[Dev-C++] QUESTIONS FROM A NEWBIE

[Peter K. <pw...@st...>]

I am very much a C++ newbie trying to get up to speed! I hope I can bother
you for a few answers.....

I have just started with Dev C++ 4.9.2. When compiling I am getting errors
like:

7 //C/MYPROGS/FLTKTest/Hello1/Hello1.cpp
undefined reference to `Fl_Window::Fl_Window(int, int, char const *)'

As far as I can see I have properly included headers etc and nominated the
correct library/header etc paths in Dev C++, so I am not sure why these
errors. A number of questions:

1. I am running on Win 98. Am a bit confused about whether to use / or \ for
file path separators in my source code and also include paths in Dev C++
IDE. As far as I understand, UNIX and DOS use different separators.

2. Do I need to keep my directory names to 8 characters or less with no
spaces? (again a carryover from DOS or UNIX).

3. Is there any documentation listing the error messages and explanations
for DEV C++?
