• How To Use Dev C++ Compiler

hello altogether,
my name is Wolfram Pagels, Berlin, Germany
my status is :retired but enthusiastic c++-fan;

It would be nice if the same app blocking these connections could inform us of what they do definitively as well. Most of us just blindly agree to them but what is it they are actually doing. No one has the time to google and research all the connections. Youve seen them. What im trying to get at are all of the obsure connections that apple products phone home with for instance.

Apr 14, 2015  I'm having trouble getting dev-c to create a 32bit executable. I'm running on Windows Vista. Dev-C is version 5.10. I have looked in tools-compiler options and selected a 32 bit profile (TDM-GCC 4.8.1 32-bit Debug). Go to Tools Option in your Dev-C IDE and then Go to Compiler Option(Tools-Compiler Options) After that there is a option on Compiler Tab:- Compiler set to configure There you can Choose TDM-GCC 4.7.1 64-bit for 64 bits computers and TDM-GCC 4.7.1 32-bit for 32 bits computers and press OK.

Oct 04, 2011  I have just started learning C from the book 'SAMS Teach Yourself C in 21 Days' and the very first exercise (after Hello World) won't compile in g. I've checked to make sure I wasn't making any typos or anything, and I have definitely typed exactly what it says in the book. Solution is here. Are you having problem when you compile a program in Dev-C 4.9.9.2 don't worry i'll give you a proper and very simple solution for this problem. This is what you get during compilation. Steps to resolve the problem.

I use Dev-C++ since 3 month ago; in the 70th I programmed in Fortran;
after a long break I enjoy to learn c++11;

e.g.: the day before yesterday I got the following message from Dev-C++:

My second question to you: * h o w to enable (these) options at my installed and running actual mingw compiler as part of Dev-C++ IDE ?

Thank you in advance for your time,

yours sincerely

Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C++ is far too old to support C++11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C++ is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C++11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better. Currently, you can get 4.7.1 version through '>TDM-GCC ports. I recommend switching to '>CodeBlocks, which you can download as an installer that includes TDM-GCC 4.7.1. That should allow you to have decent C++11 support.

How To Use Dev C++ Compiler

As for setting compiler options, you typically have to navigate the 'Build Configuration' or 'Project Properties' or similar panels. Usually, you will find a place to put 'custom compiler options' where you can place the exact command-line compiler option (like -std=c++11), that is, if you can't find a checkbox for the particular option you need.
