Have any of you tried coding with this combination? I found a great resource site for it at gpwiki.org and im trying my hand at some 2d stuff, i just kind of hate the compiler.. maybe ill even enter this competition thing-a-majig  On another note my beautifully drunken posts in malarkey have all been deleted

I kinda started trying it, but the tutorials I was using were all buggy (cone3d.gamedev.net i think). So if you have anything that works well for you, please point me in it's direction :).

If I'm not mistaken I've tried Dev C++ but didn't like the editor so used MingW with the MingW Developer Studio. It's lightweight and works nicely. Edit: Thanks for the site. I like it :-). Also found Allegro and it looks like it's just as easy as SDL but with more capabilities. [Edited on September 30, 2006 by Htbaa] ____________ blog.htbaa.com |

You oculd also try code warrrior if you don't like DEVCPP.

CodeBlocks is a pretty good replacement to DevCpp if you are used to DevCpp. Its setup is similar and actually has built in functionality that allows it to use DevCpp's DevPacks for external libraries. DevCpp is pretty much outdated and all development has ceased on the project so it will not get much better. ____________ |

I've been using Dev-C++ for a short while now. The gui is better than the MingW Developer Studio, which I used before. I also tried Visual C++ 2005 Express, which I prefer BUT, all the stuff I compiled didn't seem to work on other computers. Although now I think it's because I compiled a DLL in the wrong way, since a particular DLL was complaining :). Hmm, I guess I should trie VC++ 2005 Express again :P.

Maybe those pc's you tried it on didn't have the .NET Framework installed.

Yeah they all did. The error I got was about some sort of configuration error in the application. Anyway, I now moved on to Code::Blocks and I like it even better than Dev-C++ :-). Actually, it's great! I also tried VC++ 2005 Express again and installed the windows SDK with it. It contains the windows.h file that was needed for a DLL, but also seemed to compile fine without it. Although it worked for me, it didn't worked for others. Don't know why though. Anyway, I followed the steps to install the SDK and manually update VC++ but after that I couldn't compile anything at all. So I saved myself the trouble of wasting hours to "not get it working" again and moved over to Code::Blocks. ____________ blog.htbaa.com |
