[Dev-C++] compile problems - please help

[Zachary U. <ne...@st...>]

I installed the full Dev-C++ 4.9.60 package and then used the Update 
facility to upgrade to Dev-C++ 4.9.7.0. I have the Win32 build with the 
Mingw compiler (g++).

My problem is that the compiler doesn't seem to be able to find all my 
source files or it is building in some other directory. Here is the steps I 
took for this project:

C:\Dev-Cpp is root directory where Dev-C++ is installed

I clicked  File-> New-> Project.

It brought up the "New project" dialog box .

Under Basic I selected Console Application

Under Project options I selected entered graph-adj for Name and selected 
C++ Project.

Then it brought up the "Create new project" dialog box.

For File name I entered "C:\Dev-cpp\graph-adj.dev".

Then it brought up the Project window. So it listed Project: graph-adj and 
had a main.cpp default file in there. I removed that file and
then  I clicked "Add to Project" and selected the following files to add to 
my project:
graph-adj.cpp, graph-adj.h, & main.cpp

These files I had earlier copied into the directory C:\Dev-cpp.
I also copied  matrix.h and graph.txt which my graph-adj program uses into 
this directory.

I went to the Execute menu and selected Compile.

It compiles and I get the following 5 errors:

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win"
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win" all
g++.exe -c main.cpp -o main.o -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"

In file included from graph-adj.h:12,
                  from main.cpp:9:
matrix.h: In method `Matrix<Type>::Matrix(int, int, const Type &)':
matrix.h:76: parse error before `)'

g++.exe -c graph-adj.cpp -o graph-adj.o 
-I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"

In file included from graph-adj.h:12,
                  from graph-adj.cpp:8:
matrix.h: In method `Matrix<Type>::Matrix(int, int, const Type &)':
matrix.h:76: parse error before `)'

g++.exe main.o graph-adj.o  -o "graph-adj.exe" 
-L"C:/DEV-CPP/lib"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"

G__~1.EXE: main.o: No such file or directory
G__~1.EXE: graph-adj.o: No such file or directory
G__~1.EXE: No input files

Execution terminated


The first error: "In file included from graph-adj.h:12," points to the 
statement:
#include "matrix.h"

The second error: "In file included from main.cpp:9:" points to the statement:
#include  "graph-adj.h"

Both these errors appear twice.

The fifth error "In method `Matrix<Type>::Matrix(int, int, const Type &)':" 
is I believe
because for some reason the compiler cannot find the header file matrix.h 
where this Matrix class
is defined.

ALso notice the compiler says it cannot find main.o, graph-adj.o or any 
input files.

So what is the procedure for compiling a new project and how do I tell it 
where my source files
are and where to build them?

Ideally I want the project to be in some other directory such as 
C:\c++\projects\graph-adj\

BTW this same code compiled fine in Linux using g++ from command line. I 
also tried adding matrix.h to my Dev-C++ Project window but I still get the 
same errors.

Zach
