Re: [Dev-C++] "Windows" vs. "Console"

You have program type settings under project options (Project / Project
Options / tab: General) You can select GUI, console, static lib or DLL
there. The other thing that pops up in my mind is that your DevCpp is
actually compiled for Windows so it has to be different from the Unix one.
The naming of those variables in the book wasn't very clever. I always name
my variables starting with something like "ml_" (my initials) or something
like that to avoid redeclarations. Do a global search and replace and change
LP to TCPL_LP :)
