There can be more problems, but you should really avoid using paths with

Hello everyone! :-D

Okay, all of my files compile perfectly on the command line; however 
Dev-C++ gives me this output:

--------------
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "F:\Projects\Finished\(Lua) Mythax\Src\cpp\Makefile.win"
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "F:\Projects\Finished\(Lua) Mythax\Src\cpp\Makefile.win" all
gcc.exe -c header.c -o ../cpp/out/header.o  
gcc.exe: no input files

make.exe: *** [../cpp/out/header.o] Error 1
Execution terminated
--------------

That command - 'gcc.exe -c header.c -o ../cpp/out/header.o' is exactly 
what I use on the DOS prompt.

Why is it giving me that? Thanks! ;-)

Hi,

In linux or any unix O.S., is it possible to trace the source of a signal
that cause a process to stop?
I'm thinking of writing a daemon that starts other process and then manage
it.  If that process is stopped by a kill or
whatever signal, I want the monitor daemon detect it.

I've read about ptrace system call but I'm not sure if this will have an
impact on the performance of the process being monitored.

Regards,
Chino

You can't convert a dll file to a static library.

Are you talking about creating an import library for your application?

Hello.



I'm intrested in makind a .a lib from a dll source, namingly icmp.dll in 
c:\system... but i can't seem to find makelib.exe in bin folder... can 
anyone lend me a helping hand in this matter?

The IDE normally have problem with multi-line error messages, resulting in
very strange error messages being displayed. Look at the unfiltered output
of the compiler instead.

I didn't say they would have an easy task killing it.

I just wrote that they are _trying_ :)

If all existing Win32 applications suddenly have to be emulated, a lot of
users will notice that they may just as well emulate it on Linux/Wine...

Mmmh, I would'nt be so sure about that.

Look what happened with the so-called "Dos Box". Started as command.com, moved up to 
cmd.exe with NT4, and I'm using it daily as a native scripting language on a XP 
machine. Why ? Just because many people are used to it, and that it doesn't cost 
anything to let it survive. (Not to say that many administrative tasks require some 
cmd.exe commands)
I hav'nt had a Vista machine, but I think I read somewhere that cmd.exe was still there.

IMHO, it'll be the same with the "good'ol" win32 api. So many applications rely on 
it, and can be easily rebuild from source with a couple of mods, I don't think MS 
will break it so sharply.
And was Vista written from scratch ? It probably relies also on some win32 api code, 
or else, I got things wrong about MS...

Anyhow, good advice, I agree !

Look at system, exec, spawn, ShellExecute, ShellExecuteEx or similar
function calls, to start another application.

By the way, M$ is trying to kill the old Win32 API. Are you really sure
that you want to learn how to use it?

Look into writing applications using a portable framework instead, such as
wxWidgets.

I am still learning C++ as well as the Dev-Cpp program. I got a little bit 
confused at the beginning and am now able to perhaps ask the right 
questions.

the first rather simple one is how would i call a second cpp program from 
the first? as in if (a=1) then open second program?

the second regarding the main.c program

hwnd = CreateWindowEx(
           0,                   /* Extended possibilites for variation */
           szClassName,         /* Classname */
           "Windows Example",         /* Title Text */
           WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, /* defaultwindow */
           CW_USEDEFAULT,       /* Windows decides the position */
           CW_USEDEFAULT,       /* where the window end up on the screen */
           544,                 /* The programs width */
           375,                 /* and height in pixels */
           HWND_DESKTOP,        /* The window is a childwindow to desktop */
           NULL,                /* No menu */
           hThisInstance,       /* Program Instance handler */
           NULL                 /* No Window Creation data */
           );

where NULL is what would i use to state that their is Window Creation data 
would this qualify as a call to a second program?

I would recommend that you ignore the built-in debugger in Dev-C++. Go for
an external graphical front-end to gdb (for example Insight). That is what
I do.

I teach using Dev-C++ and had problems getting the debugger to include
debugging code.&nbsp; Here's the recipe I tell my students to use.<br>
Do the following one time only.
<ol>
  <li>Start up Dev-C++.</li>
  <li>Change the linker setting <em>Generate debugging information </em>to
the value <em>no</em>. To do this select the <em>Tools/Compiler
Options</em> menu, then the <em>Linker</em> option on the <em>Settings</em>
tab. Select <em>Generate debugging information</em> and change to no
if it is set to yes.</li>
  <li>Close Dev-C++.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now everytime you start Dev-C++, that linker mode will be off. It
seems that this must changed from <em>no</em> to <em>yes</em> when
you want to debug. This is done following the steps below for each
program you want to debug. </p>
<p>When you are ready to debug a program you have been working on do
the following.</p>
<ol>
  <li>Change <em>Generate debugging information</em> to <em>yes </em>using
the <em>Tools/Compiler Options </em>menu.</li>
  <li>Set a break point at the beginning of your program.</li>
  <li>Click on the debug tab at the bottom and then click the debug
button on this tab. </li>
  <li>You will get a message saying there is no debug information in
the file, and do you want to generate it:. Answer yes. This will close
the tabs at the bottom. </li>
  <li>Again click on the debug tab and debug button and you should get
a console window up and can now continue stepping through your program.
At this point you can also add <em>watch</em> variables. This will
allow you to see how your variables are changing as you step through
your program.</li>
</ol>

The constant is defined in winbase.h.
winbase.h is also included from windows.h

When in trouble - always do a grep in the include directories.

