Yes it works, but not as mudeth wrote it.

I made this tiny modification to his code and it runs ok for me here :

argv[1]="-output";
argv[2]="foo.bar";
for(int i=0;i<=2;i++)
    cout<<argv[i];

And of course, argv[0] is initialised with the exec name by the application 
itself.

But however, it would be nice to get a menu option to set these startup 
parameters instead of doing this not-so-clean hack.

Go to Project Options, and check the "Compile as C++" box.

Your source file must be part of a project to set this option.

As of now, Dev doesn't have support for specifying args using the IDE,
you'll have to do something like this:

int    main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    argc = 3;
    argv =
    {
        argv[0],
        "-output",
        "foo.bar"
    };
}

Do you compile in C++ mode in DevCpp ?

Anyway, can you cut and paste your error messages here, just to see what's 
really happening ?

"It doesn't work, I've got plenty of error messages" just doesn't help us too 
much to understand what's going wrong...

Re: [Dev-C++] [win 2000 , DevCpp Beta 5] Missing resource editor features

[<Met...@ao...>]

Yes, I've seen that there are some bugs in the LCC-WIN32 res editor

You can't check whatever you like when you try to design a listview control 
for example, the dialog box for this seems to be a bit buggy.

And I cannot center an control into a dialog box, clicking on the button just 
doesn't do anything.

But, this is a free product and these bugs are not really cumbersome.

If anyone knows about another good *free* resource editor, I would be glad to 
hear from it. Any URL ?

Kind regards

Hi.
lcc-win32 is OK but have you noticed big disadvantage?
In lcc-win32 some of flags doesn't work.
For example button - you can't use every check box in properties window.
Of course you can click every check box but some of them does not
make any differences to button and after next opening properties
window the are not checked. Why ? Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Same properties (flags) witch does not work in lcc-win32 work in Visual C++
What's going on?

Re: [Dev-C++] Adding my own Lib files to Project

[Napoleon A. <nah...@so...>]

Hello Elizabeth,

I have tried your solution without success. I think it's me doing something
wrong so I will elaborate my problem below exactly as it is then may be you
can point me in the right direction. I have 3 main paths I'm dealing with
they are: (1)C:\Projects\Windows, (2)C:\Projects\Windows\Lib, and
(3)C:\Projects\Resources.

Path 1 contains the files
 Main.cpp,Ctrl.cpp,Ctrl.h, View.h.

Path 2 contains the files
Maker.cpp, Maker.h, Window.h, Procedure.cpp, Procedure.h, Class.cpp,
Class.h, Icon.cpp, Icon.h, Control.h and Canvas.h

Path 3 contains
Main.Ico, Script.rc, Resource.h

This is the way I tried to biuld the library. I created a DLL project and
added all the files from path 2 to it as they are. But I get loads of error
messaged when I compile.

The need to create a personal libary I guess becomes inevitable with time.
as it becomes obvious that certain classes and functions lend themselves to
reuse. If any one can write a little tutorial on how to build such a library
It will be much appreciated. Up untill now I have only written programs with
all the files in one directory but now I feel the need to start writting
libraries.

Thanks to anyone who will help.

Napoleon.

[Dev-C++] [win 2000 , DevCpp Beta 5] Missing resource editor features

[Napoleon A. <nah...@so...>]

Hello,
It just hit me that some features of the the resource editor of DevCpp =
ver 4 are missing from the latest DevCpp Beta 5. It came tools required =
including a resource editor which has wizards for creating dialog boxes, =
menus, adding icons and so on. This seems to be missing. The command to =
edit the resource editor brings up a regular edit screen.

Was this an oversight or delibrate ?

[Dev-C++] Re: link and create my own libraries

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

Thanks, I did what you say, but it does not work.
This is what I get:  undefined reference to all the functions that are
used in the main source file.
Perhaps I am wrong in respect to the process of building the a file and
I am being idiot. There is some site where I can see if there is
something special for write static libraries? In the Bruce Eckel's
"Thinking in C++" it is suggested that simply do what I do, take the .o
files, give them to librarian and passing it to the lib dir and the h to
the include dir, just what I do.

d:\devpro\newf\containtry.o: In function `main':
//d/devpro/newf/containtry.cpp:16: undefined reference to
`container<int>::container(void)'
//d/devpro/newf/containtry.cpp:16: undefined reference to
`container<int>::~container(void)'
//d/devpro/newf/containtry.cpp:19: undefined reference to
`container<int>::addcontainer(int)'
//d/devpro/newf/containtry.cpp:44: undefined reference to
`container<int>::operator[](int)'
//d/devpro/newf/containtry.cpp:53: undefined reference to
`container<int>::killcontainer(void)'
//d/devpro/newf/containtry.cpp:56: undefined reference to
`container<int>::~container(void)'

If I make #include <container.cpp> then it works perfectly.

