#211 Problem Interfacing with DJGPP

[Anonymous]

I have had very little luck using DjGPP with Dev-C++.

When I compile a source file, it freezes. Almost like it
doesn't get the exit code from the DjGPP compiler
program. I thought it might be a DOS Executable
problem, so to test that theory I have made Windows
Console Applications that act as a "Middle Man"..

when Dev-C++ sends to gcc.exe

gcc foo.c -o foo.exe

gcc.exe (being the App I Wrote) passes the command
line to DjGPP's gcc.exe, and it works, almost seamlessly.

So knowing that I created Windows Console Apps for all
other exe's called by Dev-C++, and it works.

I have no clue why my way works and it won't work
directly with DjGPP. So I figured I'd post it here. I make
lots of FreeDOS Programs from within Windows and A
GREAT IDE like Dev-C++ would be nice to be able to use
with DjGPP.

Dev-C++ was developed to be used exclusively with the
mingw compiler. No effort was made to make it compatible
with other compilers.

What I am trying to say, that probably Dev-C++ will never
work with any other compiler other than Mingw.

exactly. so this is rather feature request (along with
request for support for other compilers). so let's move this
one there.
