dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++ (Page 68)

Hello,
I am not able to debug my code ie Not able to set the debugger ON

I have looked into the FAQ list about the similar question and help
manual, I followed the same steps but it's not working.

Steps I have followed,
1.	set break points in code and added even watch also
2.	compiled and run the program-F9
3.	click ->debug- it asks that your project does not have debug
information whether to enable or not
click:::::: yes
4.	click -> debug again
or
      	click -> run time cursor

The program is working fine.
Where is the problem? I have varied some of the steps with little
luck. Should I follow some extra steps?
Please help me in setting my debugger. If you can give me step by step
information, it will be of great help.

Hey everyone,

I am trying to compile a program that uses Direct input 8, and I believe =
that I have done everything correctly, but the linker will not include =
dinput8.lib for some reason. I am using the Microsoft Direct X October =
SDK release from 2006, so there should be no problem what so ever. It is =
finding the file, that's for sure, but it is giving me a strange error =
that I can't for the life of me figure out how to solve. The log is =
below.

This is a very fundamental equation...
  I put 2 'float's in my program and multiplied them...
  I then used basic 'cout' to print out the decimals...
  The program internally rounded all 3 outputs to basically integers...
  It did not print the number to the right of the decimal...
  I thought I could use setprecision() to see number of decimals to right of decimals...
  but that did not work...
  ...so, why does dev4cpp do this...?... and...
  how do I make simple corrections for printing of decimals from floats...?
     Thks, ken

I am trying to run a program but I keep getting an error message.  The message is STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE undeclared.  The line of code that I have in my program is 
   HANDLE hcon = Get Std Handle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
I am using Dev C++ version 4.9.8.0 can someone tell me if this version supports hcon?

I have MFC 4.n libs, but MingW seems to be choking on using them, or I don't 
know how to structure the compile to integrate it properly.

Yes, I have the SDK as well, but not at 6.n and these are no longer 
supported to just download, as far as I could find.

I keep finding mixed opinions as to whether or not calling into MFC from 
MingW should or shouldn't work.  The MingW project shows msvcrt capability 
to exist which I thought would spoof or at least borrow on the MFC libs 
themselves, but then it seems to choke when running into MFC, so I can tell 
if the support is or isn't functional.

I adopted a little project that was written in VS C++ 06 and I have only 04 
rev. libs on board for one thing.  I was hoping to keep the original project 
in it's basic native form and write "around" the differences, if practical. 
So far I have 14 errors and many are dependency issues, as stupid as 
glorified printf's, but in this case it looks to be coming down to socket 
threading issues which are not necessarily trivial to just "write around".

> the MFC  :(

Yeah.  It looks like hacking it up may be more trouble than it's worth, 
where if I could have created a maintainable crossover, the project would 
make sense to take on, where a re-write would be a little too much for the 
value of the effort.

> system remains Windows

I would prefer to move away from M$ dependency and continue to look for 
cross platform ways of dealing with Windows applications.  I really don't 
want to pay to upgrade old MFC libs for one little project, nor do I want to 
stay in VS C++.  Express 2005 conversion to C++ would have been nice but of 
course Bill broke that off in our tailpipes by excluding MFC and other 
critical support unless you purchase the 2005 pro version of C++.

I don't mind writing in C# 05 Express from scratch, when someone needs it 
but otherwise I continue to work toward MingW and keep most of my efforts 
closer to Linux based life, onboard the Win box as most of what I produce 
for my own purposes will be .Net Mono/standard M$.  I'm having pretty good 
luck maintaining cross portability with some fairly substantial apps this 
way.

Thanks for your words.

1. I've done really small things with Borland's IDE and MFC without
issue so MinGW/DevC++ should be little different as long as the libs
are there.  Do you have a Windows Platform SDK?  Any MFC libs should
be in that wouldn't they? (Okay, maybe not modern SDKs but in
deprecated ones.  I'm sure there must be a repository somewhere.)

2.  Ideally that might be the case.  Life isn't perfect.

3.  For my part I'm stuck between the corporate world where VS rules
and my dream of writing cross platform apps that the entire world,
including Microserfs can enjoy.

Some points :

1. being a MS technology,  MFC will scarcely help beyond Windows and VS.
2. you may probably have to rewrite the project, so that to make no use of 
the MFC  :(
3. just wonder why would you use a different IDE anyway, as long as your 
system remains Windows

Hi list,

 I'm trying to build a pre-existing VS C++ 6.0 project in the current 
4.9.9.2
 MingW Dev-C++ IDE and sadly for starters, I only have 4.nn MFC libs on 
board  my XP system.

