[Dev-C++] Newbie on compiling GNU packages/libraries

[Lars-Bo J. <la...@fo...>]

Hi All

I would like to use an external package (GNU gsl 1.3) with Dev-C++, it come
as source files an requires to be compiled by using Configure and Make. Does
anyone know of a guide or howto that would guide me through this process, my
worries /question is.

Can I be compiled with Dev-C++ version 4.9.7.4 with Mingw included? If yes
how to do it.
How do I tell Dev-C++ to use such a library?

As a newbie, am I over my head here?

The article "software building HOWTO" deals with the task of building a 
package from its source. However, it comes from the Linux world, so
don't know if it is of help on a Windows system. Probably you will need
things like "MinGW msys" package or CygWin. I have never tried this
myself.

The latest version of the article should be available on:
