Are you aware that all development of Dev-C++ has been down for a number of years now? May I recommend that you take a closer look at the Code::Blocks IDE instead? It is a full-featured environment that supports multiple configured tool chains making it easy for you to use cross-compilers for some projects, and native compilers for other projects. It also has better debugger integration, when used with the MinGW compiler to build native applications. /pwm On Thu, 1 Oct 2009, Jerry Evans wrote: > Hello > > I'm using 4.9.9.2 on Windows 7 with gcc m68k cross compilation tools. > DevC++ is excellent for the task and the beta version has pretty much > worked flawlessly.
