[Dev-C++] wxDev-C++ 7.3.0 and Bloodshed's old versions 4.01 and 5 betas (was re: ver. 4.x is supposed to be downloadable from sourceforge ...)

[Kevin R. <pro...@gm...>]

Michal,

Thanks much for the recommendation of wxDev-C++ 7.3.0 and for the links to
the old "bloodshed.net" versions.  (Although the latter are old, C++ is old
too, it doesn't make it obsolete ;-)  )

 Judging by the the http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ description, it seems
that, rather than exactly a successor bloodshed.net's version 4.01 or 5
beta, it is (at least primarily) an addition of a visual designer that
integrates wxWidgets.  Does anybody think taht, for someone who doesn't care
about RAD/visual gui design/wxWidgets capabilities, wxDev-C++ 7.3.0 provides
other useful advances over Bloodshed's 4.x or 5 beta versions?

I had not been aware of wxDev-C++ and had been looking only specifically for
"Bloodshed Dev-C++" which had been recommended as good and free (either the
4.x stable or uncertainly buggy 5 beta, both apparently abandoned
considering, as you say, their age).

Bloodshed's version was recommended for a college course I'm taking
that doesn't cover RAD or probably any GUI design, which probably explains
why it was recommended.

Cheers,

Kevin

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

I would recommend that you take a peek at Code::Blocks instead. A very,
very good IDE, that supports a number of compilers.

I would recomend wxDev-C++ over Dev-C++ 5 betas mainly because of many
bugfixes. I personally don't do wxWidgets development either. Dev-C++ 4
IIRC does not have integrated debugger (it can use external Insight/gdb
debugger).

If all you want is an IDE then look at code:blocks which has Dev-C++ as an
ancestor but is still being maintained.

Code:blocks has very good compiler integration, so you can use any toolset
you like and in fact have multiple installed toolsets to allow for both
native and cross development.
