RE: [Dev-C++] Newbie question

[Jim W. <ma...@em...>]

I was able to compile it using Dev-C++ 4.9.5.0 (that is, after I changed
in nNumberofArgs to int nNumberof Args).

Try uninstalling Dev-C++ and reinstall it in a path without ++ in it.

Example (this is my path): E:\Dev\Cxx\Dev-Cpp

OK, I just downloaded the 4.9.5 Beta version of Dev-C++, the one that
includes Mingw and GDB 5.  I am using the book "C++ for Dummies" to try
to teach myself C++.  My ultimate goals are to be able to write a chess
program and some simulation software (chess for fun, simulations for
work, as I am a statistician).

I entered the program:

/*  Program to convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celcius degrees
*/ #include <stdio.h> #include <iostream.h>

int main(in nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
    /*  enter the temperature in Celcius  */
    int celcius;
    cout << "Enter the temperature in Celcius:";
    cin >> celcius;
    
    /*  calculate the conversion from Celcius to Fahrenheit  */
    int factor;
    factor = 212 - 32;
    int fahrenheit;
    fahrenheit = factor * celcius/100 + 32;
    cout << "Fahrenheit value is:";
    cout << fahrenheit;
    
    return 0;
}

and when I tried to compile it, I got an error.  The last element in the
log file before compiling stopped was the "-L 'C:\Program
Files\C++\Dev-C++\lib' execution terminated" message.  When I tried to
use the Debug feature, there was an error saying that GDB.exe couldn't
be located.  Furthermore, when I use the update feature in the Tools
menu, I get the error
"Error: your devcpp.cfg file is missing."

If anyone could point out what I need to do to get up and running, I
would really appreciate it.  Do I need to change anything in the PATH
environmental variable to point at some of these files?

Thanks in advance,
