I have Dev-C++ version 4, and I want to move on to the last beta version, but I have a question: do you think that the Allegro package available at Bloodshed would work fine with this new version? (Because of the change in mingw version)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As a new user, I decided to stick with the newest compiler - i.e. 4.9.7.3/gcc3.2.
So far I've tried compiling 8 of the supplied allegro examples without any errors.
Also I've tried downloading the newest allegro beta,
started a command-prompt,
issued the commands
MINGDIR=C:\dev-cpp
PATH=C:\dev-cpp\bin;%path%
cd <WhatWasTheNameOfTheDirectoryIUnpackedTheNewAllegroIn>
fix.bat mingw32
make
This took some time, but the library compiled without any problems whatsoever. No need to separately download mingw or anything else.
Maybe because I've downloaded the devpak containing miscellaneous tools.
My advice would be to try it - but be ready to revert to the old version.

Doubt it...

very much doubt it. Stay with gcc 2.95 for now...
