Dev-C++ FAQ
Click here for Dev-C++ 5 FAQ- I've found that generally, the correct answer is don't use Dev-C because it's a steaming pile of bleep but this would also work. I tutor students that are required to use this compiler and this problem happens with great frequency, even when not using the C: directory as Jon indicated above.
- RT: Getting Started With GLUT/OpenGL Forum: Bloodshed Software. The headers go in your Dev include folder (C: dev-cpp include for me), the libraries go in the lib.
- Building your own C application. A lot of efforts have been made so that these tutorials are as simple to compile & run as possible. Unfortunately, this also means that CMakes hides how to do that on your own project. So, this tutorial will explain how to build your own C application from scatch.

1. When I compile my dos program and execute it,Dev-C++ minimizes and then restore in a second but nothingappears ?
2. When executing my dos program, it closesautomatically. How I can change this ?
4. When I launch Dev-C++ i get the message saying“WININET.DLL not found” ?
5. When I compile a file, I get a message saying'could not find <filename> '
6. The EXE files created are huge. What can i doto reduce the size ?
7.Under Windows NT, every time i launch Dev-C++ i get the message“Failed to set data for”
8.When I try to compile I get: ld: cannot open crt2. o: No suchfile or directory. What can i do ?
9.How can i use the OpenGL library and others ?
10. When i compile a file that contains referencesto Windows filename (like <Mydirmyfile.h>), i get a'unrecognized escape sequence' message ?
11. Is there any GUI library or packages availablefor Dev-C++ ?
12. I am having problems using Borland specificfunctions such as clrscr()
13. The toolbars icons are showing incorrectly.
14. It seems i've found a problem/bug that is notspecified here. What should i do ?

1.When I compile my dos program and execute it, Dev-C++ minimizesand then restore in a second but nothing appears ?
When creating a console application, be sure to uncheck “Donot create a console” in Project Options (when working withsource files only uncheck “Create for win32” inCompiler Options).
2.When executing my dos program, it closes automatically. How I canchange this ?
You can use an input function at the end of you source, like thefollowing example :
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system(“PAUSE”
return0;
}
Mar 17, 2019 i have been using dev c for making simple little console programs and now i want to try openGL. I went and downloaded the openGl libraries and the glaux libraies and i tried to compile the devc tutorials at nehe.gam&hellip. The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library is a simple tool that helps C/C developers initialize extensions and write portable applications. GLEW currently supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Darwin, Irix, and Solaris.
3.After linking, i get the error“C:DEV-C++LIBlibmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8e): undefinedreference to `WinMain@16'
You probably haven’t declared any main() function in yourprogram. Otherwise, try recompiling a second time.
4.When I launch Dev-C++ i get the message saying “WININET.DLLnot found” ?
If you are missing WININET.DLL on your Windows system, you candownload it at:
5.When I compile a file, I get a message saying 'could notfind <filename> '
Check in Compiler options if the direcories settings are correct.With a default setup, you should have :
C:DEV-C++Bin
c:DEV-C++Include
c:DEV-C++Include
c:DEV-C++Lib
6.The EXE files created are huge. What can i do to reduce the size?
If you want to reduce your exe file size from 330 Ko to 12 Ko forexample, go to compiler options. Then click on the Linker pageand uncheck 'Generate debug information'. This willremove debugging information (if you want to debug, uncheck it).You can also click on Optimization page and check 'Bestoptimization'.
7.Under Windows NT, every time i launch Dev-C++ i get the message“Failed to set data for”
The is because you are not in Administrator mode, and Dev-C++tries to write to the registry. To get rid of the error message,log on as the Administrator, or uncheck the file associationoptions in Environment options, Misc. Sheet.
8.when I try to compile I get: ld: cannot open crt2. o: No suchfile or directory. What can i do ?
Go to Compiler options, and check if the Lib directory iscorrectly set to:
C:Dev-C++Lib
(for a default installation).
If this stilldoesn't work, try copying the file Libcrt2.o to your Dev-C++'sBin directory.
9.How can i use the OpenGL library and others ?
All the libraries that comes with Mingw reside in the Libdirectory. They are all named in the following way: lib*.a
To link a library with your project, just add in Project options,Further option files :
-lopengl32
This is for including the libopengl32.a library. To add any otherlibrary, just follow the same syntax:
Type -l (L in lowercase) plus the base name of the library(filename without 'lib' and the '.a'extension).
10.When i compile a file that contains references to Windowsfilename (like <Mydirmyfile.h>), i get a 'unrecognizedescape sequence' message ?
The Mingw compilerunderstands paths in the Unix style (/mydir/myfile.h). Tryreplacing the in the filename by /
11.Is there any GUI library or packages available for Dev-C++ ?
You can downloadextra packages for Dev-C++ at http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/
12.I am having problems using Borland specific functions such asclrscr()
Include conio.h toyour source, and add C:Dev-C++Libconio.o to 'FurtherObject Files' in Project Options (where C:Dev-C++ is whereyou installed Dev-C++)
13.The toolbars icons are showing incorrectly.
On some screenresolutions, toolbars icons may show up incorrectly. You shouldtry changing your screen resolution, or disable toolbars from theView menu in Dev-C++

14. It seems i've found a problem/bug thatis not specified here. What should i do ?
First, you shouldtry doing a 'Check for Dev-C++ update' (in Help menu)to know if a new version has come that may correct this problem.If there are no new version or the problem wasn't fixed thenplease send an email describing the bug to : webmaster@bloodshed.net
15.When attempting to create a setup program, i get the error'File BinSetup.exe not found'.
If you arewilling to use the Setup Creator feature of Dev-C++, you need to

16.How to use assembly with Dev-C++ ?
Dev C Opengl Build Error 10
The assembler uses AT&T (notIntel). Here's an example of such a syntax :
// 2 global variables
int AdrIO ;
static char ValIO ;
void MyFunction(..........)
{
__asm('mov %dx,_AdrIO') ; // loading 16 bits register
__asm('mov %al,_ValIO') ; // loading 8 bits register
/*
Don't forget the underscore _ before each global variable names !
*/
__asm('mov %dx,%ax') ; // AX --> DX
}
