Hi,
Thank you for this code, it appears to work correctly with GCC.

Sincerely,
Brian

Hi, i don't know why the source code you posted doesn't work. I'm using
basically the same code in my programs. The program below works fine for me
under win98, i'm using the code to catch output for another program, but it
seems to work with 'gcc' just the same.

I didn't look at your code in detail, but it's almost the same procedure:

Cerate a temporary file, redirect the output from the called command into
that file, then read the contents of the temporary file and delete the file.

I compiled with 'gcc -mwindows -O3 -s -o catch.exe catch.c', but should of
course work with a dev-c++ project as well.

(Warning: This code may contain all sort of mistakes and bugs)(but i hope it
does work)

RE: [Dev-C++] Reading GCC output

[Brian C. B. <bcb...@ya...>]

Hi,
   I apologize for not being clear. I am coding a small IDE that invokes the
GCC compiler, just like Dev-C++ does. Dev-C++ catches the output produced by
GCC and displays the errors, warnings, and other GCC output at the bottom of
the program. I would like to know how to do just that: invoke GCC from my
program, catch the output, and display it. I know how to invoke GCC and
display any output, but I do not know how to catch the output. Could someone
point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Brian

manual for command line options that might direct the output into a file,

any information on how to find those files to read them. I also tried the

Re: [Dev-C++] More Version checking

[Bruno B. <bbe...@cl...>]

The RegOpenKey  function can help you.

The RegOpenKeyEx function opens the specified key.

LONG RegOpenKeyEx(

    HKEY  hKey, // handle of open key
    LPCTSTR  lpszSubKey, // address of name of subkey to open
    DWORD  dwReserved, // reserved
    REGSAM  samDesired, // security access mask
    PHKEY  phkResult  // address of handle of open key
   );
Parameters

hKey

Identifies a currently open key or any of the following predefined
reserved handle values:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS

lpszSubKey

Points to a null-terminated string containing the name of the subkey to
open. If this parameter is NULL or a pointer to an empty string, the
function will open a new handle of the key identified by the hKey
parameter. In this case, the function will not close the handles
previously opened.

dwReserved

Reserved; must be zero.

samDesired

Specifies an access mask that describes the desired security access for
the new key. This parameter can be a combination of the following
values:

Value Meaning
KEY_ALL_ACCESS Combination of KEY_QUERY_VALUE, KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS,
KEY_NOTIFY, KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY, KEY_CREATE_LINK, and KEY_SET_VALUE
access.
KEY_CREATE_LINK Permission to create a symbolic link.
KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY Permission to create subkeys.
KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS Permission to enumerate subkeys.
KEY_EXECUTE Permission for read access.
KEY_NOTIFY Permission for change notification.
KEY_QUERY_VALUE Permission to query subkey data.
KEY_READ Combination of KEY_QUERY_VALUE, KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS, and
KEY_NOTIFY access.
KEY_SET_VALUE Permission to set subkey data.
KEY_WRITE Combination of KEY_SET_VALUE and KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY access.
phkResult

Points to a variable that receives the handle of the opened key.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value is an error value.

[Dev-C++] More Version checking

[<ti...@ne...>]

thanks Derek for the reply. I imagined it would probably have something =
to do with the registry, but i checked through everything in the =
regedit.exe program but acrobat reader doesn't seem to have a version =
value. Can you or anybody else  think of another technic? And do you =
know how to get values from the registry

thanks for you time everyone

They are pretty good. Also what kind of game is this for if a 3D game .=20

Howdy...

Does anyone know whether Dev-C++ supports MAPI or not ?

I'm just curious.

    Nothing.  You can achieve the "Press Any Key to Continue..." effect in
several ways, the point is simply that this is the easiest strategy for
writing a console app whose window doesn't close before you can see its
output.

What's wrong with a getch() at the end of the program?

#include <conio.h>

main()
{
  ...  //the code 
  getch();
}

    The "Hello World" template creates a console-based app... which executes
in a console window.  The default characteristics of console windows are
adjusted in slightly different ways depending on the particular version of
Windows you're talking about... but they all have the option of either
closing on exit or not.  "Close on exit" means that a console window created
to run a console app will automatically close once that app exits...
otherwise you will get a "Press any key to continue..." prompt before the
window closes.

    The reason that your console windows flashes by is that your system is
configured for "close on exit".  Since there are so many different ways to
control this behavior depending on your Windows version (and I don't know
all of them), I'm not even going to suggest that you try to fix the
"problem" by exploring that route.  The easier solution would be to use this
line in your program right before the program exits:

        system("PAUSE");

    This will invoke that "Press any key to continue..." prompt I mentioned
earlier, and keep your console session from flashing by so quickly.
