1.When I compile my dos program and execute it, Dev-C++ minimizesand then restore in a second but nothing appears ?
When creating a console application, be sure to uncheck “Donot create a console” in Project Options (when working withsource files only uncheck “Create for win32” inCompiler Options).

• Clang-format is a tool to apply your formatting style to C/C/Objectiv-C code, with lots of possibilities of customization. We are starting to use it in 3 steps. The mass update We think that applying a new formatting style is best when the whole code base follows it.
• Problem of compiling a program in Dev-C. Plus you need to update your Mingw and get rid of what came with your IDE. I tried doing the same program in turbo.

2.When executing my dos program, it closes automatically. How I canchange this ?
You can use an input function at the end of you source, like thefollowing example :
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system(“PAUSE”);
return0;
}

3.After linking, i get the error“C:DEV-C++LIBlibmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8e): undefinedreference to `WinMain@16'
You probably haven’t declared any main() function in yourprogram. Otherwise, try recompiling a second time.

When I compile and run my programs in Dev C, the output window opens and shows the output. Then instanlty the window flashes and disappears. How do I make the window stay long enough for me to read the output.

4.When I launch Dev-C++ i get the message saying “WININET.DLLnot found” ?
If you are missing WININET.DLL on your Windows system, you candownload it at: http://www.rocketdownload.com/supfiles.htm

5.When I compile a file, I get a message saying 'could notfind <filename> '
Check in Compiler options if the direcories settings are correct.With a default setup, you should have :
C:DEV-C++Bin
c:DEV-C++Include
c:DEV-C++Include
c:DEV-C++Lib

6.The EXE files created are huge. What can i do to reduce the size?
If you want to reduce your exe file size from 330 Ko to 12 Ko forexample, go to compiler options. Then click on the Linker pageand uncheck 'Generate debug information'. This willremove debugging information (if you want to debug, uncheck it).You can also click on Optimization page and check 'Bestoptimization'.

7.Under Windows NT, every time i launch Dev-C++ i get the message“Failed to set data for”
The is because you are not in Administrator mode, and Dev-C++tries to write to the registry. To get rid of the error message,log on as the Administrator, or uncheck the file associationoptions in Environment options, Misc. Sheet.

8.when I try to compile I get: ld: cannot open crt2. o: No suchfile or directory. What can i do ?
Go to Compiler options, and check if the Lib directory iscorrectly set to:
C:Dev-C++Lib
(for a default installation).

If this stilldoesn't work, try copying the file Libcrt2.o to your Dev-C++'sBin directory.

9.How can i use the OpenGL library and others ?
All the libraries that comes with Mingw reside in the Libdirectory. They are all named in the following way: lib*.a
To link a library with your project, just add in Project options,Further option files :
-lopengl32
This is for including the libopengl32.a library. To add any otherlibrary, just follow the same syntax:
Type -l (L in lowercase) plus the base name of the library(filename without 'lib' and the '.a'extension).

10.When i compile a file that contains references to Windowsfilename (like <Mydirmyfile.h>), i get a 'unrecognizedescape sequence' message ?

The Mingw compilerunderstands paths in the Unix style (/mydir/myfile.h). Tryreplacing the in the filename by /

11.Is there any GUI library or packages available for Dev-C++ ?

You can downloadextra packages for Dev-C++ at http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/

12.I am having problems using Borland specific functions such asclrscr()

Include conio.h toyour source, and add C:Dev-C++Libconio.o to 'FurtherObject Files' in Project Options (where C:Dev-C++ is whereyou installed Dev-C++)

13.The toolbars icons are showing incorrectly.

On some screenresolutions, toolbars icons may show up incorrectly. You shouldtry changing your screen resolution, or disable toolbars from theView menu in Dev-C++

14. It seems i've found a problem/bug thatis not specified here. What should i do ?

First, you shouldtry doing a 'Check for Dev-C++ update' (in Help menu)to know if a new version has come that may correct this problem.If there are no new version or the problem wasn't fixed thenplease send an email describing the bug to : webmaster@bloodshed.net

15.When attempting to create a setup program, i get the error'File BinSetup.exe not found'.

If you arewilling to use the Setup Creator feature of Dev-C++, you need to download and install thisfile

Why Does Dev C Keep Doing The Same Update 2017

The assembler uses AT&T (notIntel). Here's an example of such a syntax :
// 2 global variables
int AdrIO ;
static char ValIO ;
void MyFunction(..........)
{
__asm('mov %dx,_AdrIO') ; // loading 16 bits register
__asm('mov %al,_ValIO') ; // loading 8 bits register
/*
Don't forget the underscore _ before each global variable names !
*/
__asm('mov %dx,%ax') ; // AX --> DX
}
