Re: [Dev-C++] how to add *.lib files

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

Hi,

This is a follow-up to my earlier e-mail. I found the file: reimp.zip
Here's an extract from its readme file.
`reimp' is a tool to convert Microsoft's new-style (short) import =
libraries to import libraries for win32 ports of GNU tools (mingw32, =
cygwin).

The URL and contact info is :
URL: http://www.acc.umu.se/~anorland/gnu-win32/

Anders Norlander <ano...@he...>

If you have trouble trying to download the file, I can e-mail you the =
zip file. It's only 30.2KB in size.

Best Regards,
Yeoh

  Hi Andy,

  I've used DevC++ for some development work in the past and I had the =
same trouble as you. You can't link to a .lib . You'll need to convert =
the .lib file into a .a file which is used in DevC++. There is a utility =
program that does this. If I'm not mistaken, I have posted the link to =
the file last year. Try searching the list archive. Also, try finding =
the link to the file at the MingW website.

    .lib (library) files in DEV are .a files. Is that where you're going =
wrong?

    To add them, use one of the top menus and in a box on one of the =

It should run one your toshiba fine. It may be a little slow, but shouldn't too
bad. I myself ran DevCpp on a machine of similar specs and it worked fine.

As for DevCpp on Linux, it should run on nearly every Linux box with GCC and
Xwindows. Downside is that the current version is a beta, and I myself have
experience quite a few bugs. I would recommend using emacs for right now until
DevCpp for Linux gets better.

[Dev-C++] Minimum system requirements for dev-cpp 4?

[Christopher D. R. <cr...@ra...>]

Greetings!

What are the minimum system requirements for dev-cpp 4 for the windows 
and linux versions?  I couldn't find that info on the website.

I'm taking classes at the local college to become a web developer and
would like to do my homework assignments away from home on my laptop (a
Toshiba 420CDS with a Pentium 100 and 40MB RAM).  Since I'm taking intro
courses over the next year, I'm not doing any heavy duty programming with
my laptop.  I got MS Visual C++ 6 at home if I need to do a complex
homework assignment.  Will dev-cpp 4 work well on my laptop with either
Windows 98 or Linux (SuSE 7.3 and the Black Box window manager)?

Thanks!

RE: [Dev-C++] Linker Problem

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

You made a typo, wrote int maim(void) instead of int main(void). In
addition you made mistakes (e.g. forgot the "do" in do-while). Also you
code in preANSI C++ style. I do not know what you wanted to do so i made
it to have some basic logic. Your code fixed and ANSI C++ compliant:

/*This program verifies data.
Jac Lyn Owenby
280-01 Prog 1
*/

#include <iostream>


int main(void)
{
 using namespace std;

//Declarations
int num1;
int num2;
int num3;
int num;

//Statements
cout << "\nPlease enter data to be validated." <<endl;

  while(cin>> num >> num1 >> num2 >> num3)
    ;      

 return 0;
}



The above code written in a better way:

/*This program verifies data.
Jac Lyn Owenby
280-01 Prog 1
*/

#include <iostream>


int main()
{
 using std::cin;
 using std::cout;
 using std::endl;

//Declarations
int num1, num2, num3, num;

//Statements
cout << "\nPlease enter data to be validated." <<endl;

  while(cin>> num >> num1 >> num2 >> num3)
    ;      
}

Hi Ian!
One possibility might be that your computer's not fast enough (as you can't 
change the screen resolution in GLUT's fullscreen mode) -> use 
doublebuffering.  I never had this problem when using glut, maybe 'cause I 
always used GLUT_DOUBLEBUFFER.
Because of the nonexisting resolution change stuff I switched over to 
SDL.  And you know what?  It's better!!!
And another thing is:  it seems like those devCPP guys don't know a lot 
about OpenGL.  Noone ever helped me when I had problems (so I switched to, 
please excuse, VisualC++).
Anyway, hope the doublebuffer is the problem ...

[Dev-C++] Re: sending strings over a network

[de S. <fla...@ne...>]

Hi Ian:

In you will have to work with socket connections that is "an interface"=20
to the operating system to send data over a network. Widely used these=20
days in Internet. I am working in an e-mail software, then I had to=20
research a little about it.

A socket is very much like a telephone - it's the endpoint of a
two-way communications channel.  By connecting two sockets together
you can pass data between processes, even processes running on
different computers, just as you can talk over the telephone once
you've made a phone call connecting your telephone with someone
else's.

You will find many tutorials in internet if you search for : Winsock,=20
socket connection, Windows Sockets, etc.

There is a good tutorial called "Windows Sockets:  A Quick And Dirty=20
Primer", but I do not remember the http address, anyway you can search=20
for this title.

If you wish I have a few pdfs about socket I can send you. Just let me=20
know if you want them.

Hope this can help you start.

Flavio.
