RE: [Dev-C++] List problems

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

Yes i had the same kind of problems. Also the list would also
unsubscribe me by its free will. :) Well be patient, and then the
problems will move to someone else down the hall. :)

Re: [Dev-C++] DevC++ and databases

[Yeoh H. <ye...@ye...>]

Hi Antonio,

This is a response to your first question. Yes, Dev-C++ can be used to
access many types of databases.

Here's a general how-to approach, direct without using ODBC, that is, using
the client's API.

1. Download the database and any client libraries (both source and binaries)
from the database's website.
For example, my latest R & D is on using SQLite, a cross-platform embeddable
SQL database.
http://www.sqlite.org

2. See if there are any DLLs (pre-compiled binaries), the required header
file or files and any .def files.
Look in the samples or test folder. Usually there are simple source that
tells you which header files are required.
Also, look in the folder which contains the header files to locate the
required header files.

3. From the provided DLL, you need to create a library file with .a
extension.
Use the dlltool.exe. This program comes with Dev-C++.
For example:
dlltool -Dsqlite.dll -dsqlite.def -llibsqlite.a

4. Once you have this .a file, the .h file and the .dll file, you're ready
to write client programs to "talk" with the database server.
You then copy this .a file into your Dev-C++'s lib directory.
Copy the .h file or files into the Dev-C++'s include directory.
Copy the .dll into the Windows system directory.

5. Create a new Dev-C++ project.
Try to find the simplest example code in the source distribution.
Study the example makefile or project file. Get an idea of which defines
and/or compiler switches are required.
Modify/add these defines to your project file.
Remove the default template code and insert the sample code. Try to compile.


Notes:
If the above .a file does not work or if there is no .def file, you'll need
to create a .def file:
This is from the MinGW FAQ:
<begin extract>
However, for __stdcall functions, the above method does not work. For MSVC
will prefix an underscore to __stdcall functions while MinGW will not. The
right way is to produce the DEF file using the pexports tool from
http://www.is.lg.ua/~paul/devel/binutils.html and filter off the first
underscore by sed:

pexports testdll.dll | sed "s/^_//" > testdll.def
Then, when using dlltool to produce the import library, add `-U' to the
command line:
dlltool -U -d testdll.def -l libtestdll.a
<end extract>

This approach I've described works for DLLs written in C, i.e. __cdecl
functions. It works for MySQL's DLL and also SQLite's DLL.

Instead of using the provided DLL, if you want to static link, you'll need
to compile the client library source. It can be simple or complicated
depending on the source. You can also try to compile a DLL using the client
library source.

For SQLite, the static lib is very simple to create. Use Dev-C++ to create a
new project for Static Library, select C Project, then insert the SQLite C
source codes. Compile and the .a file is generated. For MySQL, I've not done
it. Someday I'll try to allocate some time to do it and only if I feel brave
enough to try to debug compile time errors. :-)

There used to be pre-compiled .a libs for MySQL from Johnny Dog website but
the last time I checked the site was down.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Yeoh

The problem is i think that ms dos(and windows thou) do not accept
unix (or bash or whaterver)  construction:

command1 `command2`
which puts output of command2 as command line options for command1.

the solution can be just to paste output from pkg-config to
Project/ProjectOptions/General

and put in compiler options part concerning includes
and in linker options part concerning libs
then make a template from that (I don't know why there is no template
in GTK DevPack i consider it a bug especially pkg-config does not work
like it should and the second bug is GTK runtime wants to install
itself to dev-c++ directory and it should be dev-cpp now)
BTW: Is this the right place to send bugs ? if not where to send them
to get at least short reply like "ok we get it . we will remember
about it" ?

i changed output form pkg-config a bit not to use paths like
"c:\something\something\dev-cpp\" i used <INCLUDE> but i have no idea
how to solve this i a proper way:

compiler options:
-I<INCLUDE>/gtk-2.0 -I<INCLUDE>/../lib/gtk-2.0/include -I<INCLUDE>/atk-1.0 -I<INCLUDE>/pango-1.0 -I<INCLUDE>/glib-2.0 -I<INCLUDE>/../lib/glib-2.0/include
linker options:
-lgtk-win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -limm32 -lshell32 -lole32 -luuid -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lwsock32

Re: [Dev-C++] Compile

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

Early betas did this a lot for me. I had to kill Dev-C++, go to the task
manager and manually kill the gcc process and then restart Dev-C++ again.

