Hello everyone :)

A'ight well thanks for clearing that up, I only have a beta version but it seems to be good enough atleast for now, I will look some more into MingW in a moment...

Argh XD I've got a serious problem, I can only have either "Bloodshed Dev-C++" or "Blender" (A freeware 3D application) installed on my pc, when both are installed Blender chrashes upon start.

I'll post some info later...For now I have to sleep...

I decided to uninstall "Bloodshed" guess I'll have to get MingW

If you don't want to compile by-hand in the commandprompt, I'll suggest you to install it again. Like I said, Dev-C++ comes with MingW, so you'll get both. Through Dev-C++ you'll not have to compile by-hand, but simply by clicking on a button.

Agreed that would be very tiresome XD
But I'll try and install MingW to see if it makes any difference.
One of the errors was in a temp file btw, I think it was called "accompat" or something, maybe I should try to recreate the error...

You said you installed Dev-C++ from a CD you got with a book? Have you tried installing the latest release from their official website? The version on the CD may not include MingW, so that could be the problem.

A little note: Dev-C++ is discontinued as a project, so it may not be up-to-date anymore. I think you should consider finding another IDE. There's an IDE called wxDev-C++ which is based on Dev-C++. You may want to check it out? It also has better facilities for GUI-programming (in wxWidgets) Another very used IDE is Code::Blocks which is also cross-platform.

A last thing: Compiling by hand isn't that bad. You're not going to write down the whole process of compiling for each and single file. You can use a tool, like make (and makefiles) for automating the process. Personally, I use Vim as editor and makefiles for the compiling process. You'll have to have a basic understanding for compiling, linking, etc. to successfully write a makefile.

That's a good idea I'll look it up. Oh and by the way, is it possible to have multiple IDE installed at once?

[v0id]

Yes, of course. You can install as many IDEs as you want to.

Ok, thanks.
