Antw: [Dev-C++] Help files

[Frank W. <F.W...@wi...>]

Hello,

as far as I know there is only a help for the last stable version of
DevC++ available.
I can imagine that a updated help for DevC++ will come when there will
be a new stabel version . In fact the old helpfile might not satisfy all
questions because there are a lot of new features in the new version.
But I will think a lot of problems can be fixed in these list.

Greetings

Frank

Just downloaded DevC++ and installed.
  Compiled program using Mingw.

  Wanted to learn what some of the various options are and hit Help...

    Cannot find the C:\Dev-Cpp\Help\devcpp.hlp Help file.

Hmm! No Help directory.
No mention of this on web site or archives (that I have found).

I am missing it?

Hello,

First ake sure it is enabled with class browser in Editor Options.
Then it will jump itself when you type . or ->, otherwise press Ctrl+Space 
when you want it.

Hmm those are debug messages, but are only on the CVS version (which i'm 
gonna upload again to remove those)

Greetings,
Colin

Re: Subject: Install? Re: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

Yeah, and then save back from it to it. Or could work set mingw dirs as
read only.
I upgraded to 4.9.6.0 yesterday, vUpdate worked, it showed all buttons,
but after some seconds (something like 15 secs), what it takes long from
start connection to take all the information from the server about
announcements and packages. However, I prefered stop it and make an
ordinary download with browser.

RE: Install? Re: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0

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

I had the same problem. In 4.9.5.0, nothing happened when I pressed the
update button. However, since I had my mingw separately installed, i just
removed the 4.9.5.0 and installed the new 4.9.6.0. The good part is that
in the new version, the update button works. I managed to download and
install a new version of the update program :-)

I don't know if the problem was because I was behind a firewall, or if it
had something to do with running Windows XP.

Another funny thing when I updates whas that since 4.9.6.0 moved the
configuration files to a new location under NT/Win2K/WinXP, my previous
configurations didn't work. When I opened the /Tools/Editor Options
alternative and made a change to a parameter and appliced, I suddenly lost
all syntax highlighing. Seems that somehow all colors got reset to white
on black - however some became black on black :-)

The class browser code seems stable now, but it is still much to slow to
be useful - at least for larger projects using wxWindows. It regularly
freezes for a couple of seconds whenever I save a file or walk around with
class browser active.

Dear Eric,

Thank you for trying to help but I get as far as clicking the Help | About
Dev-C++ | Check for updates button -- and that's it. I am connected to the
internet but nothing happens even with repeated tries.  There is no "option
button" to click to my heart's content, no "start" to click, and what "Top
middle space" might be I have no clue.

Do you suppose I'm missing some necessary component?  Do you think I should
just uninstall everything and download the new, complete 4.9.6.0 package?

In any case, many thanks for your effort to help me.

Subject: Install? Re: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0


I'm a happy first-time user of version 4.9.5.0 and I would like to upgrade
to this new release, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I downloaded the "devcpp4960exe.exe" 1,717KB version, which I assume is all
I need, having the previous version.

When I open the file it warns me not to install over a previous installation
so I look for it in Add/Remove Programs and when I see its not there I find
the uninstall.exe file in the main Dev-C++ directory.  I open that one and
it warns me that it will delete the entire Dev-C++ directory.  But this
directory contains mingw32 and other things I assume I did not get with the
1,717KB download, so I abort that one and now I don't know how to proceed.

What's the proper procedure?

Look up CreateThread(), it's used for multi-threading. You would create a
separate thread for every connection. I haven't tried WinSock with multiple
threads, but you shouldn't have any problems.

[Dev-C++] bug related to makefile.win and "fast dependency generation"

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Hello Colin,

Probably I've found a bug in Dev-C++ 4.9.5.0.

I'm not sure, maybe I'm just missing something so allow me illustrate my 
point using a simple example.

Among the compiler options one is allowed to set, there is one related to 
how dependencies are generated within a makefile.

What I'm talking about is the option you find as follows:
menu    : "Tools"->"Compiler Options"
tab     : "Code Generation/Optimization"
section : "Makefile generation"
box     : "Use fast but imperfect dependency generation"

Say that one has the following 3 unit program (all files are in the same 
directory)

hello.c
--------
#include <stdio.h>
#include "newline.h"

int
main()
{
   printf("Hello world!");
   newline(); /* print a newline */

   return 0;
}
--------



newline.h
---------
void
newline(void);
---------


newline.c
---------
#include <stdio.h>
#include "newline.h"

void
newline(void)
{
   putchar('\n');
}
---------

And that the executable file has to be made using Dev-C++.

I would do the following:
- create a console application project which includes the 3 units
- ask Dev-C++ to compile the project

Dev-C++ deals with compilation of projects, by makefiles. Inside these one 
finds rules telling when object files have to be remade.

Consider the case of the object file related to hello.c (generally, this 
file is named hello.o). According to my limited experience, the rule for 
that file ought to be:

file hello.o has to be remade when its time stamp is older than the one of 
file hello.c or the one of file newline.h

Now, choosing to use the "fast but imperfect dependency generation", should 
turn the above rule into the following:

file hello.o has to be remade when its time stamp is older than the one of 
file hello.c


At this point I:
- made sure that "use fast but imperfect dependency ..." was *checked*
- put the 3 files in a project (note that I even added newline.h)
- asked Dev-C++ to compile the project


Examining file makefile.win I found that:

   hello.o depends only on hello.c

That is ok, since I was using "fast dependencies"


Next I:
- placed the 3 files in a new directory (so no old makefile.win was around)
- made sure that "use fast but imperfect dependency ..." was *not checked*
- put the 3 files in a new project (so different name, different directory ...)
- asked Dev-C++ to compile the project

Examining file makefile.win I found that:

   hello.o depends only on hello.c

According to me this is *not ok* :)

During the building, I did see in the "compile log" window messages about 
gcc looking for dependencies of source files, so actually the command "gcc 
-MM hello.c" was executed, but it seems that the output of these 
preprocessing commands is ignored by the makefile generating process.