I don't see it that often now. Don't know if problem is reduced with later
betas, or if it is because I have changed to WinXp.

However, I have had it once or twice with latest Dev-C++ and WinXP too.

It seems to be some timing problem in the Dev-C++ code, where the
make process starts too fast or too slow or whatever. Dev-C++ starts to
consume all available CPU - looks like it is busy-waiting for the
compiler. However, the compiler never finishes, it just hangs there until
killed.

Thanks.  Don't I feel silly--didn't think about checking the DevPacks.  I've

to good ole basic number crunching type programming so I hadn't paid much

If  you use the Tools - Check for Update/Packages, in Dev-Cpp.

Press  Start  for vUpdate to check what's new. You will now get a list
of all new modules and among them you will find help files for Dev-Cpp
and  a  Win32  API  reference.  Select  these,  and press Download. If

To Install a downloaded package you select Install ;-)
You will now be asked for a package. The downloaded Pagages are in the
Dev-Cpp\DevPaks  directory.  Select the Win32API.DevPak and Press Open
and go through the installation wizard. When the installation finishes
you will have a new submenu under Help - Win32.hlp

The  SetPriorityClass  is in winbase.h/kernel32.lib so you need to add
these to your project.

The  vUpdate  server  seems  to be down at the moment, or maybe I have
some error in my Internet connection ....

[Dev-C++] List problems

[Matthews <dem...@uw...>]

I've been having some trouble with the mailing recently.  I know of at
least four messages that I have not recieved, and I only have seen them
because someone else has replied to them (their's shows up.)  I did not
receive the Borland c++ compiler question, the "please unsubscribe"
request, zodiaq's response to this and the "free windows programming
bibliography" question.  Is this because I'm not in digest mode?  Any help?

ps. I'm also wondering if my mail is getting out.  The other times I've
sent questions, there's always been answers within a day.  I sent out my
second SDL error message about five days ago or something like that.  Just
in case:
-----
Hmm, I added all those options to my linker (-lsdl -lsdlmain -lmingw32) and
I still have the same error (Unknows reference to `WinMain@16').  I'm also
compiling as a windows app, with the "int argc, char *argv[]" that's
required, and I've included the -mwindows tag in the linker command line.

Do you have Windows NT 4?

If  so then there is a BUG in vUpdate.exe which makes it impossible to
use.  I  have  reported the bug, but I'm not sure if there has been an

[Dev-C++] Insight5_win32

[Manuel B. <ba...@un...>]

Hi,
I have got installed Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0 and Insight5 (20001125-1) for windows
98/NT.
I have a couple of troubles:
    * When I try to go to updates (Tools->Updates), inside Vupdate
application I got the message: "Error: your devcpp.cfg file is missing" but
the devcpp.cfg file is in the Dev-Cpp directory. How could I solve this
problem?

    * I am trying to debug a program, I load the project and after I select
Debugging (F8) I am sent to Insight. The first screen there is empty (it
shoud load in an automatic way the program to debugg, I think), so I have to
load manually the .exe file to debugg, but now I do not find any place to
write the parameters to the program, does anybody know how to tell the
debugger the list of parameters to the program?

Thanks a lot.

[Dev-C++] Adding GNU C Lib to DevC++

[Louis G. <lg...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I'm running DevC++ 4.9.6.0 and it works great
but after checking all the \DevC++\include\*.h files
I notice the *.h files don't contain references the GNU C lib functions
like  getline() and getdelim().

Does anyone know how I can add the GNU C lib functions to DevC++ 4.9.6.0 ?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Dev-C++] RE: Using Borland c++ compiler.

[Naveen <pn...@ze...>]

Thanks for your reply,

I agree that you can not compile MSC program in BC++ or in gcc.

I would like to say Dev c++ being good IDE for C++(Now it has
autocomplete also, in which I was expecting from long time),
also You can change the Complier to MingW or gcc.

But its task of developer to write appropreate code which compiles in
particular compiler(I am talking about only c++ compilers).

In some editors like EditPlus we can configure BC++ to compile the
project. I think its not big deal where you can have you own compiler
provided the option is given in Dev c++ IDE.


with regards
Naveen

[Dev-C++] pkg-config

[/KY <cru...@in...>]

I've got Dev-C++ 4.9.6.8 (4.9.6.0 with included gcc 2.95.3-6 + devcppexe=20
2.1042) and I'm trying to use the GTK+ DevPak.
However, when I pass to compiler options:

`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

i get

gcc.exe -c GTK-test.c -o GTK-test.o -I"C:/PRG/DEV-CPP/include"  `pkg-config=
=20
--cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -pg -s
GCC.EXE: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations

while if I run gcc from the shell (from my project folder), i get

 >gcc gtk-test.c -o gtk-test.exe 'pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0'
GCC.EXE: 'pkg-config: No such file or directory
GCC.EXE: gtk+-2.0': No such file or directory
gtk-test.c:1: gtk.h: No such file or directory

however, If I run pkg-config (from any dir) I obtain what's expected:

 >pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0
  -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/lib/gtk-2.0/include=20
-IC:/PRG/
DEV-CPP/include/atk-1.0 -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/include/pango-1.0=20
-IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/incl
ude/glib-2.0 -IC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/lib/glib-2.0/include   -LC:/PRG/DEV-CPP/lib=20
-lgtk-
win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -limm32 -lshell32 -lole32 -luuid -latk-1.0=20

=20
-lgli
b-2.0 -lintl -liconv

And in fact, in PATH I have c:\prg\dev-cpp\bin.

Where's the problem?

[Dev-C++] Controlling Process Priority

[Scott W. <se...@al...>]

Hi,

I'm building a Windows console application in C (my OS is Win2k and I have
DevCpp 4.9.6.8).  The application is computationally intensive so dominates
CPU usage when run.  By default, the program compiles to an executable with
"Normal" priority and so leads to sluggish performance while running
(typically several hours for each data set).  

I can, of course, manually set the priority to Low via the Win2K Task
Manager but a) the setting resets to normal every time I launch another
application and b) I'm lazy and would prefer to have the program run in low
priority by default.  So, I'm wondering if there's a way to compile the
program to have "Low" priority from the get-go.

I understand this could be purely an OS side-of-the-fence deal but thought
I'd ask here in case it can be controlled from within DevCpp.

Thanks.
Scott

Well,  actually I had the same problem sometimes. The compilation goes
on  awfully  slowly, or it is hanged. It think the problem is with gcc
or make. And really, soon after this my computer crashed too.

Actually this only happened a few times so far, so it is not a problem
for  me,  but  if  anyone  encountered  this,  and  knows  why is this
happening, I would be glad to hear that.

[Dev-C++] libraries and includes

[<or...@vp...>]

Hello again!

I encountered a bug, or something like that in Dev-C++.

I  have  MinGW  2.0.0-3  (gcc  3.2)  and Dev-C++ 4.9.6.8. I don't want
Dev-C++  to  link any kind of libraries to my program, so I don't need
the  -L"dir"  flag for the linker, and I don't need any include files,
so I don't need the -I"dir" flag for the compiler.

I  also  have  the gcc/bin directory in the PATH environment var, so I
wouldn't even need to specify the compiler (binaries) directory.

But  in  Dev-C++ under Tools->Compiler Options->Directories tab I need
to  specify  directories, and I cannot press OK, until I don't set the
directory for the binaries.

So  I  need  to  set  it,  but  I  removed  everything  from the other
(Libraries, C Includes, C++ Includes) tabs.
After  this  when  I  start the compilation, I get the following error
message from Dev-C++ in a message box:

 /-------------------------------------------------------\
 | Oops!                                               x |

The bug report sais:

00569F44 (00168F44):  (devcpp - 82)


So  my  question  is: how can I tell Dev-C++ not to send the -L and -I
flags to the compiler globally.

[Dev-C++] DevC++ and databases

[<ant...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I sent already this e-mail but I have an error on sending it, so if you receive again this one, please don't worry.

The question was about how DevC++ can access to the database like Access db, firebird, MySql and so on. The next question concerning the searching on this ML, hwo I can perform a search?

Thanks so much

Antonio
