[Dev-C++] Running Dev-C++

[Mr. B. C. P. <phu...@gm...>]

When you run your source code, if the compiling is OK, then the console
window appear for a fraction of second and instantly disappear. Now to
execute your .exe file, go to Start > Run > type cmd , then you get your
console window. Now go to DOS prompt, type cd c:\ and it will lead you to
DOS prompt. At DOS prompt type dev-cpp\MyPrograms or in whatever folder you
have saved your . c/.cpp file then type the file name. exe. Hit enter and
your program will be executed. It is always helpful  to make a folder named
MyPrograms  in MinGW under Dev-C++  and save your compiled source codes with
.c/cpp extension. The executed file will automatically be saved in
MyPrograms folder. Whenever you want to run the programs, you can do it from
MyPrograms folder. The console window will remain as long as you want and
can be exited by typing exit at DOS prompt. I hope this will be of some
help.
