Re: [Dev-C++] to colin laplace

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

Hi colin

> Dev-c++/pascal because i'm rewriting the whole thing

I have downloaded the dev-c++ package and found it a very ambitious and
promising project. If you plan to rewrite it or parts of it, would you mind
to consider the following suggestions:

1) make gcc invoke one time per source file instead of multiple source files
in one gcc invokation, so you can display in a status line which source file
is compiling
2) make a ctrl-c break of the compilation process
3) maybe you can implement a more intelligent "make" function, but I know
this is not trivial a task

4) very important: make the paths in the *.dev file relative so you can move
all sources together with the project file into another directory.

Now to some more obscure featues
5) Why the hell can't a source file have the same name than a project
file??? I have "test.dev" and want to have "test.cpp" in it I did this 1000
times before with other compilers
6) If I select "new source file" from the file menu, then rename that source
file, and then want to save it the first time, dev-c++ complains that a
source file of the same name is already existing in the project
harharharharharharhar
7) make the project directory the default directory for new source files. I
have found them saved to the root directory of my HD.

well, that's already 7 points, a magic number, I could continue this list
but I think these are the "features" of Dev-C++ that I would like to have
changed most. Wait until gcc 2.95.3 (<-!!!) is released as MinGW version,
since this is the most recent gcc (it's not the same as 2.95.2-3).

later,
chris

Re: [Dev-C++] Resource file not compiling

[Devin S. <dev...@bu...>]

Phil,

Check the project options and see if additional information is being passed
to the compiler from Dev-C++. Also check Compiler Options. If you still have
problems I suppose you could clear out any registry entries/INI files from
Dev-C++ (assuming some are made) and when you restart the compiler it will
create a default configuration.

Devin.

if you search for ham radio packet networks you'll find cheap ways to have
wireless networks.. One of the allows 34mbps with a maximun coverage of
14kilometers.. sorry but I don't have the link at hand is something I

How cheap are you talking?  This is NOT really a cheap task.  If I remember
correctly a 900 meter distance would have to covered with optical fiber,
coaxial and CAT5 would degrade.  Depending of course if you have permits to

[Purohit P. J.. <pra...@si...>]

Hello,
     Sorry, for using networking topic in c++ mailing list but I urgently
need some help.

    I want to setup a cheap network for internet sharing in 50 nearby
buildings. The maximum distance of clients from server will be approx. 900
meters, and I will have to give connection to approx 300 houses in these 50
buildings.  Kindly suggest me a network layout which is cheapest speed not
main concern.

   Also suggest equipments that I will need for this network

ONCE AGAIN,
    --NETWORK FOR INTERNET SHARING.
    --THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE INTERNET CONNECTION WHICH WILL  BE ON SERVER.
    --INTERNET CONNECTION TO BE GIVEN TO 300 COMPUTERS.
    --MAX DISTANCE OF CLIENTS FROM SERVER 300MTS.
    --CHEAPEST NETWORK NEEDED.
    --SPEED NOT MAIN CONCERN.

RE: [Dev-C++] Mingw 2.95.2-3 released

[Colin L. <web...@bl...>]

You are right. This was just a simple annoucement of a new mingw release.
I will check the change log of this version and will test it, and then will
either make a new dev-c++ release with latest mingw version if it is really
useful (and will maybe correct a couple of bugs in 4.01 version) or make a
installation instruction for using this version. There is no new updates for
Dev-c++/pascal because i'm rewriting the whole thing. More informations will
come as soon as something really usable/stable will be made.

Greetings,
Colin

Re: [Dev-C++] Mingw 2.95.2-3 released

[Colin L. <web...@bl...>]

Hi,

This is the new mingw compiler, headers and libraries=2E It doesn't include =
a
Dev-C++ IDE=2E To use it with your current distribution you should untar/gz =
all
the files and either move them to your current Dev-C++ bin, include and lib
directories or modify the paths in Compiler Options dialog of Dev-C++ to mat=
ch
the directories where you installed the new mingw version=2E

Hope this helps,
Colin

Does anyone have a working example I can look at?

