Problem executing sample program:

I have installed the Devcpp version 4 and version 401 update as

instructed. I ran the sample program indicated on the main page

of "How do I use A Compiler". Upon executing and run the sample

program, I received error messages indicating that Icon file not

found (please change it in Project Options). The question is

where do I change this under project options tab? Version 4.


Also similar error was received while I ran the updated version

Devcpp401. The error is C:\Dev_C~1\Bin\Windres: can't open file

icon file 'C:\devcpp401\Icon\Mainicon.ico:Invalid arument.

Please help: mrabiu

I just downloaded and installed Dev-Cpp the other day, and it says that it is Version 4.9.8.0 (don't know if it is different from yours).

Well, after installation, I clicked

File --> Open Project or File.

Then I used the resulting dialog box to navigate to Dev-CPP\Examples\Hello.

There was a file named "Hello.dev"

I selected that, and it compiled and executed OK.

Have you done anything like this?

Start with the simplest example, to validate your installation, then get to the "good stuff".

Good Luck!

Hi Dave,
Kindly send me the version your are reffering to, I did not have that perticular one. Or send me the link to that address, I will continue to look.

Thanks

Remember when you update Dev C++ to uninstall it completely. If not, you'll have major effing problems.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d...devcpp4980.exe

That's the download.



On uninstalling completely:

Hi CSmith,

I have downloaded version 4980 and installed it. I was using an
older version which was not compatible with my OS.
Thanks for the information.
