dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++

Hi,

first thanks for the tip on SHFOLDER.DLL, Abhijit, now I can start
Dev-C++.

I have just begun using Dev-C++ (the most recent version) and have run
into some peculiar problems. When I try to compile a project with
sufficiently many files (it does not occur for small projects), I get
strange error messages when linking that in the "compiler" folder could
show up as

line
file
Message
G__~1.EXE         D:\PROGRAM\DEV-CPP\G__~1.EXE
Source2D:\Program\Dev-Cpp: No such file or directory

or in the "compile log" folder as

G__~1.EXE: Source2D:\Program\Dev-Cpp: No such file or directory

Here "Source2" is part of the name of a directory where I keep my source
code, and for some reason the string "D:\Program\Dev-Cpp" is appended to
this. I have no clue as to what to do. I have got other error messages
as well but I do not have time or space to list them all, common with
them all is that they are difficult to understand and occurs in the
context of large projects (that is my feeling at least).

Is Dev-C++ known to be unstable for large projects or am I using it in
the wrong way. Is the gcc 2.95 version better? I have used the source
code for many years on a several Unix platforms (including with GNU g++)
so it should compile. If anyone have a cure for this I would be very
happy.

Oh, by the way...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hello,

Just to rectify something, you can consider that there is *NO* Dev-C++ for 
Linux that exists, the only version that is downloadable is *totally* 
unusable.

I recently tried to experiment with c++ specific functions, but I got 72
errors in the default generated code when selecting c++ console app as a
project.  It says I don't have c++config.h, so I tried re-installing
4.9.7.0, and had the same problem.  Normal C code works fine though.  Where
can I find c++config.h?

The problem I get is when evaluating my input, I get errors....c++ permits
me to evaluate a single character but not string of characters.
----------------------------

Strings are actually arrays (which are actually pointers). So if you're
comparing these (remember that strings have to be put in quotes):

    char my_name[] = "Abhijit";
    char your_name[] = "Dondolo";

you would actually be comparing the pointers. You need to compare each
character. There is already a library function called strcmp(), which
compares them.

strcmp(first, second)

returns > 0 if first > second
        < 0 if first < second
        = 0 if first == second.

stricmp() is the case-insensitive version.

They're defined in <cstring>, and to access them, you would use the using
declaration:

using std::strcmp;
using std::stricmp; // Whichever

in the scope in which you want to use it (within the function, global,
etc.).

So I would say,

    if(stricmp(my_name, your_name) == 0)
        cout << "Hey, you're me!\n";

All this should have been written in the book you use (I assume you use a
book). If you don't have one, I suggest you get yourself a trustworthy book.
Post on this list for more info. Ioannis mentioned http://www.accu.org/ as a
site for reviews. I haven't seen it myself, I'm just recycling posts. Saving
the (integrated development) environment (mailing-list) and stuff...

PS: It should be cin >> name, not <<. I think that was a typo.

HTH.
And, yeah... Wish y'all a Happy New Year 2003.

Are you sure, Oroszi? Because, the license says derivative works. So I
assume that's only derivative libs. Since I'm in feeling very weird today,
I'll use the analogy of derived classes...

class libc
{
};

class my_program
{
    protected:
        libc lib_interface;
};

class my_lib : public libc
{
};

So I assume here that only my_lib should distribute sources. my_program is
not required to, because I only use the lib, I don't derive from it.

AFAIK, the libraries are a separate project. The web-page for libc++ is
http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/

Also,
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/documentation.html,
the documentation page links to a GNU GPL, so I guess the libs are GPL.

Bad news?

Anyway, Have a Happy New Years'.

The Windows version is released under the GNU GPL too. I believe you are
misinterpreting the above section, 1b. Any program you DERIVE from or that
CONTAINS code from Dev-C++ must be released under the GNU GPL too. NOT
programs you create with it. (Yes, you are free to change and redistribute
GPL'd programs, just credit the original work to the original authors.)

