Devcpp 4.9.8.0 compiles but 4.9.9.2 does not

[KWOOD]

Hi

I have a very large C win32 project. it is over 200,000 lines. I have been using this SW with no problems but now i need to make a small change but it does not compile on version 4992 but it does work on

Devcpp 4.9.8.0 compiles but 4.9.9.2 does not. I really need to make this change ASAP.

Is their a compatibility problem that i do not know of?
Where Can i down load the older version from to temporarily get things going again?

Kind regards

Kev

Who could possibly tell!!!

When a build error occurs, the tool helpfully outputs a log to enable you to analyse the fault. Unfortunately you have not given us that benefit.

If you have upgraded from 4.9.8.0 to 4.9.9.2 without following the instructions in the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION" thread this will almost certainly cause problems, because the new installation will retain configuration files from the old version and they are not compatible. Follow those instructions now to reinstall 4.9.9.2.

Also if you are using a project (.dev) file from 4.9.8.0 that is also not compatible. You will either have to create a new project and add the existing source to it (safest), or modify the project settings (or the .dev file directly) to correct them (which may or may not work, but may save you some time). If you did post the log, we could tell you what needs changing.

I would not recommend reverting back to 4.9.8.0 (you may find that that no longer works because of the newer installation! You would still need to follow the instructions form the read first thread). The download tab at the top of the forum will provide access only to versions back to 4.9.9.0.

The lesson - never change development tools in the middle of a project unless you have plenty of time to fix the build problems and re-test the code. And always archive the development tool with the project.
