User Reviews

  • This is freaking virus! Do not download that! It wont work and ur computer will "get hurt" VIRUS!
  • I can't download any software, i don't know what's the problem. i have tried for almost 2 hour download "Mingw and dec cpp", but it did not downloaded the softwares.
  • good, but not good, get orwell dev-c++ update
  • Maybe 6-7 years ago I would have said "Hey, this is an up-to-date and features-rich IDE." But this project is dead. Though wxDev-C++ has been added as a separate project to make Dev-C++ capable of GUI-design, it still doesn't mean you should use it. Dev-C++ is a project that hasn't seen an update since 2005. I can't say that it's not a useful IDE. The main problem (despite all those known and unfixed bugs) is the huge amount of missing features that modern IDEs provide to make the work of a programmer easier and more delightful. For those of you, who say "Wait a minute! Dev-C++ works just fine!", I'd answer - it depends and considering that it covers the bare minimum, it's much better to use an advanced text editor like Notepad++ in combination with gcc (MinGW or Cygwin for Windows) instead, if you don't want cool modern features. Not to mention there is Geany, Code::Blocks, NetBeans etc.
  • very buggy (look at tracker - 358 known bugs)
