1) I'm using Dev-C++ Version 4.9.9.2 on Vista and i'm new to using any sort of C/C++ editing/compiling programs so please bear with me.
I have done both:
1)add "C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2" to the binaries location under the directories tab
2)go to the programs tab and add c:\dev-cpp\bin\ to all the listings.
I am asked whenever I open Dev after applying these changes over and over:
"Dev-C++ was unable to find GNU Make with current setings however there's mingw32-make that seems to be GNU Make. Would you like Dev-C++ to adjust the settings for you to use mingw32-make?
Unless you know exactly what you're doing, it is recommended that you click Yes"
...... So I click Yes just to be on the safe side.
But after that, even trying to compile a simple script I come across problems.
include<iostream>
include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
cout << "This is what that putz Wayne said to do!\n";
system("pause");
return 0;
}
I go to Compile and Run and save it as Test.c ... And nothing happens.
As you can (embarassingly) see, I have not saved my projects in the same folder as where DevC was installed. But does anyone have a clue what might be the problem here? I've just about turned this forum upside down trying to find an answer.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Out of pure luck I decided to further add the file names at the end of the C:\Dev-Cpp\ listings. This did the trick. The Vista fix post needs to be more clear of what to do IMO.

I am sorry but that just seems obvious to anyone who understands how a computer works, and I would think it was a fair assumption that anyone trying to program one should know that! It is a matter of thinking about what you are doing rather then blindly following what you think you are being fold.
The point is, it clearly says "add" not "replace". Perhaps it should say "prefix", but the instructions were written by someone who suceeded in getting it to work and volunteered the information. They are what they are.

No one here "works here", the information that get passed on gets passed
on by those users who take the time to do so. That was how the section
on working with Vista got written, someone cared enough to pass on what
they had learned.
If you have suggestions for improving on what they wrote, feel free to
post them.

Fixed.

(1) What version of the installer did you download? You can download a version that only includes the IDE.
(2) Have your read the directions in the thread titled "Please Read Before Posting a Question" on dealing with issues that Vista causes.

Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) (9.0 MB) with Mingw/GCC 3.4.2
That is the version I need/downloaded.
Yes, the only Vista fixes I had found were the ones stated in my post, the redirecting to specific folders.
