Re: [Dev-C++] Newbie Quesition

Ok, this is helping, thanks for the info.  Now, this is definitely a gcc 
type package, which came in .tgz format.  So, I untar it, and everything is 
in this complex directory structure.  The "package" came with a configurator 
script, which I guess generates a makefile depending on the system the 
software is compiled on.  Anyway, normally under linux, you would do a "make 
configure", "make ode-lib" etc...  So, how do you do all of this with 
Dev-C++?  Or, should I be using cygwin instead?  Is there a way to 
recursively add files to a project, or do I have to pick them manually out 
of all those directories?

Thanks,
DrG
