Re: [Dev-C++] How to use ShellExecute?

Recommendation:

If your code doesn't compile, the compiler emits error messages. Cut these
out and post to this list.

If your code doesn't link, the linker will emit error messages. Cut these
out and post to this list.

Just about always when someone have done everything correct, there is
still something done wrong. The MinGW compiler (DevC++ is just graphical
environment - MinGW is the compiler) is not know to regularly fail to
compile valid code.
