[Dev-C++] Extending Dev C++

[Landon B. <lb...@ks...>]

I'm in the process of learning how to program in C, and I'm ready to
choose an IDE for my development on Windows 32. I've tried out Dev C++,
which I really like. However, I would like an IDE that I can extend.
That leads me to ask a couple of questions:

1. What language is Dev C++ written in? The web site said something
about Delphi 6. Is that a variant of C/C++, or is it another language
entirely?
2. Does Dev C++ have a plug-in model?
3. Is there a website for Dev C++ developers, or is membership to the
development team closed?

Thanks,

Landon

DevC is written in Delphi, which is another language, not related to C/C++

>2. Does Dev C++ have a plug-in model?

No, not that i'm aware of.

There is this list, and there is a forum...
You can contact the authors, for current development status...

There has not been a release of DevC/C++ for over 12 months.
It would be surprising to find an active development on this program.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Delphi is an Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), much as Visual Studio and KDE are IDEs.
Its preferred language, and the language in which Dev-C++ is written, is
Object Pascal.  I did a quick inspection of the source tree: there are
206  source files in Pascal and 73 forms.  While interesting from a
technical and intellectual perspective, the effort seeems daunting.  I
see that there is move afoot to port KDE to Windows
(http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=507276).  I would
recommend keeping an eye on that.

Yeah, though DevC++ does have a package installer that you could build
packages for, however, I think that if we're going to save DevC++ it's
going to end up being a community effort that'll wrest control of the
project from its current owner, who most likely isn't doing that much
on it that he/she -'s ready to disclose.

Re: [Dev-C++] Extending Dev C++

Judging from your questions, I think Code::Blocks (http://codeblocks.org)
would be right up your alley. C++/wxwindows, a plug-in architecture and eve=
n
developed by on of the Dev-C++ devs!

Does Code blocks, do anything that DevC/C++ does or does not do?
I actually like quite like DevC/C++ for a editor and compiler.

I do notice on the Code Blocks page it mentions...
Multiple Compiler Support.... (which may be handy)

That sounds cool, can i use MS's compiler with DevC/C++ ???
I'm a bit afraid to try and update Ming, with DevC++

Cheers,

Re: [Dev-C++] Extending Dev C++

[Josh M. <mrl...@gm...>]

Code::Blocks does everything Dev-C++ does, and more.  Dev-C++, you can set
it up to use the MS compiler but it's tricky.  Code::Blocks supports it (an=
d
all compile options) right out of the box.  Code::Blocks also has support
for workspaces and compile targets, both of which are missing from Dev-C++.

Hello,

I have been using DevC++ for a while to compile
C++/OpenGL/SDL/wxWidgets programs. I just wanted to let you know some
thoughts about the comments on this thread:


@lordSauron:

I think that is not a big problem, it is only a matter of doing a Fork
of the current version. I know there is at least one fork called
wxDevCpp, which incorporates wxWidgets RAD.
( http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ ), and it seems the last release was
on 2005-07-15.

I have tried Code::Blocks, and although I find it promizing, IMO it
steel feels likea beta. I have used it. One neat feature is the
support of devpaks, which I find a really useful thing in DevC++.

Personally I would love to see activity in the DevC++ IDE, but it
seems that with the release of the free version of Visual Studio
Express edition (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/ ) Microsoft is
making a direct competition against this software.

Anyway, CodeBlocks seems very promizing, and it is available for
Linux! so I think it will be the one IDE which will replace DevC++.

I read the informaiton and it seems it is a just starting effort.
Anyway, what they are porting is the KDE desktop environment, we would
still need to wait and see if Kdevelop (the programming IDE) is
proted.

I have used Kdevelop but I find it very obstrusive and not as
straightforward as DevC++ or CodeBlocks. (Even Anjuta).
