ive just downloaded devc++ and have a problem. It lets me compile c programs easily, but anything to to do with c++ it has errors compiling! Even #including iostream.h and such bring up problems. ive tried using a blank project and console project! I wanna learn c++ and cant without a c++ compiler!!! Cry
I've had the same problem. I'm not sure how to fix it.

What I did is just remove everything and in a month I reinstalled. It might have something to do with where I installed it, or what parts I installed, or maybe an early version. Not sure. Or because I installed the (Borland?) C++ compiler before.

My problem was that it did not add the ".h" to any of the include files. Check them. Do they have an ".h" in the include statements?
i tried a reinstall, no luck Cry if i include with a .h it just says it cant find the file, but if i include without .h, it runs off a bajillion errors about stuff that you dont even see in sci-fi movies! i also have the (free) borland 5 compiler installed, then i tried djgpp, but it also wont let me compile c++ progs without messages about not enough memory to allocate! I never learn c++, Cry Cry
Hey, I have the EXACT same problem. I used to use devc++ 4 but I recently upgraded to the lastest version and I get this error. If you can find a early version of 4 it will work. I think you can download it from there site. I think it is just the beta version that has a bug in it.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
thanx, good to hear im not the only one with problems. I thought that i had done something wrong! the bad news is i live in the toilet of the internet with my 56k dail up. hour+ download, here i come Cry
Hey no prob,
haha, I was born in South Africa(Randburg, Johannesburg) and moved to Ireland a year ago and I thought the connection would be better. Well its just as bad (maybe a little better).
cheers
My connection is better than I had in Cape Town. Not much, but I'm on a better access system, fixed rates so I just use Raven Get and keep it running while surfing. Its amazing how much you can actually download on a "56kbs" connection :wink: I had trouble setting up Dev-CPP but got it working by using older versions..
in theory, its ment to be able to download at 56 kps, yea, like that ever happens! oh well, after another hour+- download, i got devc++ 4 and it works fine. ive downloaded sdl and am trying to get some tuts on it, ang suggestions?

wildcard: hope you boys dont lose any points on that zim match!
Hey citpes,

If I were you, I would go for the allegro library instead of sdl, I think its so much easier Big Grin 8) visit www.allegro.cc aswell my site(still being developed) www.mattsnet.tk and www.pixelate.co.za they have a rpg tutorial.

Hope this helps,
Mofu
sdl tuts? cone3d.gamedev.net.

That should work. Allegro tuts? pixelate.co.za

[edit ah that one was taken, well heres a good beginner allegro tut with lots of advanced stuff like pathfinding agdn.cjb.net
