My wife tried copying code (copy/paste) from visual C++ express 2010 (free
from MS) into Dev-C++ Version 5 (latest February build) This is on a standard
U.S. Windows 7 Home Premium machine.
It also gave various errors about "###" control characters being embedded in
the code. If we delete those lines and hand retype those lines,we get compile-
linker errors.
The compiler gave the following message after we did the cut paste
Removing cyclical dependencies myTestCode.o <- myTestCode.cpp
This is not a cyclical dependency as there is only one file that refers to
iostream iomanip and stdclib. That's it. So I imagine it's a code page
translation issue. I could resave the Visual C++ express file in another code
page, but I need to know which one the Dev-C++ is compatible with
We saved the file, closed, and reopened it, and the file was garbage. Luckily
we still have it in VC++ Express. But this is useless for her homework
assignments due this week.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

To clarify:
We first deleted the lines that gave the control character errors and hand
retyped them.
Then we got the cyclical dependency errors from the compiler.
Neither solved the problem. Trying to open the VC++ Express 2010 file in
Dev-C++ did not solve the problem either.
