I uninstalled version 4 and did a clean install of Dev-C++ 4.9.5.0

I tried compiling a program which I had previously compiled with version 4.

The Beta 5 version did not recognize the functions in dirent.h.

I had the following errors:
link error undefined reference (opendir)
link error undefined reference (readdir)

Next I completely uninstalled the Beta 5 version and did a clean install of the previous version 4 and everthing works fine.

How can I use Beta 5 version with the functions in dirent.h?

  I think Mingw version used in 4.9.5.0 is slightly diffrerent from the old one. Try to add: -lmingwex to project_options->linker_options.

  Martin you are beautiful. Now how else could I have found out that opendir, closedir etc. were in mingwex?
  
  I'm been pulling out what little hair I have left for the past 3 hours trying to figure this thing out. I posted to the group, but no response.
  
  Thanks.
