Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers. It can be downloaded from:
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.comInstallation
Run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. The default options are fine.Support for C++11
By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler OptionsHere, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File (or Ctrl+N)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As... (or Ctrl+Alt+S)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp extension, such as example.cpp.Now, hitting
F11 should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.Tutorial
You are now ready to begin the language tutorial: click here!.
Pause Command In C
You could do another cin. 'Administrator' writes: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -=NextPart000004F01C2703F.657C9830. System ('pause'); // execute M$-DOS' pause command return 0; What about a Linux version? There was a Linux version, but it has been abandoned, mainly because Dev-C is written in Delphi, but the Linux version of Delphi (Kylix) wasn't as promising as it should have been. This is a problem if the thread allocates some resources (like memory, file descriptors, semaphores or whatever) at the time pause is called. If the thread gets cancelled these resources stay allocated until the program ends. To avoid this calls to pause should be protected using cancellation handlers. The pause function is declared in unistd.h.
