RE: [Dev-C++] Newbie Quesition

DrG,

In the Dev-cpp IDE you need to open a project, then set up various things in
the project, such as... libraries to be included, paths to search, etc.
(The things that you normally would do on the command line???)

Dev-cpp then "builds" the make file using your configuration options and
executes it when you hit the compile button in the IDE.

After you have created a new project, check out Project/Options on the menu.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Newbie Quesition


I'm trying to learn to use Dev-cpp 5, but I'm having a little trouble
figuring out how to compile programs that I download.  I downloaded some
libraries that I need, and they came in a nice fancy directory structure
with a make file and all.  How do I go about compiling these with Dev-Cpp.
If I were on linux or something, I'd know exactly what to do from the
comand-line, but this graphical tool is a little strange to me.  Do I have
to create a new project?  If so, what files do I need to add to the project,
and how do I get it to "make"?  Once the libraries are built, where do I put
them?

thanks!
DrG
