[Dev-C++] Installing wxBase

[John G. <ja...@tr...>]

I'm running Dev-C++ version 4.9.3.0 and I need to install wxBase for a
project I am about to start.  I'm a newbie at C++ (I can write PHP pretty
well and figured C++ was the next step) so this will be a learning exercise
at the same time.  I can't find anything that documents how to install
wxBase under Dev-C++...only VC++.

Any pointers for the install?

i did build the libraries using ming and the current
wx, in windows. the is also a hacked template. please
tell me an big mail box to send it.

[Dev-C++] Building a wxWindows app

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

Hello,

is there someone out there who managed to build a wxWindows application
with Dev-C++ 4.9.4.1 and the actual wxWindwos package for Dev-C++?

I need some help, because my compiler ends with errors whether I use
Cygwin or Mingw.

I hope somebody will give me some courtesy.

Thanks in advance

Re: [Dev-C++] GUI library?

[Roger R. <rr...@us...>]

Hi all

I=B4m using Dev-C++ 4.01 with the Gtk+ 1.3 Package (in the old style 
packaging system) and it=B4s very stable for my applications. I=B4m using 
Glade too.

I think that it=B4s not bad idea to make a Gtk+ 1.3 package for Dev-
C++ 5.

Anyway I=B4d have not enough time in order to evaluate porting my 
applications to Gtk+ 2.0 (if it isnt borken don=B4t fix it)

You can't rely on specific behaviour. This mechanism could not work at
all (in which case argc would be 0). You can make some trick to avoid
th/e above behaviour, like using a parameter -all instead of * and do
the job internally.

[Dev-C++] Automatic wildcard expansion

[Abhijit S. <mu...@gm...>]

If I run
    makedict e d:\code\makedict\dict.txt *.txt
my program receives it as

-Start--------------------------
arg 0: makedict
arg 1: e
arg 2: d:\code\makedict\dict.txt
arg 3: dict.txt
-Stop---------------------------

I recall that this behaviour is a GCC feature, and I can bypass it by
quoting the argument, but how can I explicitly tell the compiler to disable
such expansion?

This package is provided for those who needs to (cross-)compile MySQL =

      Dev-C++ is a nice piece of software.
      I'd like to use them to make database utilities using MySQL.
      Well... my question is: What is the better way to implement MySQL =

      I know there is a class (MySQL++) in MySQL site. Somebody alread =

That's because doqq.exe is in use. Of course it can't be removed.

Yes I know. It is my favorite way to spend, or waste, a day or two. (We have
several computers here.) Every time I am forced into the "clean install"
loop, I dream about ways to force Bill Gates and his development team to do
it for me. I must admit that since I upgraded to XP that I have had far
fewer problems, so far that is.

Elemental, Windows ALWAYS works better after a clean install (especialy =

Re: [Dev-C++] conversion from void *(and is neither void nor pointer)

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

Yes, it worked, thanks, and thanks too for your comment about this tutori=
al, as
a comment for those who can be interesting in beginning learning windows,=
 I feel
it is a good way for preparing oneself to that kind of things, although I=
 thing
it is not explanative enough, it's too superficial. I would recommend eye=
 the
winprog tutorial (forger's) which explains the functions a bit more and t=
hen see
the reliable, while they (reliable) don't explain them a little more, tho=
ugh
reliable's tutorial can be enough for a starting.
Naturally, for true learning, buy a book, online tutorials are only for g=
et
started.
I agree you in that of know or not C before C++, you don't need c before =
c++,
but many people has a bad logical thought: they don't notice that after C=
 is
easier learn C++ than learn C++ directly simply because the half is the s=
ame, if
you learn first C and then C++, when you're studying C++ you know yet the=
 half
or more of what you're reading, but if you want only C++ and not need C, =
why
have to learn one and a half programming language? Learn just one, the on=
e you
need.
At the same way we could say, if you want learn C, learn first C++, it's =
the
same case, when you study C after C++ you know yet more than a half of it=
, it's
more, C++ has more of C than C of C++, so it is faster the inverse way:

Demonstration:
Time for learning C alone: say four months.
Time for learning C++ alone: Say five months (admit a little of confusion=
 is due
to this difference in time of learning directly).
Proportion of C++ inside C: 50%
Proportion of C inside C++: 75%
What to do from C to C++: change and add names and add capabilities.
What to do from C++ to C++: change names and don't use some capabilities.
First C and second C++:
4 moths learnig C + 5 * 0.50 (100 - 50%/100) =3D 4 + 2.5 =3D 6.5 months, =
add 0.5
months for "take the feeling to object oriented programming"           ^|=
 This
is what remains unknown.                Total: 7 months.
First C++ and second C:
5 months learning C++ + 4 * 0.25 (100 - 75%/100) =3D 5 + 1 =3D 6 months. =
You don't
need add anything because the object oriented things are not needed, you =
simply
don't use them.
Result: C++ -> C is one month faster than C -> C++. And the calculus has =
been
made to favour C->C++.

Of course, and that is another thing, know both is better than only one, =
so you
have at your disposal some functions that perhaps in some moments could m=
ake
some things easier, but I think those would be rare, and there is nothing=
 you
can't do with c++ but can with c, however there are things you can do wit=
h C++
you cannot with C (object orienting), but you can simulate object orienti=

Re: [Dev-C++] stdafx and afx---

AFX -- Application Framework eXtensions.  MFC (Microsoft Foundation
Classes) are classes that help implement the AFX Document View system in an
object oriented way.  AFX was around before MFC, and even before C++
(classes in C, what fun.  Helps explain what all the funky preprocessor
macros in MFC programming are for -- derivation style programming without
inheritance)

[Dev-C++] Bug Report

[Abhijit S. <mu...@gm...>]

When I 'make clean' in debugging mode, I get this message:

-Start------------------------
 doqq.exe D:\Code\doqq\rm
Permission denied

 D:\Code\doqq\Makefile.win
[Build Error]  [clean] Error 1
-Stop-------------------------

I think it should disable the debugger before cleaning.

Also, a feature request, allow customization of the colours used in syntax
highlighting, I can't use it when my window colour is dark. It would be nice
if Dev auto-detects the dark colours and inverts the colours it uses by
default.

were better than Win2k.

Windows ME *sucks*. I suggest win98 second edition if you want to use
some "win9x" version.
