[Dev-C++] How I compile DirectX in Dev-C++ (was Re: SDK info)

[Christian S. <csc...@gm...>]

To compile DirectX in Dev-C++ you need include files and import libraries.
You can use the include files that come with the DirectX SDK. Copy the
****.h (for instance "d3d8.h") into the directory "c:\devc\include" (or
whereever you have Dev-C). Next you need import libraries, they're here:
http://sites.netscape.net/ptrpck/dx8libs.zip Copy any lib****.a (for
instance "libd3d8.a") into the directory "c:\devc\lib".

open "c:\devc\include\wtypes.h" and add this line to the beginning:
"typedef unsigned int *UINT_PTR;"
open "c:\devc\include\windef.h" and add this line to the beginning:
"#define HMONITOR_DECLARED"

Now you can compile DirectX programs with Dev-C++.
In the beginning of your program #include <****> what you use for instance
"#include <d3d8.h>"
For each #include put a linker option in "project settings -> additional
linker commands" that reads like "-l****" (for instance "-ld3d8", separate
with spaces).
If you want to write C++ (as opposed to C) code with DirectX put
"-fvtable-thunks" in "project settings -> additional compiler commands",
otherwise the compiler will tell you about 1000 times :-)

... and if you want your program to run faster, add this into the
"additional compiler commands" line:
"-O2 -funroll-loops -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer" (separate options
with spaces)

[Dev-C++] listing files!

[Andre` N. C. <ca...@op...>]

I want to list all files that end with *.ctw on the screen.  Does anyone know how I would do this?  in a console app btw:)  I only want to display the first part. IE
3 files:
    andre.ctw
    fred.ctw   
    tom.ctw

the display would be:
    andre
    fred
    tom

Re: [Dev-C++] SDK info

[Allen S. <sco...@ho...>]

I have everone, I'm pretty new to programming and I wanting to to some game 
development, so I went and got the directx8a sdk, glide2 sdk, and glide 3 
sdk. I was wondering how i should use them with dev-c++. I know about 
include files and stuff but it is hard to get a Directx, glide or opengl 
program to compile. Thanks in advance for any help whatsover:)

P.s. what are some good dev sites with tutorials on c\c++, opengl, glide,

[Dev-C++] A way to trigger the access violation?

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Hi !

If you have a few minutes, try the following steps and let me know if they 
lead, as on my system (Dev-C++ 4.01 under Win 98), to an "access violation".

Phase 1 - creating a new project
   - start Dev-C++
   - click new project, choose console application
   - type a name for the project (let's say av)
   - save the file "Untitled1" (added by default) with the name av_main
   - exit Dev-C++

Phase 2 - triggering the error
   - start Dev-C++
   - open project av (for example use File-Reopen)
   - in the project window, click on av_main (so now you can edit it)
   - make any change to the file (push space bar)
   - try to compile the project: the error box should pop up

According to my experience opening an existing project (by using either 
File-Open or File-Reopen), editing any file in the project and then 
compiling triggers the error.

Re: [Dev-C++] Assembler in C++

[Christian S. <csc...@gm...>]

Dev-C++ uses GCC internally and GCC complies to the AT&T syntax when it
comes to assembler which is opposite to the Intel-Syntax. Here is an
example:

int add_one( int )
{
   asm( "
      mov 4(%esp), %eax
      add $1, %eax
      ret
   " );
}


cheers,

Re: [Dev-C++] Access violation

[Christian S. <csc...@gm...>]

The Access Violation comes randomly. It goes away if I create a new project
and add all my source files to it. Then I can edit and compile for 5 min ~
5 days. Then suddenly it will say "Out of memory" or "Access Violation" and
I have to start from an empty project again.

I have Win98.

Re: [Dev-C++] Assembler in C++

[Lorenzo <co...@in...>]

> Can someone give me a small example how I use the reserved word asm and

If you want to learn how to use assembler is better if you download masm or
nasm (two assembler compiler), because the syntax of assembly in mingw is
very complicated though on mingw page you can find documentation about this.

Re: [Dev-C++] Access violation

[Mikael A. <mik...@ma...>]

Hi !

It look's like it is very random, some times I just have to open a project,
change something in a source file, compile and then it's gone, some times I
can work on a project for 10-15 minutes without problems, changing lots of
files without problems. I will continue to try to find some logic in it.

Re: [Dev-C++] Problems insight and Unknown error

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

I'm using the same software you have.
I've tried your short program and it works fine, this means that I have no=
=20
suggestions for your problem #1, instead I can tell you something about=20
problem #2.

Let's assume that you have Dev-cpp (and all other related tools) installed=
=20
in c:\dev (this means that the file gdb.exe has the following full path=20
name: c:\dev\bin\gdb.exe).

The Dev-cpp IDE comes with a "console type" gdb.exe (the one that when=20
invoked pops up a window with the title gdb, and waits for you to type=20
commands). The insight debugger includes a file called gdb.exe, but this=20
one is the "graphic type" gdb. Now when you install the insight debugger=20
make sure that the "console type" gdb is overwritten by the "graphic type"=
=20
gdb (if you compare the date of the two files you will find that the=20
"console type" is newer than the "graphic type": don't worry, let the old=20
file overwrite the new file). Now by pressing F8 the "graphic gdb" should=20
be invoked.

Re: [Dev-C++] Access violation

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Yes, I've been experiencing the same problem (I also get the error when I 
attempt to compile the project) while working on a .cpp file, like you I 
must use the task manager to kill Dev C++ (sometimes I have to push the 
reset button!).
I downloaded version 4.01 and my system runs under Windows98.

Right now I've got no way to reproduce the error at will, so if you can, 
try to record the exact steps that lead to it.

RE: [Dev-C++] help/compiler

[Schedler, K. <Kur...@hi...>]

What's happening is your program executes so quickly you aren't seeing the
console.

You need to add a cin.get() or a getchar() or something to pause execution
until you hit return.

Hi,
I have install Dev-cpp 4.1 from the bloodshed side without a
compiler. The compiler is mingw version 2.95.2. It run's.

Now I have two Problems:

1. when i run a command line program from dev-cpp like:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
  printf( "hello world ...");
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

instead the prog run, pop ups a messagebox Error: Unknown error.

What is wrong?

2. I have install the Insight Version 5 from the bloodshed side.
When I press F8 or start the debugger from the menue it start a

nothing. The insight debugger don't start.

Any suggestions ?

Hi !

First: are there any documentation on the editor in Dev-cpp ?, whats keys

it only the standard Windows keys I can use ?

Can I add other files then cpp file to a project, for example if I want to
