No, that is not possible. I did that on purpose because there's no way
the templates will work in version 4. And version 5 has a different
directory structure.

If you're interested in the header files, go to it's website and
download the source code.

[Dev-C++] packages

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

Is there some page where we can find the packages which are in Dev home
page in DevPak format in another format we can install with Dev 4?
As I said I cannot install one I downloaded, and it was said in an
answer it only works with Dev 5, but I don't want download 10MB of it.
And the old package page link leads to a file not found in one page (the
not .everfloyd.) and in the (.everfloyd.) page some of them are not
there or are broken.

Possible answer(?) - "Read instructions"
Answer to possible answer- "I read them, they say double click (they are
in the download page), I did not see any other place with any
instruction about it. I double clicked and nothing, only open with...,
but no program opens it correctly. It was said Dev4 does not manage this
kind of format, you must have Dev5".
Thanks.

P.S. : I had the opportunity to prove some other free IDEs for
programming with mingw, Borland (conTEXT, VIDE and others) and Dev is
the best I found, together with VIDE, which is the only comparable, and
which I use for Borland 5.5 free. Thank you, authors!

Re: [Dev-C++] 2 questions

[Bob W. <bo...@ph...>]

If you mean that you want to pass a parameter to a program you have compiled
with dev-c++ when you run the freshly compiled program still in the IDE, go
to "Options>Enviroment Options>Preferences" and you will see an input box
labled "Give the following parameters when executing a compiled project".
Use this to call your program with parameters, in case it needs some.

[clip]

I would expect Setup Creator to be a program that builds installation sets
for your finished executable.  Installing Windows executables is frequently
painful, since they depend on various DLLs, COM components, etc.  A setup
program discovers those dependencies, packs them together, and wraps an
install program around them to install them on destination machines.

I don't know how you make your own project types, sorry.

OK, I'm going to go out on a limb here.  The only interpretation I can
place on your question that makes any sense to me in the context of an IDE
(Dev-C++ or any other IDE) is:

"How do I configure the debugging system to pass command line arguments to
the program I am developing?"

Is this a correct interpretation?  If not, could you please be more
specific about what you are wanting to do and what is keeping you from
doing it?

[Dev-C++] Setup Creator

[Scott A. S. <ss...@ma...>]

Greetings,

I am new to Dev-C++ but not C++. I think I need the Setup Creator
feature as mentioned in the FAQ (V4, #15), but am not sure since
there does not seem to be any documentation on it and the installation
instructions are not working. Does this still work in the recent version
(4.9.3.0) from SourceForge? If so, where can I read about how it is used?
Is this what will allow me to define my own project types?

Thanks,
Scott

I'm a little disturbed by the description given below.  I'm pretty sure
that argc includes the name of the executable, so that "bot.exe level3.bot"
would have argc == 2.  I know that argv[0] contains the name of the
executable, because UN*X systems use this to distinguish behaviors for
symlinked executables (don't ask, it isn't possible on Windows, and it is
slightly odd anyway).  The practical upshot is that, for the example above,
argv[0] would be "bot.exe" and argv[1] would be "level3.bot".

surely info on the dev-c++ ide is not needed when you can solve your
problems with actual code...
oh wait a second... do you mean starting dev-c++ with command line
arguments?
for that i think you would need to wait for a new version where it is
implemented
and at the moment, argue strongly why we would need such a thing

Hi List,


I try to learn the handling with DLLs and the Project I've wrote doesnt

Has anyone some Ideas what I've made wrong ???



Kind Regards

#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>



static HINSTANCE hLibrary ;



int main(int argc, char* argv[])

Yes, if the mechanism work. There is a possibility the program to not
"see" the arguments and argc to be 0. Also if it works, argv[0] can be
"" (which is '\0' and 0).

