dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++ (Page 2)

Hi,

I am trying to compile a simple winsock program using Dev-C++ and get the
following error
[Linker error] undefined reference to WSAStartup@8. I tried generating my
own libwsock32.a   library using the wsock32.dll on  my system with the help
of the dllwrap utility and linking it to my program by copying the generated
.a file to the lib directory but the error stayed the same.

I also tried using an older version of wsock32.dll (since I have the latest
version of the dll) and it may not be compatible with the header files as
supplied by Dev-C++. But this gave me the same undefined reference error.

As a last resort I tried using the header files supplied by the Microsoft
SDK instead of the include directory header files as supplied by Dev-C++. I
get a target architecture must be defined error. An attempt to #define
_M_IX86 which is the macro that needs to be defined leads to further errors,
so I would prefer not to go down that path further.

Can anyone suggest what else can be done to get a very simple winsock
program to work. I have the XP OS on a Pentium machine.

Regards,
Manoj.

LOL!
first: for such questions you should use genereal discussion groups,
this one is dedicated for DevC++... if you are form Poland (tak jak

second: I use this simple method:
char strInfo[ 100 ];
float fPi = 3.1415926;
sprintf( strInfo, "%f", fPi );
remember to include <stdio.h>

and if you really want to use string class then do this similar to

strstream input;

Subject: [Dev-C++] trim / sub string


Hi,

Another problem to solve.. i wish to make a routine which gives me a
substring or trimmed down on the following
conditions that i can start from anypoint in the string untill the offset is
reached. so for example

mytext = "this is a test";
result = substring(mytext,6,2);

result would now have to contain the 2nd word "is"...

--------------------------------

You can use pointer arithmetic to reach characters. For example,
    mytext + 5
will access the string from `is' onwards (uptil the NULL character).

To copy it into another buffer, you need to copy from the above location
until the number of characters specified have been exhausted. For example,

char *substring(const char *orig, char *buf, int offset, int len)
{
    for(unsigned i = 0; i < len; ++i)
        buf[i] = orig[i + offset];

    buf[i] = 0; // NULL terminator
    return buf; // For convenience
}

This is a zero-based function, so

mytext = "this is a test";
substring(mytext, result, 5, 2);

Would give a resultant buffer containing `is'.

HTH.

Hi,

I just downloaded the Dev-C++ package (most recent version) and
installed it on my computer. When I tried to run the program the file
shfolder.dll could not be found and consequently it did not run. I'm not
an expert on Windows but I guess something is missing that has to do
with my Windows installation (am I right?). I am running Windows 98 and
wonder if anyone has got a hint on what I must do to be able to run
Dev-C++?

/thom

As a result of past years experience and current demmands I came to a
decision to use DevC++ and wxWindows to have a multi platform development
environment.

I had some problems using DevC++.4 I added some defines(like -D__WXMSW__)
patched some *.h files (I know it's not the supposed procedure) in order to
make some projects run.
 But it become almost imposible when I came to the point of using wxWindows.
When if finally mannaged to compiled it failed to link(wx32.lib) It failed
also with BCC5.5 because was no wx32.lib on the disk.
 After that I tried to recompile wxW but failed on some parser.y file. Then
I gave up.

I tried on W2k and later on a plain Win98. I also downloaded DevC++5(4.9.7.0
with gcc 3.2), but this doesn't compile even added examples. Another try was
Detlev Reymann's page "wxWindows and Dev-C++" - failure again (not blaimming
Reymann anyhow). Currently the machine has installed DevC++ 4 and 5, Borland
C++ 5.5, mini IDE, small IDE, VIDE, Chimera IDE, Mingw 2.0 with gcc 3.2.

Anyone has some idea or procedure how to install and setup DevC++ 4
(preferably 5) in order to work with wxW?

Regards,
Goran

Using the 4.9.7.1 Devc++ with the gcc3.2 version.

I have a .cpp file that has:

const char foo[2] =3D {1,0} ;



Later, I have a file that does the following:

extern const char foo[2] ;



And then uses foo.


I get linker errors about undefined symbol foo.

Anyone else see this issue?

or if you know how to "build" a new string, which in my thought has to =

mytext =3D "this is a test";

mytext ++ ( 5 times) to set a pointer somehow to the 5th char in the =
string.

subtext =3D subtext + pointer to mytext

mytext ++ (1 time) to go to the next char in the string

subtext =3D subtext + point to mytext

which will give me "is" in the subtext...



I could find decent material while searching the internet..  normaly, in =

Me idiot!!! Remember Mr Rockstock XXIII? I say all that to myself and

I used the pointers in a function inside the constructor I called before

function that I used.)

All them are void func(void**); The comment is continued in the next
line, I forgot taking into account the posible wrapping of the text.
Anyway I know the alternative I was citing is wrong.

funny *function stuff? Does it means say funny *function; and then
function = new funny[number]? I do it. (No spam)

   >Then inside another function:

   >(this->*function[cuantos])(NULL);

   >NULL is deprecated in C++. Also you forgot some parenthesis. You

   >(this->*classname::function[cuantos])(0);
The parenthesis are there.


