[Dev-C++] Vista Problem

[Benson M. <ben...@gm...>]

Hello,

Is there anyone who would come in handy to help me diagnose whatever is
happening to my Dev C++ compilation.

I am running on a windows Vista platfrom (which really sacks)! I have
installed Deve C++ and it's successfully compiling the code without any
erros or warnings but the exe file does not run!

Kindly help me.

The compilation result is as follows....

 Compiler: Default compiler
Compiler: Default compiler
Executing  g++.exe...
g++.exe "C:\Users\Benson\Desktop\test.cpp" -o
"C:\Users\Benson\Desktop\test.exe"
-I"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\include"
-I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\backward"
-I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\mingw32"  -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2"
-I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include"   -L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib"
Execution terminated
Compilation successful

Kind Regards

Benson

What does it say when you try to run it?

Find the executable and run it using the Windows DOS prompt.  That
should tell you some more detailed things about exactly why it's
misbehaving.

If you don't remember DOS, a little tiny primer:

DIR = shows contents of current directory
CD = change directory

I forgot how to run stuff in DOS...  haven't used it in a while :)

I would suggest creating a small batch file that you can double-click
to execute the program, and then creating a shortcut to it on your
desktop.  Or make it a "external tool" you can execute from DevC++.
Or both...

Re: [Dev-C++] Vista Problem

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Have you tested with a simple hello-world application?

Right now, all we know is that you have a file text.cpp and that you don't
get any errors when generating the test.exe. Then you say that test.exe
doesn't run.

We really do need more information, to be able to help.

I believe the problem to be the way that DevC++ tries to execute
external things.  I know that a lot of junk changed in Vista with
regards to application access controls, so it might be running into a
UAC block.

Just a theory, I don't own Vista and only beta tested it for a few
weeks, and never with DevC++.  YMMV.

Perhaps some kind of DEP problem ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention

Quote:
"In some instances, Data Execution Prevention can have the unintended consequence of 
preventing legitimate software from executing. In these cases, the affected software 
needs to be flagged as being allowed to execute code in those parts of memory, but 
this itself leads to a possible attack if the application isn't rigorous in 
validating data that is passed into a region of memory that is marked as being 
executable."

Re: [Dev-C++] Vista Problem

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Hold your horses. Don't make life so complicated!

We are not talking about self-modifying code, or trying to execute code
from data or stack segments.

M$ Windoze do close console applications as soon as they end - unless they
are started from a command line. M$ own tools have a workaround built-in
for this case. Dev-C++-generated console applications needs their own
workaround.