 Dev-C++ imported the solution/project.
 I pointed the project includes directory at the MFC includes directory.

 The IDE identified the following macros for the project:

    Compiler:
    -D__GNUWIN32__ -W -DWIN32 -DNDEBUG -D_WINDOWS -D_AFXDLL

    C++ compiler:
    -D__GNUWIN32__ -W -DWIN32 -DNDEBUG -D_WINDOWS -D_AFXDLL

    Linker: (is empty)

 When I run compile, I get the following errors:

    //////////////////////
    In file included from C:/Devel_all/MSDEV/mfc/include/afx.h:27,
                 from C:/Devel_all/MSDEV/mfc/include/afxwin.h:19,
                 from dialogs/..\stdafx.h:10,
                 from dialogs/MailSendDlg.cpp:7:
     C:/Devel_all/MSDEV/mfc/include/afxver_.h:128:3: #error Please use the
 /MD switch for _AFXDLL builds
     C:/Devel_all/MSDEV/mfc/include/afxver_.h:133:3: #error Please use the
 /MD switch (multithreaded DLL C-runtime)
     //////////////////////

 When I follow them out I get...

     MailSendDlg.cpp says:      #include "..\stdafx.h"
     stdafx.h:10 says                 #include <afxwin.h> (MFC core)
     afxwin.h:19 says                #include <afx.h>

  afxver_.h 128 says
     #if defined(_AFXDLL) && !defined(_DLL)
     #error Please use the /MD switch for _AFXDLL builds
     #endif

  afxver_.h 128 says
     #ifndef _MAC
     #if defined(_AFXDLL) && !defined(_MT)
     #error Please use the /MD switch (multithreaded DLL C-runtime)
     #endif
     #endif

 It seems a little odd that the compiler is sending back a response related
 to "ifndef _MAC" so perhaps I have to find a way to tell the compiler to
 ignore this one?

Apparently then I need to tell gcc to compile and link in MSVCRT.DLL to
 support threading, either static or at runtime?

 Admittedly this is a lack of familiarity on my part in how to tell Dev-C++
 and GCC to make this inclusion.

 So what is the best way to have Dev-C++ tell the comipler to manage this?

 Thanks,

 Mike

Hello dev-cpp-users,

I just installed dev-cpp and I need the C++ context file help, where do I
get it from?

-- 
Best regards,

Leopardus.

Hi,

I'm seeing this error on /var/log/messages:

Jan 23 20:01:20 buildsrvr kernel: bamd[19577]: segfault at 0000003a44630818
rip 0000003a44630818 rsp 00000000409ffeb8 error 15

what does this mean?  Is there to trace this error?  Application 'bamd'
seems running ok though.

I'm using RHEL4-x86_64 on a AMD64 machine...

Regards,
Chino

Sorry about this out topic, because i don't know where to ask this question. tx

I just want to format number using thousand separator and decimal. 
a. On linux I use strfmon function. I have install gtkwin32 dev and compile with dev-cpp. But i got error about strfmon. How i can solve this error?

b. Or Where I search sample code to get thousand separator and decimal on win xp?

thx 
Hariyanto
sorry about my poor english.

About Unix: The "$" token is actually the "&" token, and it is used to run
an application in the background, using the current console. The
application still has a console, and will die when the console dies.

It is _very_ hard to start a console applicatin from a graphical
application, without getting a console window. To my knowledge, you have
to intercept and replace a couple of Win32 API functions, to manage it.

A far simpler method is to let the console be crated, and then minimized.

Note that non-lossy audio compression (I'm definitely not talking about
zip :) or similar) have a hard time giving more than 30-50% compression
for music.

Software that needs to be delivered with audio samples often requires
non-lossy audio (instrument samplings for a sequencer software) or have
too small sample files for it to be worth it to bother with mp3 or similar
(informational/error sounds or speech messages).

Consider for example an application I developed at a previous employer. It
was delivered with alarm messages. Let's assume 50 different alarm
messages, each about 3 seconds long. 150 seconds times 22kHz 16-bit mono
is less than 7MB total size. The need for sound compression would in this
case be quite small, and I think this would be representable for quite a
large percentage of applications that are distributed with sound data.

The other end of the spectrum is of course high-end sequencer software,
that might be delivered with many GB of sound samples, but then the
requirements are often 24-bit non-lossy audio.

