Compiling in Dev-C++ Thread last updated on 2004-03-17 05:31:57

Is this possible w/o too much modifications. Or am I right in that this is tailored to work with Microsoft Developer Studio?

Heck, is it possible w/lots of modifications in Dev-C++?

Better use msvc. Sorry

It's technically possible to compile modules with Dev-C++, but existing modules won't compile "out of the box". It shouldn't be a problem if you start a module from scratch, but existing modules may require heavy modifications.

Compiling what? It should be possible to compile nearly everything with Dev-C++, but you'd have to piece together your own project files for most stuff and some modules may require modifications to their code.

That's what I figured. Thanks everyone.

RabidCow: That's what I meant. Except that some modules use stuff like strsafe.h which isn't really available for MinGW.

ilmcuts: Actually, I took too long and didn't see your post before writing mine. :P

there is "unsafe" strsafe.h in xLabel sources :)
just some redefinitions of StringCch_xxx using standard C functions
so it isn't a problem

Those are even more dangerous than using strcpy/strncpy.

here is a link to a lsmodule-project for Dev-CPP:

http://home.no.net/tuckndar/download/C++LSModule.zip

I did not create it, and I don't know c or c++ (yet!), so don't ask me any technical questions about this.

the project compiles just fine with the latest dev-cpp beta, and I've also used it as a sort of template to make working versions of lscolor 1.6.1 and beep 0.1.

I got the project from wols, and I have permission to distribute it.

Hopefully it'll be helpful to other than me, too :)
