    Hello. I am trying to use an IBM VisualAge compiler with the Bloodshed Dev C++ IDE on Win2K OS. The compiler (icc.exe) uses different command-line flags then normal C++ compilers. For example it uses "/C+" instead of "-c" for compilation without linking. Is there a way to make the IDE use flags other than "-c" and "-o" in the makefiles it creates?

      Why do folks thing Dev is a progammers editor?  It is an IDE designed to work with GCC, not any old compiler!

        Thank you for informative response.  I think people use Dev-C++ as an editor because it may be the best value for the buck out there.  So if it was not meant to be used with other compliers than GCC, why is there an option to set up custom ones?

      The main option is to use GCC from other sources.

      From the Dev home page:

      Bloodshed Dev-C++ is a full-featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the C/C++ programming language. It uses Mingw port of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) as it's compiler  Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC based compiler.

      There are free programmers editors out there, here is a decent link:

      I know I got to like using JGrasp with the free .Net compiler....