This is a very fundamental equation...
  I put 2 'float's in my program and multiplied them...
  I then used basic 'cout' to print out the decimals...
  The program internally rounded all 3 outputs to basically integers...
  It did not print the number to the right of the decimal...
  I thought I could use setprecision() to see number of decimals to right of decimals...
  but that did not work...
  ...so, why does dev4cpp do this...?... and...
  how do I make simple corrections for printing of decimals from floats...?
     Thks, ken

Hey everyone,

I am trying to compile a program that uses Direct input 8, and I believe that I have done everything correctly, but the linker will not include dinput8.lib for some reason. I am using the Microsoft Direct X October SDK release from 2006, so there should be no problem what so ever. It is finding the file, that's for sure, but it is giving me a strange error that I can't for the life of me figure out how to solve. The log is below.

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\C++ tests\Direct input\Makefile.win"

I simply can't make any sense out of it. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am not able to debug my code ie Not able to set the debugger ON

I have looked into the FAQ list about the similar question and help
manual, I followed the same steps but it's not working.

Steps I have followed,
1.	set break points in code and added even watch also
2.	compiled and run the program-F9
3.	click -&gt;debug- it asks that your project does not have debug
information whether to enable or not
click:::::: yes
4.	click -&gt; debug again
or
      	click -&gt; run time cursor

The program is working fine.
Where is the problem? I have varied some of the steps with little
luck. Should I follow some extra steps?
Please help me in setting my debugger. If you can give me step by step
information, it will be of great help.

Raghavendra

Hey folks,

I've been feeling for a while that my executables have been much larger than they need to be, so I tried to make a very simple console application in C++ using iostream and nothing more. This code generates an executable that is over 400 kb!

---Code begin---
#include &lt;iostream&gt;

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int year;
cout &lt;&lt; "How old are you?\n";
cin &gt;&gt; year;
cout &lt;&lt; "Okay, you are " &lt;&lt; year &lt;&lt;" years old.\n";
fflush(stdin);
getchar();
}
---Code end---

This, I should imagine, would be something like 20 kb. I looked in the FAQ of course, and it said that I should make sure that I don't have debugging enabled. It does not look like it is, and I just can't figure out why the files are so huge. iostream, that's really small. Can anyone help? I have not modified any settings in compiler options at all.

Regards
Philip Bennefall

If I just copy your code to test_size.cpp and then do:
  g++ test_size.cpp
on your source, I get a binary that is 475kB.

If I strip the binary, it will shrink to 266kB.

This with MinGW gcc 3.4.2.

Alas, the c++ library is quite aggresive at adding stuff to hello-world
applications. The good part is of course that when you do add real code to
the project, a large part of the RTL is already included, so the binary
will not continue to grow at the same high speed.

When you strip the executable, what is actually removed? Should all release
versions of executables be stripped? I mean, the information that is removed
from the binary, is that only good for debugging purposes?

If I just copy your code to test_size.cpp and then do:
  g++ test_size.cpp
on your source, I get a binary that is 475kB.

If I strip the binary, it will shrink to 266kB.

This with MinGW gcc 3.4.2.

Alas, the c++ library is quite aggresive at adding stuff to hello-world
applications. The good part is of course that when you do add real code to
the project, a large part of the RTL is already included, so the binary
will not continue to grow at the same high speed.

Hey folks,

I've been feeling for a while that my executables have been much larger =
than they need to be, so I tried to make a very simple console =
application in C++ using iostream and nothing more. This code generates =
an executable that is over 400 kb!

---Code begin---
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int year;
cout << "How old are you?\n";
cin >> year;
cout << "Okay, you are " << year <<" years old.\n";
fflush(stdin);
getchar();
}
---Code end---

This, I should imagine, would be something like 20 kb. I looked in the =
FAQ of course, and it said that I should make sure that I don't have =
debugging enabled. It does not look like it is, and I just can't figure =
out why the files are so huge. iostream, that's really small. Can anyone =
help? I have not modified any settings in compiler options at all.

hello to all you.

Hello,
I am not able to debug my code ie Not able to set the debugger ON

I have looked into the FAQ list about the similar question and help
manual, I followed the same steps but it's not working.

Steps I have followed,
1.	set break points in code and added even watch also
2.	compiled and run the program-F9
3.	click ->debug- it asks that your project does not have debug
information whether to enable or not
click:::::: yes
4.	click -> debug again
or
      	click -> run time cursor

The program is working fine.
Where is the problem? I have varied some of the steps with little
luck. Should I follow some extra steps?
Please help me in setting my debugger. If you can give me step by step
information, it will be of great help.

Hey everyone,

I am trying to compile a program that uses Direct input 8, and I believe =
that I have done everything correctly, but the linker will not include =
dinput8.lib for some reason. I am using the Microsoft Direct X October =
SDK release from 2006, so there should be no problem what so ever. It is =
finding the file, that's for sure, but it is giving me a strange error =
that I can't for the life of me figure out how to solve. The log is =
below.

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\C++ tests\Direct input\Makefile.win"
Finding dependencies for file: C:\C++ tests\Direct input\Direct =

I simply can't make any sense out of it. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

This is a very fundamental equation...
  I put 2 'float's in my program and multiplied them...
  I then used basic 'cout' to print out the decimals...
  The program internally rounded all 3 outputs to basically integers...
  It did not print the number to the right of the decimal...
  I thought I could use setprecision() to see number of decimals to right of decimals...
  but that did not work...
  ...so, why does dev4cpp do this...?... and...
  how do I make simple corrections for printing of decimals from floats...?
     Thks, ken

I am trying to run a program but I keep getting an error message.  The message is STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE undeclared.  The line of code that I have in my program is 
   HANDLE hcon = Get Std Handle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
I am using Dev C++ version 4.9.8.0 can someone tell me if this version supports hcon?