I didn't say all functions are private.
I used the modifications you pointed, still access violation, when 
calling the function.
...
cout << "Here!" << endl;
(this->*(classname::)cion[index])(param);
...
The output:
...
Here!
Program.exe has generated errors, it will be closed by windows, you'll 
have to restart it.
I tried some compiler options (-vtable-gc, and other) but no resul.

Hello!

> Windows uses GetCurrentDirectory()
Well, you have to be careful with this function, because it not always gives the 
directory, where the program executable is! Whenever you press enter (or 
double-click) on a file, which is associated to your program, then the current 
directory will be the dir, where the associated file is, NOT the dir of your 
exe! This can be annoying, when you want to write config-files. To retrieve your 
programs path, use __argv[0]. This contains the path to your program (for 
example: "C:\myprog\myprog.exe"). The other __argv[] elements contain the 
command-line arguments.

Hope that helps.

  Hi:
I am trying to use the title of the message.
I declare:
class{
...

typedef void (classname::*funny)(void**);  //I tried either void 
(classname::*function[19])(void**);
funny *function; OR funny function[19];
};

Then
class::class(){
function = new funny[19];
function[0] = &class::function1_name;
:
function[18] = &class::function19_name;
}


Then inside another function:
int cuantos = rand() % 19;
(this->*function[cuantos])(NULL);
                                           ^-- Or &void_pointer_*,  or 
void_pointer_**, or (void**)int_pointer_**, set to NULL or not 
initialized or initialized.
I read this is the correct way for doing this, and 
(this->*function[cuantos]) is the only syntax the compiler accepts.
When it's time to use the function it crashes.
Right now all the functions are:

void class::functionx(void** tas){
cout << "functionx" << endl;
}

What I see in my code is done as "Thinking in C++" says it must be done.

----------------------------

Windows uses GetCurrentDirectory()

------- From docs ---------
The GetCurrentDirectory function retrieves the current directory for the
current process.

DWORD GetCurrentDirectory(

    DWORD  nBufferLength, // size, in characters, of directory buffer
    LPTSTR  lpBuffer  // address of buffer for current directory
   );
Parameters

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value specifies the number of
characters written to the buffer, not including the terminating null
character.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError().

If the buffer pointed to by lpBuffer is not large enough, the return value
specifies the required size of the buffer, including the number of bytes
necessary for a terminating null character.

<iostream.h> is deprecated. The latest C++ standard specifies using
<iostream> along with namespaces. cout, cin, cerr, all standard library
functions are in the `std' namespace. To access them, you would say
std::cout, or std::cin.

So your hello program would be

------- Start -------
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, world.\n";
    return 0;
}
------- Stop -------

However, when you run it directly from the IDE, or from Windows explorer,
you won't see any output. Run the program from a console, or see the FAQ.

I just found out about this project a week ago. 

I would like to use Dev-C++ with a GNU C compiler to
target 68hc12 embedded processors.

Has anyone done anything like this already?

I'm a Delphi programmer and I can probably port the
Dev-C++ version 4 source code for this purpose. But I
don't have Delphi 6, so I can't use the newest
sources.

If I understand your problem corrrectly, you are unable to see the "Hello

#include <stdlib.h> and in the line preceeding the return 0 command add
system("PAUSE");

Also, I do not understand why you #included windows.h.  There's no reason

There are no error message after compiling.
The c files are just a "Hello world" print out.
All the files are in 2 zip files, one for proj03 and the second for proj04.

The second question is the different between Ansi C and C and which is most

Try getcwd():

  	  /#include/ /<unistd.h>/
	  /#include/ /<io.h> // <stdio.h> is standard but MinGW uses io.h/

	  /main()/
	  /{/
	       /char/ /*cwd;/
	       /if/ /((cwd/	/=/ /getcwd(NULL,/ /64))/ /==/ /NULL)/
	       /{/
		    /perror("pwd");/
		    /exit(2) <http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?exit+2>;/
	       /}/
	       /(void)printf("%s\n",/ /cwd);/
	       /free(cwd);/
	       /return(0);/
	  /}/

The man page is at:
http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?getcwd+3

Note that this is POSIX, Windows has their own non-portable API for 
directory and file operations.

Good luck!

I just downloaded Devcpp4, all the files: upgrade, devcpp4.exe,
devcpp401,devcpp4.src and installed all. You may want to check if this
software is compatible with your OS. I installed the Devcpp on my NT and
followed the same instruction from www.cprogramming.com today as a test
and it works.
You may have to reinstall again to make sure everything is done correctly.
 Let me know what the outcome is.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Dev C++ on Windows XP

Hi,

  I just downloaded and installed dev C++ for my windows XP machine. I
opened the hello project (hello world) and tried to compile it. But the
compiler is giving lots of errors saying that iostream.h is not available.
All the header files are there but the system is not able to recognize it.
Do I have to set some environment variables or something?? What do I need
to do? Your kind inputs in this regard would be appreciated.