It would be -lfile as the linker inserts 'lib' and adds on '.a'.

You'd need to add in the library directory C:\dev-cpp\lib, however,
for the linker to find it.

For example,

g++ -o test test.cpp -LC:\dev-cpp\lib -lfile

The -L says to look in C:\dev-cpp\lib for the library file
"libfile.a".  If the library file is in the same directory, you could
use -L. .

[Dev-C++] Adding and creating my own Lib files to Project

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

I don't know if I sent this message to the right direction or not, I post it
again.

I have a couple of files:
file.h and file.cpp
which I want add to a project, but which I'll want add to other projects, too.
So I think make a library file, libfile.a.
I compile in command line g++ -c file.cpp
Then I do ar -r libfile.a file.o
Then ar -s libfile.a
I copy it to c:\dev-cpp\lib\
I put in options (either project if it is organized as project or compiler if
simply mainfile.cpp #include "file.cpp")
-lfile, or -llibfile or -libfile or -lfile.a or -llibfile.a, but depending on what
I use I get or it does not find it or undefined references. It happens the same if
I leave libfile in the same directory than the rest of the project (one single
more file, mainfile.cpp).

What's my error? I mistake binutil? (ar -s = ranlib)

P.S. - In my computer (windows 2000, Intel III x86 6.5.5), when I type in the
command line ar -pv file it starts beeping continuosly, the command line does not
respond anymore and that continues after it has printed all. I had to restart the
computer. (I didn't proved without v[verbose], but surely it would do the same).

Re: [Dev-C++] Adding my own Lib files to Project

[Elizabeth B. <sog...@ya...>]

Look under:

Project->Project Options->Files/Directories

In that dialog there is a sub-tabbed thing, and the tabs are:

Library Directories, Include Directories, Resource Files, Resource Directories

If the libraries you need to link in to your application reside
somewhere beside the normal place ([DEV-C++_HOME]/lib or the
mingw-specific area) then you need to tell the linker about that
directory else it won't know where to look.

You add these directories using:
Project->Project Options->Files/Directories->Library Directories

These are *library* files and are not the same as include files.

Include files just tell the compiler (and your code) certain function
definitions (the signature of the function) and say to the compiler
"look, I don't have this code *now* but later on, when this program is
linked into an executable, somehow, someway, a function that matches
the signature in the header file will be provided".

So, anyway, after you compile your code using these header files
(often times referred to as "include files"), it's time to link it all
together. This is where the libraries come in - libraries provide the
actual code itself (not 100% accurate in that DLL's are used, but the
concept is the same: the library provides the implementation of the
functions defined in the header/include files).

Right, you don't want to mix them with the standard header files; the
C:\Projects\lib is probably just an example.

Let's say I want to build a project entitled "terminal_library" so I make
a special directory (or folder) entitled "terminal_library_project"

mkdir terminal_library_project
cd terminal_library_project

I then hack away and build a DLL that resides within
terminal_library_project:

terminal_library_project:
	terminal_library_a.c
	terminal_library_a.h
	terminal_library_a.o
	terminal_library_b.c
	terminal_library_b.h
	terminal_library_b.o
	terminal_library.dll
	terminal_library.dll.a
	terminal_library.a
	terminal_library.def

Anyway, that is done so then I go over to a different folder to work
on the "terminal project" itself (which uses code in the
terminal_library).

cd ..
mkdir terminal_project
cd terminal_project

In the source files of terminal_project are things like this:

#include "terminal_library_a.h"

The problem with just stating this is that during the compile, the
compiler cannot automatically determine where to find
"terminal_library_a.h". In order for it to find it, I need to tell the
compiler where it is located, which is where:

Project->Project Options->Files/Directories->Include Directories

comes into play. I add "terminal_library_project" to this list of
include directories and it compiles into object code fine *but* it
fails to link with those nasty error messages you mentioned
earlier. Why is this? Because in the same way that the compiler needed
to know where to find the include files it also needs to know where to
find the library files, so I add "terminal_library_project" to the

Project->Project Options->Files/Directories->Library Directories

And this tells the *linker* where to find the *libraries*.
