[Dev-C++] multi-module programming

[carlos D. M. <cg...@wo...>]

I was wondering if there are some site for read about programming which
teachs how to make programs that use more than one exe. So I run one
exe, say the main, and then it calls other exes while running for make
some specific works, and if possible the other exes run hidden from
screen. I searched in some search sites; but, as always, it gives a lot
of sites where I find things I don't want.

/*And either confirm if there is no way of make graphic, although low
quality, with pure c(++), either in console.*/

I am interested either in that utility for convert .a files to .lib
files, it appeared recently in the mail, but I deleted the message by
error, and in web search I found
http://www.acc.umu.se/~anorland/gnu-win32/ which says acces denied. In
its search link I search for reimp(an utility I read in other page does
what I want, but links to the previous site), and lib.exe and link.exe,
which are either said to do so, but no results.

Running code simultaneously is system dependent and is called
concurrency. In Windows this can be done using threads.

I assume by pure C/C++ you mean ANSI C/C++. Graphics is a system
dependent feature, so it is not part of the ANSI C/C++ standard. So you
can create graphics using a C/C++ graphics library. For Windows there is
DirectX, OpenGL e.t.c.. For console there are many too, including
Allegro library. The URL for Allegro is http://www.allegro.cc/ . At
http://www.allegro.cc/files/ there is a distribution for Dev-C++!

[Dev-C++] Re:multi-module programming

Thank you all. I hope the indications about multi module programming to
be enough (sorry my english).
Now it can remain the communication between them, but I'll bother with
that.
But I am trying to learn myself, and it seems the books I read are a
little poor, an exercise says "if the student want to make graphic
output", so I thought, "I never saw this to be part of pure C++, but I'm
learning, and not meet any programmer, perhaps I am wrong and it is" In
dev site I found a link to download BGI. It seems enough, for now (I
don't need draw Gioconda, and allegro... it's good, but seems to have a
little of points that perhaps don't interest me)
Regarding conversion .lib to .a I found a page which said it is done
with
mv file.lib file.a
I did it in my cygwin and it worked. It seems to be a simply rename of
file. So I don't need it yet.