The C++ standard says:

"An implementation shall not predefine the main function. This function
shall not be overloaded. It shall
have a return type of type int, but otherwise its type is
implementationdefined.
All implementations
shall allow both of the following definitions of main:
int main() { /* ... */ }
and
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { /* ... */ }
In the latter form argc shall be the number of arguments passed to the
program from the environment in
which the program is run. If argc is nonzero these arguments shall be
supplied in argv[0] through
argv[argc1] as pointers to the initial characters of nullterminated
multibyte strings (NTMBSs)
(17.3.2.1.3.2) and argv[0] shall be the pointer to the initial character

Actually, argv[0] is always the full filename of the executable, like
C:\Foo\Bar.exe, no matter what you do. In Unix, argv[0] is what you've
typed in at the commandline, not the filename of the executable.

RE: [Dev-C++] 2 questions

[Mac R. <re...@no...>]

I'm a little disturbed by the description given below.  I'm pretty sure
that argc includes the name of the executable, so that "bot.exe level3.bot"
would have argc == 2.  I know that argv[0] contains the name of the
executable, because UN*X systems use this to distinguish behaviors for
symlinked executables (don't ask, it isn't possible on Windows, and it is
slightly odd anyway).  The practical upshot is that, for the example above,
argv[0] would be "bot.exe" and argv[1] would be "level3.bot".

RE: [Dev-C++] 2 questions

[Ramana K. <ra...@my...>]

to start a program using command line arguments, you take these two
arguments in your main function.
example:
---------------------------------
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 if(argc == 1)
 {
  openfile(argv[0]);
 }
 return 0;
}
---------------------------------
the first argument passed to main (argc) is the number (int) of words typed
after the name of the program when it is run. the second argument is an
array of pointers to char strings, basically, a list in order of all the
words passed to the program when it is run. in your example "bot.exe
level3.bot" argc would equal 1 and argv[0] would evaluate as "level3.bot".
so you could use a function (like openfile(char*) above) or even use
ifstream in(argv[0]); or whatever else your program needs to use the
filename given when your program is run.

Hi,

can somebody answer me a few questions ? My first problem is
I compiled a console program and want to start it like this "bot.exe
level3.bot"
is it possible to configure dev-c++ o use these parameters ?

my second question concerns the classbrowser, is it possible to
move around in the .cc file or does it only support to move around in
the header ?

Open a command prompt window and get in the directory of your source
code file, which is named e.g. temp.c. E.g.

C:\>cd c

C:\c>


Then give \dev-c++\bin\gcc temp.c -o temp


and see if it compiles.

I'm running ME here too... no problems at all.

I'm using Windows ME (yes, I know, please don't lecture me) and have just 
downloaded the latest version of the Dev-C++ Beta, but it isn't working.  I 
get the blue screen of death when I try to compile anything (even a simple 
"Hello World" script, the one included!) and then I have to restart the 
computer numerous times to get everything working and to get the Internet 
back.  I am running a P3 1GHz with 256 MB of RAM.  Is this a known issue?

[Dev-C++] 2 questions

[Nils L. <lan...@we...>]

Hi,

can somebody answer me a few questions ? My first problem is
I compiled a console program and want to start it like this "bot.exe 
level3.bot"
is it possible to configure dev-c++ o use these parameters ?

my second question concerns the classbrowser, is it possible to
move around in the .cc file or does it only support to move around in
the header ?

Re: [Dev-C++] making .a files

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

.a files are library files. To make them under MingW32, you do this:

g++ -c -o foo.o foo.cpp
ar -r libfoo.a foo.o

Copy libfoo.a to your 'lib' directory, and when compiling stuff, you can use
it as a library, as in

g++ -o boo.exe boo.cpp -lfoo

Translate these commands into appropriate Dev-C++ settings (if possible)...
for the 'ar' bit, you'll have to use a script.

A reminder: Some people are (still)using HTML e-mail, please switch to text.

Subject: Re: [Dev-C++] making .a files


There is no option in file -> new project to make only the .a file, at
least in Dev-C++ 4. There are only windows, console, winmain, dll and
empty.
But I tried to open a new DLL and compile it wothout touch the basic
template, and in the output are the .def, the .dll and the .a file. I
suppose then that if you want make an .a file you have just to make a
dll. It is valid I'll suppose while no other thing is said. [I don't
know yet program them, but I am trying to write an application to
convert MSVC project to DEV-C++ project]
