[Jorge A. <jor...@ep...>]

In w98 doesn't works (almost i tried clean installs of **w98**). The
debugger works fine in wxp for me. Could be this?

[Dev-C++] Direct Input Linking trouble

[<val...@ya...>]

Hi, I'm trying to compile a small Direct Input application with Dev-c++
4.9.8.0 and get 

[Warning] In function `ZN2UIC2EP6HWND__':
[Linker error] undefined reference to `IID_IDirectInput8A'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `DirectInput8Create@20'

My linker parameters are
-lopengl32 -lglu32 -ldxguid -ldxerr9 -ldinput8 -ldinput

I'm including dinput.h in the relevant file, and declare the direcX structures
like this

LPDIRECTINPUT      DI; 
LPDIRECTINPUTDEVICE Keyboard;

This is how the object is created:

DirectInput8Create( GetModuleHandle(NULL), DIRECTINPUT_VERSION, 
                         IID_IDirectInput8, (VOID**)&this->DI, NULL );


I've tried googling and browsing the sourceforge dev-c++ forums and the FAQ,
and haven't come up with much except some description about incompatible
library formats between visual C and gcc, and I didn't know if that was
relevant.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, 
Justin.

The thing that trips most people up when they install Dev-C++ is that 
they install it into a directory structure where the names contain 
spaces.  This is bad.  Another thing that trips people up is that 
they start compiling code in directories where the names have spaces. 
 This is also bad.

So... where did you install the program?  Can you include the compile 
log in your next message?  (NOTE:  this is not the error log that 
shows up under the Compile tab; this is the full compile log that 
shows up under the Compile Log tab.)

HTH.

Do a search for gcc and set that location in your Dev-C++

[Dev-C++] SOLVED-Newbie problem including files correctly

[Dane E. <DE...@pa...>]

Hi Everyone,
=20
THANK YOU very much for your help solving my include problems. After
straightening out the correct way
to include .h and .cpp files I kept getting errors about use a string
type before defining it. M. Ozor helped
me solve this new problem by using this order of includes:

Employee.h - class declaration
 no includes
=20
Employee.cpp - class implementation
 #include <string>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 using namespace std;
=20
main.cpp
 #include <string>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 using namespace std;

You need to supply more information.  Can you show your compile log?  
Maybe a short example program that won't go into debug?

I need help with this program. It is sort of like a dos-prompt thing. When

Re: [Dev-C++] Newbie problem including files correctly

[Ewald H. <in...@ho...>]

Hi Dane,

yup, it's pretty confusing in the beginning, I know! But don't worry, you
will soon get the hang of include files.

Try the following setup and see if it solves your problem:

Employee.h file
  #include <iostream.h>
Employee.cpp file
  #include "Employee.h"
Main.cpp file
  #include <iostream>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include "Employee.h"

You see, by including the *.h file in the main cpp file, you automatically
include the *.cpp file as it contains the actual code and not just the
definitions, classes and prototypes.

Good luck!

Re: [Dev-C++] Newbie problem including files correctly

[<wa...@wa...>]

1.  You shouldn't be including a .cpp file in the main.cpp file, you 
should be including the .h file.

2.  Are those two variables IN the class?  Or are they globals?  If 
they're part of the class structure, you just need to instantiate an 
employee.  If they're globals, then you're going to have to extern 
them into the main.cpp file but that's an unclean way to go about 
things.

3.  I believe it's common practice to put standard include files 
prior to the include files you've created.

HTH.

[Dev-C++] Newbie problem including files correctly

[Dane E. <DE...@pa...>]

Hi,

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I have three files:
1. Employee.h - Class declarations only
2. Employee.cpp - class functions only , includes constructor.
3. main.cpp - main file.

My Employee.h file declares 2 variables that are string types. My
Employee.cpp's constructor sets them to
A default value. I cant figure out the correct location of the include
statements. Their placement looks incorrect to me and after trying many
different combinations I still can't fix it. Here is what I have
Right now:

Employee.h file
  None.
Employee.cpp file
  #include "Employee.h"
  #include <iostream>
Main.cpp file
  #include <iostream>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include "Employee.cpp"

Try running these commands in a DOS prompt:
cd c:
cd d:
cd a:

You'll soon realize that none of these are directories; you need a "\" 
at the end of them if you want to go to the root dir.

It's the way MS-DOS prompt behaves (at least on Win9x, dunno about the 
command prompt on Win2k/XP); it shows the last command executed, not the 
command running. If you run it in another shell (like MSYS/rxvt) it 
shows the current dir in the title bar. So, MS-DOS prompt users should 
be familliar with its "behavior".

[Dev-C++] solution for "no layout file" !!!

[<A_B...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have solved the problem with the layout file, I asked some time ago !!!  :)
(but it's just a necessity solution - I still belive it's a bug or missing option in Dev-C++, even 
with V4.9.8.9)

If I create a file, named "projekt name.layout", into the folder where "projekt name.dev" is 
located, it will be used to store the cursor positions in each opened projects file !!!
If I don't create this layout file nothing will be stored...

Well, it works fine for me - even I have to do it by hand...
But I think there should be an option to enable this function...

cu, Acki
