I had sent this before but I never saw it arriving. So I resend:


Sorry for bothering you with this, but I think you may find it useful.

[Dev-C++] Someone ever used BerkeleyDB with Dev-Cpp?

[Oliver S. <o.s...@ci...>]

Hi there!

Someone of you ever built and used the BerkeleyDB with Dev-Cpp?
I know that there is a MySQL pack, but I prefer using the BerkDB.

=B4til then...

In any case the rule is, never reinvent existing things.

[David M. <dem...@uw...>]

It really depends what you're trying to do.  For example, Bioware used C
for their module toolset in Neverwinter Nights.  They just hid a lot of the
grunt work from you with structs and typedefs and encompassing functions.
Example, a "vector" is this:

typedef struct vector {
	float x;
	float y;
	float z;
};

And they have functions that convert locations to vectors, vectors to
locations and other things like that.

If the existing programming languages cover your needs, then use one of
them.

[Dev-C++] compiler problem..plz help

Re: [Dev-C++] (OT) Which one to choose?

[Ricardo R. <ri...@po...>]

I unknow how difficult is your objective and the glory or money
you hope to reach for your work, but at a first sight,
a man of the street would answer your question as following:

(1) if you want to reinvent the wheel --> take option 1.

(2) if you want to climb some mountain of Himalaya --> take option 3.

(3) if you are a practical man --> take option 2.


good luck and successful programming,
Ricardo.

[Dev-C++] (OT) Which one to choose?

[iad929 <ia...@jo...>]

I am going to develop a large-scale application. This application is a game
authoring tools that differs completely from all other similar packages.

You know such a tool requires a sophisticated programming language. There're
three options:
1. To create a new language.
2. To use an existing language and add functions and classes to support the
tool features.
3. To consider an existing langugae as a base and modify it to suit the
needs of such a tool.

If you were me, which one you choose?

[Dev-C++] How to find the reason of linker errors???

while I try to compile all:

In parallel I compiled the same projekt with version 4.9.7.0 and get no
errors.
The directory settings for the compiler and the linker in both Dev-Cpp
versions are equal.

What had been changed in the new version and what can I do to locate
the problem?

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks in advance

Hello Dario, 
here (GNU/Linux Debian) your code compiles fine once "c++" (or "g++") 
is used in place of "gcc". Also try "man gcc" (or, better yet, "info gcc") 
to learn about other options available with the compiler.

Re: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0

[David M. <dem...@uw...>]

Hmm, a found two bugs in the new version:

1) Multi-line commenting (CTR+ALT+.) doesn't always work.  I tried it out
on a four line block of code and the first line refused to uncomment.  The
others all worked though.

2) I still have the same issue with the class browser from 4.9.7.0.  I
tried opening up the Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 source (intended for MSVC)
and the browser went haywire.  For projects where there are literally
upwards of several hundred, maybe over one thousand entries of functions,
variables and structs, all the bolded names mash together and slow the
browser down to a crawl.  The result is unreadable unless you turn off
colors, in which case it works fine.

Otherwise, fine job.  I would have sent these by vRoach except I don't have
access to internet on that computer.

[Dev-C++] still lost trying to use 4.9.7x or 8.

[Roberto R. <rob...@ar...>]

Hi all, still lost trying to use 4.9.7x or 8.

Program skeleton Im use

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <windows.h>
/*#include <cstdlib>*/
/*#include <iostream>*/
#include <myheaders.h>

/*using namespace std;*/

scanf,  fgets, fopen, fclose, fflush, printf ,fprintf, getch, lot of 
logic ... functions ...

mean ... no cout cin cerr ... streams, etc.
mean (almost I think) some standard c about 5000 code lines.
All of this was comfortable with devcpp 4.9.x.x and gcc 2.9xx (build in 
from bloodshed)

So, Im trying to use new devcpp 4.9.7x or 4.9.8.0 and gcc 3.x (build in 
from bloodshed)
with the same source program, without changes.

Need I use #include <cstdlib> or #include <iostream> namespace ... and 
so on with gcc 3.x ?

When I compiling the above source... (without iostream & cstdlib) linker 
tell me:
Compilador: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\c\Makefile.win"
Ejecutando  make clean
rm -f myprog.o  myprog.exe
gcc.exe -c myprog.C -o myprog.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"  
-I"C:/Dev-Cpp/c"  -I"c:/Dev-cpp/include/c++"  
-I"c:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/mingw32"  
-I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/mingw32/bits" 
myprog.C: In function `int main()':
myprog.C:3161: warning: assignment to `int' from `float' (old friend 
from 4.9.6.x too, nicely)
gcc.exe myprog.o  -o "myprog.exe" -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib"
myprog.o(.eh_frame+0x11):myprog.C: undefined reference to 
`__gxx_personality_v0'
make.exe: *** [myprog.exe] Error 1
Ejecución Terminada

So I remember Ioannis told me some about ... and change <stdlib.h> with 
<cstdlib>
still the same ...
not show more errors, just that. Any ideas ? Im still lost trying to use 
4.9.7x or 8.

Thanks in advance

Roberto

[Dev-C++] linker error undefined reference

[Peter S. <dy...@ya...>]

Hi
I am trying to create a dll that can be accesssed by
vb. This is just a sample, but if it succeeds, I will
write a real one.
the cpp file is:
#include "Sample.h"
int _stdcall sum(int a, int b)
  {
   int result;
   result = a + b;
   return result;
  }

The h file is:
int _stdcall sum(int a, int b);

The def file is:
LIBRARY  Sample.dll
EXPORTS
sum

When I compile I get the error message:
[linker error] undefined reference to 'sum'

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Peter Stern

[Dev-C++] re: that newbie's problem

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

you need to set the path to your include directory. The compiler is 
complaining that it cannot find the file iostream.h

If you cannot get the path sorted, copy the file iostream.h to your local 
directory (with your project) and use #include "iostream.h"

[Dev-C++] C++ Algorithm

[Graeme F. <gr...@dr...>]

It depends a lot on the algorithms that you will be studying:

Scott Robert Ladd has a good book C++ Components & Algorithms covers String
Class, Array Sorting, Statistics Hash tables, and Trees The version I have
is from 94 so it will have been updated. Easy read.

The Sedgewick book previously mentioned is good, a more thorough
(mathematical analysis) of algorithms

Hallo Dario Greco.

This code is C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "hello world";
return 0;
}

To compile when create a new project choose C++, not C as language.
This is may be the problem.

[Dev-C++] newbie problems

[Dario G. <gr...@bi...>]

hi to all.
i'm a newbie of c++.
i ve installed dev-c on a win 2000 pro system.
i wrote a simple program as "hello world" as this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "hello world";
return 0;
}

but when i compile this program, dev-c gives me 2 errors:
1) iostream is no such file or directory;
2) cout undeclared in first use.

i've tried to use the old standard:

#include <iostream.h>
...etc...

but the result is the same.

which is the problem?
the same response is gived using gcc under linux red hat 7.3.
thankyou for help.

Re: [Dev-C++] VSTi development in DEV-C++

[Colin L. <ha...@bl...>]

Hi Gabriel,

I've done some VST programming with Dev-C++, and was successfull after some 
tweaks to compile a VST effect. The most problems I had was with #pragma's 
(which i simply removed) and with the fact the main() function needs to 
return a AEffect *.
Attached with this email you will find a project file with a main file that 
creates a ACutter effect.

Hope this helps,
Colin