Do you see the difference? In one scenerio you are stealing someone else's
code, in the other you are using it as a tool to create your own.

I suppose the question is, are the libraries under linux GPL or LGPL. If GPL, it 
means you must release the source, because it contains functions from the 
libraries. If LGPL, then you don't need to release the source.

Well, lets just call it MinGW, because it will support 64 bit and higher systems 
too. And yes, MinGW is available as a cross-compiler under Linux. So you can 
develop Windows programs under Linux. (And test it with wine (Win Emulator) :)

Hi all,

I am wiggling my way around C++ currently, I am not doing a bad job at all.
(Well at least I think)...I am trying to write a simple telephone directory
system that will store all my buddies contact details. I intend on storing
their info in separate functions. for example:
                                                        void
MarkContact(void)
                   				{
						//Marks contact details
                                                            }

				and so on.....

I want to be able to open the program, enter someone's name and get their
stored details. The problem I get is when evaluating my input, I get
errors....c++ permits me to evaluate a single character but not string of
characters.

e.g.
                                 /*

			all include files			
                                    and declarations

                           */
                   cout<<"Please enter a persons name";
                    cin<<Name;
              switch(Name)
                        {
                        case   Mark:                      
                                          MarkContact();
                                         break;
//the rest of the program

can someone please help me or advise me of any other method.........
Thanks guys

I fail to understand what the clause in the license has to do with the Linux
version being different. I haven't ever seen it, though, so maybe I'm
missing something. Isn't it free? Isn't it too distributed under the GNU
GPL?

Or are you talking about the commercial-applications part? If that's the
case, then I don't think there's any conflict. As I understand, when they
talk about works derived from Dev, they mean programs that use, in part or
whole, the source-code or ideas of Dev, not programs that are developed
using the Dev IDE. Also, there is the distinction between IDE and compiler,
and Dev is merely the IDE. The compiler, MinGW32, is an independant project.
It stands for Minimalistic GNU for Win32, and is meant for developing
programs on the Windows32 platform. So, obviously, it is not available on
Linux (except maybe as a cross-compiler, I've never ventured in that Part Of
The World).

Did I understand wrong?

Once again, a Happy New Year to everyone (I'm going to keep saying this for
some time... so try not to get irritated :).

Somewhere in the documentation author of Dev-C++ is claiming that
Bloodshed Dev-C++ can be used for developing commercial applications.
It is very OK :) But...

The documentation for Dev-C++ Linux states that this is a GNU project
and included GNU licence file has a very widely used statement:

That means that Linux version is different ? Why ?
I guess Mingw32 is not implemented on Linux, am I correct ?

There are probably many differences in the standards that Turbo-C implmented
and the current C++ standards that GCC 3.2/2.95 use. The <foo.h> headers are
also deprecated and GCC might refuse to compile programs using 'em
(depending on what version you have and how it's configured). Instead,
you'll have to use <cfoo> and the `using' directive. GCC will warn you about
main() not returning int, since I remember that many TC programs used simply
`main()', in place of `int main()'. Also, there are the differences in
memory-management (far-pointers, segments and offsets versus the linear
memory model). Furthermore, DOS interrupts are unavailable in Win32. And
programs that assume word-length to be equal to integer length will have
problems (in Win32, word-length is short-integer length). For BGI, I
remember reading on this list that there's a port for Windows available
called WinBGI or something. Check the archives. For programs with <conio.h>,
there's an entry in the FAQ.

That's all I can think of now. Most of the (simple) examples should be
pretty straightforward to port. Simply try to compile, and try to rectify
one error at at time.

HTH.

And people, have a safe, but otherwise chaotic, New Years'.

What must I do to make these compile or what are tips/techniques to port 
the code to some Win32 compilable code?

I can post some sample code if you want.

Try linking in the WinSock2 lib, as Charles mentioned.

