[Dev-C++] Compiling problems

[Matthews <dem...@uw...>]

I recently started having problems with the compile feature of Dev-C++
(4.9.8.0 & 4.9.8.1)  I have the MinGW pack installed in C:\MinGW and
Dev-C++ should reference all programs from the /bin dir, but when I press
F9 and the compiler window pops up, it says "..." where it should say
"Compiling..."  A make process starts, but doesn't do anything except crash
Windows when I try to terminate it.  This all happened when I tried to get
BorlandC++ 3.0 to work with Dev-C++, and reinstalling MinGW or Dev-C++
won't change this problem.

Help appreciated :D

I'm not sure if I can help. However, to begin with, could you give 
some detail about which actions you have taken to have Dev-C++ work 
with the Borland compiler?

Also, look into the directory where you installed Dev-C++, there you
should find (I'm speaking about 4.9.8.0 here, things shouldn't have
changed within the latest beta) the two files: "DEVCPP.ini" and 
"devcpp.cfg", these hold some settings which are used by the IDE:
what's in there? I mean, do you still have the paths stemming from
"c:\borland" (I guess) or have you placed the ones pointing to Gcc?

It sounds strange that reinstalling Dev-C++ hasn't fixed the problem.

It could be that reinstalling didn't fix the problem, because for some
versions of Windows (the newer ones in the NT series -- 2000 / XP / etc)
the configuration files are stored elsewhere, and unfortunately don't
get deleted along with the uninstall. On these operating systems, it's
best to hunt them down and delete them yourself (after the uninstall
process)... they can be found in the "Documents and Settings\<username>"
directory somewhere, I'd suggest using Search/Find to locate these. Make
sure you tell it to look in hidden folders as well, because that's where
these files are.

The bin paths are correct (c:\mingw\bin) and the program fields are filled
in with gcc.exe, etc.  Using the programs through msys 1.0 works fine.  And
I'm on WinME, so the config files are stored in the dev-c++ directory.
