Thanks Colins,

I reinstalled 4.0 and unzipped the files in the Dev C++ dir and it is
alright now !

Did you unzip the files in your Dev-C++ version 4 directory ?

Yes, I wasn't very clear. You have to fill '-lwinmm' to the 'further
object files or linker options', and nothing to the compiler options.
This is because only the linker has to know about the library, the
compiler will already see the function by including "mmsystem.h".
('-lwinmm' is a linker option and tells the linker to look for the
libwinmm.a library)

Is there any way curently to create a multi-file project template,
consisting of say, a header file and a C++ file ? This is pretty useful for
most decent sized projects. It would be nice if the wizard could open a
pre-written header and implementation file simultaneously. Any chance of
getting this feature added in the near future ?

- Biswa.

Well, my point was that you need to know a bit of 'C' before using that
particular tutorial :-) In general, though, I agree that given a decent
book, you shouldn't have to learn C to try out C++.

Hi Elias,

thanks for answering.

> You need a 'libwinmm.a', and add '-lwinmm' to further options.

As far as I understand you I have to fill two fields in the
'Project option'-Dialog? (Alt+P)

1st)  'further object files or linker options (seperate by -unreadable-)'
     content in my case:     'absPath\libwinmm.a'

2nd) 'Extra compiler options (only for this project)'
    content in my case:     '-lwinmm'

Compiling is fine but ist seems no linking happens
I get this error message (twice):
'g++: -lwinmm: linker input file unused since linking not done'

Did I get you wrong?

Gregor

try using this.....

system("cls");

I am compiling a dosbox program, but still get this linker error.
C:\DEV-C_~1\LIB\\libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8e): undefined reference
to `WinMain@16'

I can't repeat the error, but it seems that it worked a few times (and I
created a simple exe) but when I removed my main-module, and replaced it
by another I suddenly could not compile anymore.
The main-module is in a separate file.

I have just updated to Dev C++ 4.01. But when i try to start or open a
project, iget thus error messages

"Could not create code completion list file"

and

"could not create default list file."

My opinion: I would prefer that the IDE does NOT include to many big enhancements.
This will only make the program difficult to use and sensitive to bugs. I prefer a
set of loosly connected tools. Not one big all-in-one-box.

It would be nice to have an option to easily compile a program outside the IDE.
Example:
If I want to compile libraries/programs like "V", "wxWindows", "Allegro", "PovLab",
"PovRay" then this is difficult because the programs come with a "makefile" that
must be started from a commandline compiler. It would be nice to start a command
prompt where I could start the compilation of tools like these. Within this
command-prompt (i.e. a dosbox) all environment variables should be set correctly.

Another wish: Being able to generate "makefile" from my project-file.

No you don't need C experience that is a bunch of hooey!! I learned C++
before I ever even learned HTML, BASIC, anything. I have a good
comprehension of it too!!

i see. Currently i won't add big features to Dev-C++ since i'm planning to
rewrote it that it can works on Win32 and Linux, and with language support.
You'll have to wait for some months until big features are added, currently
updtaes will only contains bug fixes and small new features.

I don't know yet which library it will use by default (i think they will be
more considered as modules). I think the Win32 version willbe able to work with
Win32 API + GUI cross platform libraries (gtk, wxwindows...) and the linux
version cross libs only (normal ;)

quite difficult ;) as i said above, i'm not going to write this kind of big
features now :(

In a few months Borland will release Delphi for Linux. They will make the
compiler free so that everybody can use it.

You need a 'libwinmm.a', and add '-lwinmm' to further options.

You should find a file readme.mgw in your allegro directory, which will
tell you everything you need to compile the library. You could try
following the steps given in readme.mgw (and download the mingw compiler
a 2nd time), and then just copy the library and the include files to the
dev-c++ lib/include directories.
Or, you can directly use dev-c++'s compiler to compile. In this case, do
everything in readme.mgw, but skip step 1, and in step 5 and 6, unzip to
your devc++ directory instead into the mingw. Instead of step 7, write
path c:\devc++\bin;%PATH% in the DOS window.
Later, when compiling, instead of  set MINGDIR=c:\mingw32  you have to
use  set MINGDIR=c:\devc++.

If the compilation finds no erros, you should be able to use Allegro by
adding -oalleg to your dev-c++ project.

however.
Try 'The C Programming Language' by K&R. Not available online unfortunately.
A search for 'C tutorial' in google.com might help.

Hi there,

I've got a C/C++-Beginners book wich tells me to use the API-Function
"PlaySound()" in a example which hides in Winmm.lib from VisualC.

Does such a library exsist for Dev-C++?

The dialog 'Project options' offers the possibility to name some
'further object files or linker options ..' but I can't find a 'winmm.o'
on my disk and I got the full release version 4 of Dev-C++ already.

All I have is 'winmm.dll' from Windows and 'winmm.def' from Dev-C++.
Does 'PlaySound()' work with these two?

I did'n manage it :-(

Can anyone help?

Thanks
           Gregor

Hey,
I've just kinda wandered on into C++ and to tell you the truth i have
absolutely no idea how to do anything. Alright i know it's a programming
language and you can create windows applictions and consoles etc. But i
wouldn't know the first thing to go about learning it. I was wondering if
anyone knew of any really good and simple online tutorials or the best way
to learn. I don't know any coding. I do know HTML (not that that's any help)
and a little Visual Basic but not enough to really understand what i'm

Thanks, Peter

Is this for the same reason I can't get ShellAbout compiled ?

Actually, all you have to do is go to project / project options, and  =
under 'further object files or linker options' type in =
C:\Dev-C++\Lib\conio.o

Still including conio.h in the program itself, clrscr() should work =
then.  =3Do