For this, you might want to use the command-line/make, or else, specify in
compiler options that you want the WinSock lib to be linked with all your
programs. Remove it once you're done with this project. Bit of a hassle.
Command-line would be better.

wxwindows2.3.3 works with gcc3.2 (the official wxwindows from 
www.wxwindows.org, not the packages, I never achieved to make them 
work), and using makefiles, search in the mailing list for makeprog.g95.

Thanks,
I decided for the first option because I have no preferrence regarding the
compiler.
I also thank Yeoh for his help in a direct mail.
I made it to compile an empty project.

It stopped again when I tried to compile thewxWindows samples.
I imported the MS VC Realease project of some of them but failed to link
"libz".

I've got a "libzlib.a" from DevC++4(just for a try), but got unlninked
functions (part follows):
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(app.o)(.text+0x447): undefined reference to
`InitCommonControls@0'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(app.o)(.text+0x451): undefined reference to
`OleInitialize@4'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(app.o)(.text+0x102a): undefined reference to
`OleUninitialize@0'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(statbr95.o)(.text+0x3ee): undefined reference to
`CreateStatusWindowA@16'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(utils.o)(.text+0x31e): undefined reference to
`WSAStartup@8'
C:/IDE/DEVCPP5/lib/libwx.a(utils.o)(.text+0x348): undefined reference to
`gethostname@8'
etc...
I probably have to link some windows specific lib. Which?

I found it strange that didn't found resources defined in wx/msw/wx.rc
I defined an prolog to absolute folder location for every resource and now
it works.
Shouldn't it get it from the include folders list?

I also upgraded to 4.7.9.1 and found some new GUI bugs there.
Does it have some side effects on compiling/linking, too?

Regards,

My apologies.

against such will report a library mismatch..

Adding the compiler option "-D__WXDEBUG__" to the application solves the 
problem when linking to a debug build of the wxWindows lib.

Hi Goran,

After many hours of frustration I've come to the conclusion that the 
default wxWindows 2.2.9 package will not work with Dev-C++ 4.7.9.x/gcc 
3.2.  I believe you have two choices:

1)  Use Dev-C++ 4.7.9.x/gcc 2.9.5.  A fresh installation will allow for 
a build of the provided example.  Should you install the upgrade for 
v4.7.9.1, be sure to copy and paste the "Compiler" flags to the "C++ 
compiler" list box (under Project Options->Compiler->Compiler Options).

2)  If you want to use the gcc 3.2 version, I could find only one 
solution:  build a new wxWindows lib from the source provided at the 
official wxWindows web site (located at 
http://www.wxwindows.org/dl_msw2.htm).  This was actually a 
frighteningly straight-forward procedure, except that that a debug build 
of the library will not work -- an executable linked against such will 
report a library mismatch.  I used the 2.3.4 snapshot and built a 
Unicode release-level static lib and all appears well.  Be sure to 
remove the existing wxWindows package and perhaps even the "Image 
Library" package as the wxWindows source includes that for libpng, 
libjpeg, libtiff, and libzlib.  Otherwise, watch out for lib 
conflicts...  In addition, you'll have to perform the aforementioned 
compiler flag copy.

Good luck to you.  If you need any further help, I'll be happy to 
provide it.

Regards,
Marshall

In the linker options, where one adds libraries, I have this:

C:/Dev-Cpp/lib/libws2_32.a

for my winsock2 projects

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt responses!

I should have mentioned in my earlier that I did try adding the -lwsock32
option to the linker command line.I tried it once again though and the
result was the same as before.The undefined reference error to WSAStartup
error still shows up.

Also I would like to run this a stand alone  file (not a project). Any
suggestions?
Thanks in advance once again for your help.

Regards,
Manoj.

Just because a file is present in the `lib' directory, doesn't mean that
it'll be linked in. You need to add it to your the list of libraries the
linker must add. Add `-lwsock32' to the linker command-line. Any lib by the
name `libfoo.a' in the `lib' directory has to/can be linked in using -lfoo.

HTH.

    Just add "c:\Dev-c++\Lib\libwsock32.a" (supposing you have Dev-c++
installed on drive C) in the project options, under "Further object files or
linker options".
