the latest version. MINGW32 is GCC =
port for Windows that's why it carries things for many languages. The =
standard version carries, C/C++/Objective C/Fortran compilers.

    I've been trying to use a     in Dev-C++ for Windows.  However =
Dev-C++ throws an error saying :
          implicit declaration of function `int =
SetLayeredWindowAttributes(...)'


    I've grepped the Dev-C++ Include directories and the =
SetLayeredWindowAttributes function is missing. Are there any plans to =
update the Include directories?

    To fix this, I installed the Microsoft SDK (all 300 MB of it) and =
pointed Dev-C++'s include and lib files to it. However it now throws a =
new error:
    166 c:\progra~1\micros~3\include\windef.h from =
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Include\windows.h:161,
    The specific line in windef.h says " #include <winnt.h> "
    :-(    I don't know how to fix this! Someone help?