[Dev-C++] Mingw 2.95.2-3 released

[Colin L. <web...@bl...>]

Hello,

The Mingw compiler version 2.95.2-3 has been released by the Mingw team.
If you want to upgrade you Dev-C++ with it you can download the following files
:

Win32 API files :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/w32api-0.5.tar.gz

GCC 2.95.3 :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gcc-2.95.2-3.zip

LD linker :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/ld-2.10.91-20010126.zip

Ming-runtime :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-0.5-20010221.tar.gz

You can reach the download page at : https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435

If some of you are having troubles patching your current version with this new
one i will make some install instructions documentation.

Greetings,
Colin Laplace

Christian,

If you want to learn C++ you should do it right from the beginning. 

It is

int main()

Now that we speak the same language here is the reason

The name of the program need to be enclosed between inverted commas,
but the variable c_prg doesn't have them.

BTW: Don't think you can use Win API functions in this fancy way.
Perhaps you can encounter some severe problems.

I suggest you to learn the basics of C++ and start to learn Windows
programming as a complement.

Hope this clarifies.

Chemanuel

Because you are using a char variable instead of char vector, try this:

    char c_prg[256] = {0}; <-- look
    printf("Wich program sould be executed: ");
    scanf("%s", &c_prg);
    getchar();
    ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(), "open", c_prg, NULL, NULL, SW_NORMAL);
<-- look

[Christian W. <Chr...@vo...>]

Hi there,

i followed the discussion about the execution of a external prg.

I have to learn c++ too, so i copy the source into vc++6.0 (i must use it
... :-(  ):


--------schnipp---------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <shellapi.h>
#include <iostream.h>


void main(void)
{
  char c_prg;
  
  printf("Wich program sould be executed: ");
  
  scanf("%s", &c_prg);

  getchar();

  ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(), "open", &c_prg, NULL, NULL, SW_NORMAL); 

  getchar();
  
};
--------------schnapp----------------------------

if i enter a windows prg. this prog terminate with an error (access
violation).


WHY ?


Thank you for your help

Mingw compiler doesn't include lib files like VC++. You will have to do
it manually. Goto Project options and click on Load object files

Look for the file libcomctl32.a in the Lib folder.

This is because you have #define STRICT and therefore you must cast the
parameters. Don;t worry it's easy.

The lines giving the error are

CreateFile(pszFileName, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL,
      OPEN_EXISTING, NULL, NULL);

Just replace it with this one

CreateFile(pszFileName, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, 
         (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES)NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 
         (DWORD)NULL, (HANDLE)NULL);

#define ICC_BAR_CLASSES 4

Among others, this definition is missing from Mingw header. I got an
extra header file from someone, but don't remember the exact URL,
including many features that Mingw does not cover yet.

For some other definitons to work you need to use

#define _WIN32_IE              0x0400  // defines IE version

It's not a Dev-C++ problem, it's just Mingw's characteristics
 
Hope this helps

[Dev-C++] TOOLBAR help

[John <10...@ic...>]

I am new to C++ programming and following tutorial from
www.winprog.org. Every thing in this tutorial worked fine with the
exception of two toolbar examples. Source code for one example is from
toolbar_one.zip . Resouce file will need absolute path for  bmp file
name. In both cases I am getting Linker error:

f:\codelocal\new
folder\newproject\toolbar\toolbar_one.o(.text+0x38f):toolbar_one.c:
undefined reference to `InitCommonControls@0'

I tried to compile toolbar source code  from Dev-C++ example folder (
Dev-C++\Examples\MdiApp ) and got following Compiler error:


f:\codelocal\new folder\new folder\mdiunit.c: In function `BOOL
LoadFile(HWND__ *, CHAR *)':
f:\codelocal\new folder\new folder\mdiunit.c:30: warning: converting
NULL to non-pointer type
f:\codelocal\new folder\new folder\mdiunit.c: In function `BOOL
SaveFile(HWND__ *, CHAR *)':

NULL to non-pointer type
Linker error:
f:\codelocal\new folder\new folder\mdiunit.o(.text+0x323):mdiunit.c:
undefined reference to `InitCommonControls@0'


I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I tried to use new command InitCommonControlsEx ( MSND ToolBar Using )
but no luck. Also, ICC_BAR_CLASSES which should be defined in commctrl.h
(folder Dev-C++\Include\commctrl.h) is not there, all the time it gives
the error of undefined. Can some body tell me how to correct the
ICC_BAR_CLASSES in file commctrl.h.

I already installed twice the Dev-C++ thinking that I might have
corrupted some files, but no difference.
