Ive heard from a developer that he was having problems to make his source code (made with vc++) be compilable using DEV-CPP cause mingw doesnt support some windows controls stuff.
Is it really true?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
He probably used MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) for the controls, instead of plain old Win32 API. MFC is proprietary (as far as I know), so it's not available for Dev-C++/Mingw. I think.

There's no MFC form Dev-C++ but there is wxWindows :) which is free. Many people say that porting MFC to wxWindows isn't that hard and it's worth of time that you spend on rewriting the code. Ever tryed compiling MFC on Linux ? Go to http://www.wxwindows.org and you'll see what I mean ;)

My guess as well.

Moral of the story: Visual Crap and standards (Dev) don't mix.
