RE: FW: [Dev-C++] OpenGL with Glut blues...

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I went to the Download Dev-C++ page, clicked on the go to download page
for Dev-C++ 5 (currently beta) link which took me to the download for
4.9.8.0 which continues to give the makefile error. =20
=20
Each time, I uninstalled,  manually removed the devcpp.ini & devcpp.cfg
files and then rebooted.  (Searched through Find Files feature and in
DOS just in case they were hiding around anywhere else.)
Every time it gave the make file error. =20
=20
I have successfully gone back and installed version 4 after deleting out
the files (devcpp.ini & devcpp.cfg) once again. =20
=20
I'm going to see if I can configure the openGL on this version once
again.  A question about the devPaks, can I use the Package Manager to
open them in 4? =20
=20
Thanks,=20
DWW

I really hope you downloaded all of the DevCPP program. I had this once,
that also gave strange behaviour. Please read the download side very
carefully, as it's not very cleare what to install. Also: the on-line
update for the core part of the IDE does not work!
It would be helpfull if there was a list of steps on the web-side as to
what to do to start using this IDE.

It should=20
