[Dev-C++] Problems updating MingW

[Maik H. <mai...@gm...>]

Hello DevC users,

I recently decided to update MingW to version 3.3.1. Unfortenately I didn't
succeed yet, so I beg your help and knowledge.

My DevC version resides at C:\Programme\Dev-Cpp (version 4.9.8.7). I
downloaded core, g++ and binutils from www.mingw.org and put everything of
it at C:\Programme\Dev-Cpp\MingW331. I tried my best to edit the compiler
options and folders within DevC compiler configuration, but I constantly got
errors. Example:

 Compile log:

Would someone be so kind and tell me what the problem is? Any package(s)
missing? May be you could tell me your pathnames and provide screenshots of
you DevC compiler configuration screen (only if you use MingW 3.3.1, of
course).

Thanks

Hello,

I go on with this thred because the my problem that the pathes in the
Compiler Obtions are not the same as these in the makefile.
I reinstalled Dev-Cpp and the problem is still existing.
I work under Windows 2000 with Dev-Cpp 4.9.8.0 but happened also with
the most recent version.
I attach the devcpp.cfg, the devcpp.ini, the makefile.win and a

I really hope somebody can help me because I can't compile any of my

Re: [Dev-C++] Email Quarantined

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Someone on this list has a virus - or someone have ripped all email
addresses on this list.

The guilty machine sends out these mails while specifying a forged 'from'
address taken from the list.

You are not the only one affected. The last week I have received a number
of bounces, spam warnings and virus warnings. All the time claiming that I
was the original sender. I am pretty sure that a lot of other people on
this list have seen the same phenomenon.

Since no bounce or warning have ever contained the IP of the original
sender, it is very hard to pinpoint the guilty machine. I have sent out
three requests for full header information, but not received any
answer.

No. Windows does not support fork directly. You must do some
code porting to make it work. (fork->CreateProcess I think..)

Cygwin can compile your program without modifications.
But then again, one must have cygwin1.dll in the system
in order to run that program.

Oh, and sockets need also some porting magic ;)

Re: [Dev-C++] Programming a CGI (was: (no subject))

[Tim S. <ti...@we...>]

Hi Claudio,

you wrote,

> anyway I wanted to ask you if I could make this in C++

of course you can do and its realy simple, all you need is 
a cgi-bin directory from your webhosting provider put your
programm in this dir and set it executeable. Since most internet-
provider have linux servers you need to compile it under linux,
if you don't have installed linux and dont want to you can try Knoppix,
a distribution which can be booted from CD, the URL where you can
download a image is www.knopper.net.
For programming an CGI there is a nice tutorial at 
http://www.coding-zone.co.uk/cpp/cgi/170401cgicpp.shtml

Re: [Dev-C++] hitcounter in C++ (was no subject)

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

Do you have cgi-bin access?
 if yes
   do you have shell access or know what O.S. the server runs?
   if yes
      Yes you can, look for a tutorial on cgi-bin programming.
   else
      Probably, You might want to use perl instead since you won't
have to
compile anything.
else
  Probably not, try an online service for this.

Hi Faramarz,

First in the actual C++ standard the standard headers are only written
by their name and not with a .h, so you have to do

#include <iostream>

The next point is, that all standard classes reside in the std-namespace
so you have to write std::cout or std::cin. But you can tell your
compiler to always use a specific namespace with

use namespace <yournamespace>;

Add the ..\Dev-Cpp\bin directory path to the
autoexec.bat(or its equivalent) file and restart your
system. Then you can use all the executables in the
..\Dev-Cpp\bin directory from any other folder through
the command line.

gcc -v at the command line would give the gcc version
number. There should be something similar for other
MingW executables.

never tried but I think you can update the files in
the ..\Dev-Cpp\bin directory keeping in mind the issue
of version compatibility.

(kindly suggest if there are better ways of doing
things)

Hi Eddie,

you have writte:

Of course this is possible, just Add $DEV-CPP-DIR\bin,
$DEV-CPP-DIR\include and $DEV-CPP-DIR\lib to your PATH.

Not that I know. Most GNU Programms can be called with the -v parameter
to tell you what version it is.

> Can the version of MingW/gcc be updated for a particular version of

You can just overwrite the old executeables, like gcc or g++, but beware
that some Dev-Packs might not work with a newer Version of GCC (I have
here wxWidgets in Mind).

Btw, I'm using only the pure Dev-C++ files without GNU toolchain because
I maintain my own MinGW installation.

[Dev-C++] Basics on static libs

[Michael S. <mic...@nu...>]

Hi,
=20
I=B4ve al little basic questions concerning static libs (.dll or .so).
The apps link with an import library which on runtime dynamically =
imports
the functions from the dll, don=B4t they.
The main thing I=B4d to know is that I=B4ve heard of multiple apps =
sharing the
same .dll if appropriate. So if I have global vars in the .dll code, are
they
shared among all apps linking to the .dll, or does every app have it=B4s =
own
"copy" of the data inside the .dll?
In my example I=B4ve apps linking with the wx GUI library dynamically. =
Some of
them use plugin .dlls which themselvbes link dynamically against wx.
wx has globals in it, and I=B4ve noticed that the plugins can work and =
call wx
functions without problems.
But if I had multiple wx apps running at once they would interfere with =
each
other...
Could someone explain this basics to me a bit?

thanks for your help

Re: [Dev-C++] about replies, and shellexecute()

[<gen...@ya...>]

at least, when i hit 'reply' now, Yahoo! mail gives me an empty text field. the point is not to avoid having mails. the point is that so much unecessary information gets passed around with all the replying done in here. 'this sf.net mail is...' might occur up to 5 or more times in a single mail, and that positively sucks.
 
about the shellexecute() thing, you need to know the path to the file (i almost said windows executable, but shellexecute can also open documents), or it should exist in your path, and the name of the file you want to open. shellexecute() can also run urls (i believe i once did this too).

Re: [Dev-C++] other programs through our program...

[<gen...@ya...>]

it's really easy. use ShellExecute()/ShellExecuteInfo() (defined in shellapi.h) to run programs. i think it works with registered windows programs, so it's like Start -> Run... i used it to run my favorite emulators once from a menu :D
