Koan Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hello, My favourite IDE is Bloodshed. I have tried Visual c++ and CodeBlocks but no way to install correctly the engine. Well, one thing I like with bloodshed is that you can install a library just with a devpaks. That works even with the CodeBlocks IDE that has a plugin for installing and manipulating devpaks. There is a way to create them. http://blog.weinachter.com/post/2006/08/15/How-to-create-a-DevPack-for-Dev-C Well, I am going to try it. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Roland Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi Koan. I also like Dev C++. Really nice IDE. Keep us informed. Roland Quote AV MX Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 There are tutorials how to install the engine for Visual Studio and Code::Blocks also. I would recommend to use Code::Blocks with MinGW, since it's the fastest compiler (fastest compilation time + fastest code), and it has also the most modern C++ version. I think using devpacks is more work, because every standard library is very easy to install, and you don't need to create a devpack for each standard library: 1) compile the library if it's not already in .lib format 2) drag the .lib file with the mouse to the project 3) add the include directory to your project or IDE Dev-C++ uses also MinGW, so at least the compiler should be fine. The fact that it's written in Delphi, makes me rather want to use a IDE which was written in C++. The fact that it's for Windows only, makes me also want to use Code::Blocks instead.

A tutorial fo Dev-C++ might be usefull too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
