Re: [Dev-C++] wxDev-C++ 7.3.0 and Bloodshed's old versions 4.01 and 5 betas (was re: ver. 4.x is supposed to be downloadable from sourceforge ...)

[Derek C. <de...@ci...>]

If all you want is an IDE then look at code:blocks which has Dev-C++ as an
ancestor but is still being maintained.

Code:blocks has very good compiler integration, so you can use any toolset
you like and in fact have multiple installed toolsets to allow for both
native and cross development.
