RE: [Dev-C++] hello and .dev files

The .dev file can be opened and edited with a text editor. It will =
contain the reference to the old read_level.c file.=20

BUT the SAFEST way to deal with this problem is to:=20
1) in Windows explorer copy the file draw_level.c to a file called =
read_level.c
2) open the project in DevC++ - it should now open OK because it will =
see read_level.c
3) remove read_level.c from the project=20
4) add the file draw_level.c to the project=20
5) confirm all is OK and close the project=20
6) from Windows explorer delete the read_level.c file you created in 1) =
above. You won't need it now.=20

This should fix it.=20

The reasons why using a text editor to change the reference to =
read_level.c in the .dev file is not recommended is that a) any mistake =
will cause DevC++ to reject the .dev file, and b) DevC++ writes a time =
stamp to each file in the .dev file to tell if the files have been =
changed since DevC++ last had them open - I don't know how to ensure =
this time stamp is correctly set.=20

Hope this helps.=20

Subject: [Dev-C++] hello and .dev files


Hello!

 first question to the list;

i'm wondering;
i re-named one of my .c files in a project to draw_level.c from =
read_level.c
but when i open
the project i get cannot find read_level.c . Obviously Dev-C's looking
for read_level.c not draw_level.c

 is there a way to access the .dev file
to change what files it looks 4?
(assuming this is when the info on what files the project's made of is
kept).

thanks for any help,

william
