[Dev-C++] vUpdate can't find devcp.cfg

[Frank W. <F.W...@wi...>]

Hello,

I'm working on NT4SP6 and run vUpdate.
After updating a new start of vUpdate leads to an Error that said:

Error: devcpp.cfg not found Please check ...

I checked these folders and I copied devcpp to all that directories I
thought they could take affect.
Devcpp.cfg is in the root directory of Dev-C++ and at serveral
locations in C:\WinNt\profiles...\Application Data.
But the Error is still present even if I restart Dev-C++.

How can this be fixed?

Greetings

Frank

Hello,

With Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0 the config file directory has changed for NT, 2000 and 
XP. You need to update your vUpdate to have it look for the correct directory.
If you cannot autoupdate it, you can download it from :

The  problem  is  that  the new vUpdate is the version that can't find
devcpp.cfg! I'll guess that it's using SHGetSpecialFolderLocation with
CSIDL_APPDATA but somehow it will not find the file!!!

Maybe the file has changed name?

I  have  copied  the  devcpp.cfg  file  to the directory specified for
CSIDL_APPDATA  and  since I am on a Swedish Windows I have also copied
it to C:\Docume~1\User\Local Settings\Application Data
But ...

So I, and many with me, would appreciate if someone that has access to
the code can have a look and see what's goin on!

[Dev-C++] Setting Up Tools

[Charles <cha...@at...>]

I need some guidance in the implementation of Tools.  I got the idea of
invoking some source code beautifier utility such as Great Code or Artistic
Style as a Tool.  They both work fine from the command line but I'm having
some trouble getting them to work from within Dev-C++.

I think that I want to use an Available Macro to specify the file to be
worked on.  The Quick Help on Macros doesn't give me enough information to
go on.  Can anybody tell me when to find documentation on the Tools
Configuration?

I'm running Dev-C++ version 4.9.6.5 (and 4.01) under Windows 98SE and have a
devcpp.hlp file current as of yesterday.