While multimedia players make good use of (lossy) compressed audio, I
really don't think they are representative of software that are
distributed with audio. You get the player without any sound clips, and
you then collect your music separately.

Aloha from honolulu,
    If you use a .wav file this is usually uncompressed audio.  There 
are several compressed audio formats .mp3, .m4a, etc.  Microsoft and 
Apple each have their own formats that Windows Media Player and iTunes 
use.  I'm not sure about Unix/Linux, but the point is audio compression 
formats exist and deliver reasonable results.  Don't try to compress a 
.wav file into a .zip and expect to enjoy the listening experience. 
(Although that isn't based on my experience--I've never tried it.)
    In professional recording the trend now is to record the tracks at 
the higest resolution, now 24-bit/196KHz sample rate.  Then mix to 
stereo file (at same res) then downsample to meet spec for various 
formats.  Audio DVDs are 24-bit/96KHz and CDs are 16-bit/44.1KHz.  Audio 
for video is usually 16-bit/48KHz.  Note that none of this is 
compressed, it is just using less of the original information.
    MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) on the other hand is defined as a lossy 
compression format where "inaudible" data is removed from the audio 
file.  Look up "MP3" in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3 the 
article has information on the various formats in use today.
    The compression ratios are quite impressive, but you must choose 
what type of compression you use, based on the audio material involved. 
  Speech can be compressed the most.  Loud, hard rock and roll music can 
handle a lot of compression.  Delicate classical music with large 
dynamic range will suffer the most from compression.  If you have the 
time and tools, run the audio through an oscilloscope and compare 
uncompressed to compressed.
    Hope this is helpful.
Aloha,
Roger Furer

Note that sound is very hard to compress, and for most applications it
isn't meaningful to spend any time to compress/decompress it.

The only situations where compression is important is when used in flash
memory of small hand-held devices, or if transmitted over a
bandwidth-limited media, such as using a GPRS phone.

Cmpiling audio or images into an application is quite often done, and
works very well. By having the information in the exe file - or even
better in one or more dll files - the OS will be able to throw away the
information in case of a mermory contention. If the information is read in
from a data file (read in, instead of memory-mapped), the OS must swap out
the information so that it can restore the information later without
letting the application know about it. Information stored in resource
files, the exe file or a dll file does not need to be swapped, since the
OS specifically knows how to load the information on demand directly
from the original source.

Greetings,

We're using Dev-C++ here at our university for our intro programming 
class.  We would like to set the program up to store the code completion 
cache in a central location on a lab computer, rather than each 
individual user having to generate the code completion cache the first 
time they use Dev-C++, and store it in their user profile, adding an 
extra >10MB per user to our file server.

I've tried doing this by telling Dev-C++ to use an alternative location 
for the cache (first I used "C:\Dev-Cpp", then tried "C:\Documents and 
Settings\All Users\Application Data\Dev-Cpp").  When I do this, however, 
the program generates an essentially empty cache.  If I then run the 
program, go to options, and explicitly add the include files to the 
cache, it goes ahead and creates the cache in the user directory instead 
of putting it where I told it to put the cache when I first ran the program.

Is it possible to generate the cache once and have all users use that 
cache rather than individually storing the cache in each person's user 
space?

If this is not currently possible, can someone point me to which source 
code files I might have to modify to implement this feature?

Thanks,

Hello,

I have another question. How do I create a simple COM Dll in Dev? Basically 
one that has a Prog and a Class ID like my.control, etc etc. And that has 
properties, methods and events and that can be called from other languages 
that support Com objects like Vb script.

It might not be as simple as I think, but if anyone has a very, very simple 
example let me know. I'm not looking to go in depth, simply to make a few 
Com dll and distribute them.

Thanks.

Regards
Philip Bennefall

Hello everyone.
=20
My name is Philip Bennefall, I am an audio producer and game programmer
from Sweden. I am just getting into C++, before now I've been working
with high level languages. But lately I've started to feel that they
simply are not good enough for my needs, they limit me too much in what
I can do. I'm a complete beginner at the actual C++ language, although I
know programming well. My first question is, in Dev C++, is it possible
to pack for example a sound file into your executable and then access it
directly from memory inside of the application? That is, without ever
extracting it on to the users harddrive. That way, noone will be able to
see the file unless they know how to disassemble executables which is
certainly beyond me. Basically I just want to put the file in the
executable together with my code and be able to access it directly with
a memory address or perhaps a buffer pointer.

If anyone can answer this, I'd be very glad.

Thanks in advance.
