I'd like to meantion that the IDE recommended here is great. I used it for years and still check the site, but has not been update for a VERY long time, and is lagging behind various other projects. Due to that, I had to find something that was more stable. I would like to suggest anyone that finds Dev-C++ crashing a lot (like I eventually did) to try out Code::Blocks - site: http://www.codeblocks.org/ , it works with the same compiler(MinGW, a seperate product) included with Dev-C++ and is just as capable in the features and functions it supports.

Actually, starting early in life is actually kinda good. It can also be bad though...

Lets not get off-topic.

when you say the folder DEV C++, is that the thing you get when you get a compiler?

Cj Shadows · 07-10-2006, 02:04 AM

Ok one question i feel stupid now. I use Bloodshed Dev-C++ and i thought that was the compiler cause u write the code in it and hit the compile button. Do i still need that extra compiler because when i do try to compile it says cant run program?(and all the code is right)

Uh... it doesn't have to be the Dev-Cpp folder, it can be anywhere. But yes, the folder itself is created when you install the program.

Dev-Cpp is the IDE. It goes over the compiler, which is the G++ (or GCC). They both come with Dev-Cpp and are installed along with the IDE. If your project isn't compiling, try exiting Dev-Cpp and restarting, then compiling again. It's happened to me once or twice, when a program crashed, that I can't recompile it. Just restart and it should work out.

oooo okay thanks! I was doing some stuff for Eternal-Lands and it wouldnt let me compile, so i went to the site again and it said to use the script for the client download this thing called Tortise CVS, do you know what that is and is used for?

Eriond · 07-11-2006, 06:54 AM

I really dunno much about CVS. I just did a bit of reading, and it's a version control system. From what I understand, it helps keep track of who's developing what in a software project. Just google Tortoise CVS or Wikipedia it, and see what comes up.

Here's the website for the program itself:
