Thread: [Dev-C++] Some kind of BUG in DEVCPP

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

While working in DEVCPP (compiling all my source files) I ran into the
message that you may find in the attached file.

Hello !

Yes, some bugs may occurs on version 4.0 and 4.01. As you may know Dev-C++
(and Dev-Pascal) will be rewrote in a couple months, and the IDE will now
work with tab sheets instead of MDI windows for editing source files (the
MDI thing under Windows is quite buggy and not powerful at all). The IDE
will also be ported to Linux, as it is a really more stable system than
Windows, and a very powerful platform to develop on.
But this will need a lot of work to have a stable release of this new
version, so don't expect to see something usable until 3-6 months :-(

Greetings,
Colin

What language and what GUI library will you be using for your Linux port ?

Are you planning on using Linux specific stuff ? I personally use FreeBSD,
so I'd like to be able to port such a project to it.

I guess bSD won't be supported, since Dev-C++ will be rewrote in Kylix
(Delphi for Linux). If Qt is portable to BSD then it maybe we will a chance
to have it work on BSD systems. btw, the kylix compiler will be free.

The compiler will be free to be downloaded, but can one make and sell (or do
whatever) with that free-for-download compiler? Borland has its Win32 C++
compiler free for download but it has a large license agreement which leaves
me the impression that you can not make commercial programs with it and sell
them (or have them free for download, it is the same thing).

Hmm... i don't have a clue about this license yet, the only thing i know is
that the compiler will be free.

It seems to me that it would make sense to write a cross platform 
tool in a language that was supported by most POSIX compliant 
systems. ^^;;

That's just my oppinion.

Yes. but Dev-C++ needs an object oriented approach (C doesn't do this), so
there is two possibilities for me Delphi or C++. I currently prefer to write
it in Delphi since it will speed up development time. Anyway, there is still
a few months of reflexion before this port will be started.

Colin
