Dear Sir,
I'm a novice. I just got the Dev-C++. Why is it that when I select
Console Application for simple project, i.e. "Hello World" , as soon
as I run the program, the screen switches into Dos and back to
Windowa at lightning speed, I can't even see what the computer did.
How can I tell the program to go to DOS and stay there? Or better
yet, how can I execute these simple programs from the Dev-C screen
without even going to DOS?
Yours truly

Hai,
You can use the following lines in your cods. It stops!

__#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{

      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}

Re: [Dev-C++] Console Project

[John D. <jr...@gp...>]

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I have another question, I
notice that on actual programs which downloaded for the purpose of
understanding how they work, I find that that most, if not all of
them comes with more than than one file, executables, etc. How are
these files linked together? How can I start linking files together
to make it do what I want it to do?

Re: [Dev-C++] Makefile whats it?

[Steve D. P. <ste...@ho...>]

    Makefiles are part of a standard system for building large applications,
applications is made up of numerous components and source files that must be
carefully tied-in together.  I don't mean to sound snotty, but if you've
never heard of it than you're probably not yet at a point where you would
have use for it.  When you find yourself building applications involving
multiple source files and it's a real pain to keep everything straight... do
a web search on "gnu make", and you should find all the resources you need
to explore and experiment with makefiles and the make system.

    Dev-C++ already has support for make... the "Generate Makefile" option
appears within the "Project" pull-down menu.

[Dev-C++] [ANNOUNCE]: wxWindows 2.2.7 package for Dev-C++ released

[Steve D. P. <ste...@ho...>]

    I would like to announce that an updated Dev-C++ package of the
wxWindows library has been released.  wxWindows is an open-source,
cross-platform GUI framework and library of utility classes (strings and
other data types, networking, database access, multi-threading, etc.).  This
package contains a pre-built wxWindows library with a "New Project wizard"
template for creating wxWindows projects, and plugs easily into Dev-C++
using its package manager.

    I have made the package available for download at
http://www.steveperkins.net/development/platforms/cpp.jsp?category=platforms
... I hope to keep it as current as possible with future wxWindows
development, and to soon make other packages available (ACE+TAO, the gcc
tools for building Palm applications, etc).

AFAICT there is no limit. I'm also using makefiles from a DOS-Box, and it's no problem to give several 100 filenames to gcc.

> - does gcc have anyhing like the "response file" of bcc32?

I'm not completely sure what that is, but if you need it to store options, you can just use a makefile. A description of all the gcc options can be found at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/gcc_2.html#SEC3
Which is part of some more docs (including make):
http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html

> - when developing a console mode application, do I need to link rsrc.o?

No, and you also don't need any special libraries.
gcc myprogram.o -o myprogram.exe
should be all you need to link a console object file to the .exe. Normally you will also want to use at least the -O3 (turn on optimizations) and -s (strip debugging info) options.
Note, if you are compiling C++ (not plain C), you can always replace gcc with g++ so it automatically uses the additional options and libraries.

[Dev-C++] using the Mingw compiler as a command line tool

Hello !

I'm not very happy about the following features of Dev-C++:

I decided to work around this by using directly the Mingw compiler.
To start, I looked at the file produced by Dev when you ask to generate the 
makefile and I have some questions:
- has a DOS command line (Win 98 - DOS box) any max length (in old DOS there
   was a 128 char limit)?
- does gcc have anyhing like the "response file" of bcc32?

Hello,

You can use:

GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) to get the screen width
an GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) for the  height.

The function return the size in pixels. You have to add libuser32.a in

you to rebuild the name of the file by joining what has  been  returned  by=
