[Dev-C++] Using dev-cpp with cross compiler?

[Massimo R. <m.a...@li...>]

Hello everybody,
I' ve just started to have a look of dev-cpp and I'm wondering if anyone =
has experience in using it with a cross compiler. In particular I'm =
interested in using it in association with mcc68k compiler.=20
Thank you for any information.

Hi Massimo,

The idea of being a front-end to Gnu Gcc compiler seems to be hardcoded
within Dev-C++, so to use it with some other compiler you could:

 - modify the source code (I'm not sure, but this could require some 
   knowledge of Pascal)

 - use some external program which turns instructions Dev-C++ sends to
   Gnu Gcc into instructions that your other compiler understands

this latter approach is one which Abhijit Shylanath as explored in more
depth by his "dev_star" project. You may find out more about it, by
