all these days i was programming using the decade old compiler turboc which is still used in many of the engineering colleges in karnataka.i was very much interested about graphics turboc could offer.here i am going to share my experience with dev c++ compiler.
ive got many recommendations for this compiler which made me to try this one.first of all its free of cost.and i hear many more advantages of this compiler which i am going to explain soon.
first i downloaded this compiler from sourceforge and installed it on my computer with default settings.all the download versions were beta versions.although i’ve heard beta versions are fairly stable i am still reluctant to use beta softwares.i am running xp sp3 on my machine.installation was very easy,just like any other software.the version i downloaded was w/o MinGW (Minimalistic GUI for Windows) .when i started dev -c++ i got a message
“There doesn’t seem to be (a) GNU make file in PATH or in Dev-C++’s BIN path. P-lease make sure you have a GNU make and adjust the Bin setting or system path enviroment variable and make setting in Compiler Option contains the correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compile anything.”
so looked up google,got into a forum which suggested to install the version with mingw,so downloaded the version with mingw.removed old version.installed the new one.this time i dint get any error messages.
ill continue this post as and when i find somthing i feel like sharing.i may or may not continue this post depending on how dev absorbs me.
My experience with Dev-c++ compiler