If I did something wrong, please tell me, if you too think it is a bug, let 
me know.

Regards

Hello Santiago,

It looks to me that your problem is the following.

You have a program whose code is in the files (allow me not to use 
uppercase in filenames, my Win98SE being case insensitive):
- myclass.h      = class interface
- myclass.c      = class implementation
- usingclasses.c = client

and wish to make the executable file usingclasses.exe.

A solution could be using the command line (I have MinGW gcc 3.2):
c++ usingclasses.c myclass.c -o usingclasses.exe

I find the above feasible if a very small amount of files, all placed in 
one directory, is involved. When one has many files, typing all the names 
may become tedious and error prone. So here is where one uses a Dev-C++ 
"project". I'll give instructions to create a simple console application 
project (with Dev-C++ 4.9.5.0), assuming you have already edited the 3 unit 
files.
-1- start Dev-C++
-2- File->New->Project: choose console application and give it a name (say 
"mytest")
-3- Project->Remove from Project: select "main.cpp" and click on "OK". You 
do not need the default "main.cpp" file
     since you already have your "main" function in usingclasses.c
-4- Project->Add to Project: select the file usingclasses.c and click on 
"open", do the same for myclass.c. There
     is no point in adding the header file myclass.h to the project (other 
than willing to quickly open it by
     clicking on its name in the project window)
-5- Execute->Compile: after compiling is over (and there is no error) you 
should see "mytest.exe".

As you see adding many files to a project is easy if they are all placed in 
the same directory, looking for a not so small amount of files, chasing 
them in many directories is something I tend to avoid. Since I personally 
keep my source files in many directories, I don't use Dev-C++ projects that 
much, rather I use an approach which many term "obsolete" (I prefer to call 
it "traidtional" :).
Here is what I do:
- write a makefile (a bit different from the one Dev-C++ generates), for 
this I use a "home-made" makefile
   generator
- use the command line to compile the file; of course having the makefile 
this is as easy as typing: "make".

I attempted to write the makefile generator as portable as I could and 
generally use it on my Linux box (together with GNU tools) I've also used 
it on Windows with both GNU tools and Borland tools. Some small changes to 
the code were required, to cope with differen "make" syntax. I would be 
pleased if you could spend a little of your time trying it on the Solaris 
machine at your disposal and let me knowing if it works.
In case you are interested I'll send you the code.

[Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0

[Colin L. <col...@wa...>]

Hello !

We are happy to announce the release of version 4.9.6.0.
Here is the detailed description of what has been added/modified since 
version 4.9.5.0 :

* New option in Editor Options (code-completion): Use code-completion cache. 
Well, it adds caching to code-completion. Depending on the cache size,  the 
program may take a bit longer to start-up, but provides very fast 
code-completion and the user has all the commands (belonging to the files  he 
added in the cache) at his fingertips. If, for example, the user adds 
"windows.h", he gets all the WinAPI! If he adds "wx/wx.h", he gets all of  
wxWindows! You get the picture...
* New option "Execution/Parameters" (and "Debug/Parameters").  
* Added "Tip of the day" system. 
* Under NT, 2000 and XP, user application data directory will be used to 
store config files (i.e : C:\Documents and Settings\Username\LocalS 
ettings\Application Data) 
* New option in Editor Options: Show editor hints. User can disable the hints 
displayed in the editor when the mouse moves over a word. Since this was the 
cause of many errors (although it should be fixed by now), we are giving the 
user the option to disable this feature. 
* Removed "Only show classes from current file" option in class browser 
settings. It used to be a checkbox, allowing only two states (on or off), but 
there is  a third relevant option now: "Project classes" so it didn't fit the 
purpose... The user can define this in the class browser's context menu under 
"View mode". 
* Fixed the dreaded "Clock skew detected" compiler warning! 
* Fixed many class browser bugs, including some that had to do with class 
folders. 
* Added ExceptionsAnalyzer. If the devcpp.map file is in the devcpp.exe 
directory then we even get a stack trace in the bug report! 
* Added new option in class-browser: Use colors (available when 
right-clicking the class-browser and selecting "View mode"). 
* Implemented the "File/Export/Project to HTML" function. 
* When running a source file in explorer, don't spawn new instance. 
  Instead open the file in an already launched Dev-C++. 
* Class-parser speed-up (50% to 85% improvement timed!!!) 
* Many code-completion updates. Now takes into account context, 
  class inheritance and visibility (shows items only from files 
  #included directly or indirectly)! 
* Other small bug fixes

Please send bug reports to http://bloodshed.net/bugs :)

Greetings !
Colin Laplace

Nice to tell me about this Zodiaq, but you know, you are talking to a french man here. And like 
almost all of frenchies, we don't have access to fast internet, just 56k.

A *real pain* to download 340 Mb with a 4kb/s max down bandwidth...

And we can't afford for a good price an illimited internet connection...

So sad, I wish I could live in Belgium, just 4 miles away ! Fast Internet evrywhere !

Very sorry

From my last post, I now why I ended up making that post,
ANSWER: I was too impatient.

I tried again, but this time I went and had a shower, when I came back it
had done more than I had ever seen before.


however, does anybody have a "devcpp.hlp" file? I could receive.
