Setting up Dev C++

[Suchy]

I just upgraded to the newest Dev C++ compiler, and I can't figure out how to put the default code in

#include<iostream>
int main ()
{

system ("pause");
return 0;
}

In the compiler that I used previously (version 4.0) one would go to Envirement Options -> Misc tab, but I don't see this option anywhere.

Could some one please point me in the right direction.

Nevermind I go it (its under tools -> editor options - > code -> default source )

>I can't figure out how to put the default code in
The default code is broken. Besides, it's no effort to key it in manually from an empty project and do it right from the start:

#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

int main()
{
  // Add your code here

  std::cin.ignore ( std::numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n' );
  std::cin.get();
}

Thanks for the tip, I also have another problem. Everytime I hit compile, I het the status screen that it is done without any errors, but the .exe file does not show up anywhere the source file is.

Also when I hit run, compile & run or debug I get the warning message that the "source file [is] not compiled".

Why is this happening, is it because I am running on Win Vista Beta ?

Have you looked under the compile log? Linker errors, mayhaps?

but the .exe file does not show up anywhere the source file is.

Go to Project Options->Build Options and make sure the EXE output directory is blank. This will default it to the same directory as the source files.

Did that , and still same thing, even in Win XP.

What the heck is going on ?

What do you mean upgraded? In the Dev-C++ installation it says "Do not install this over a previous installation"

[manutd]

So run the uninstall app and then reinstall.

You're extremely annoying.

Sorry, i had to get it out.

[maxorator]

You're extremely annoying.

Giving advice should not annoy you, especially if you don't have anything to do with this thread.

I've installed Dev-C++ many times and I've never got any problems. You must be doing something wrong.

[divineleft]

That's not advice, that's nitpicking. Anybody with common sense would know what he meant. Even with that aside, it's totally irrelevant.

If by the latest version you mean 4.992, it is best to make sure you have 100% uninstalled the previous version of DevC++. Oh, and maxorator is correct..

You do get a message up warning you to not install over a previous version.

The best thing to do, is uninstall the software, re-install 4.992 version slowly and
check the boxes that appear on start up if they apply to you. When you are satisfyed with this, clickOK then when you load the application, do a "dummy run".

Create a very small program, ie: hello world, then compile and run it. If the screen flashes up and goes away in a second, add cin.get() before return 0 to prevent this from happening.
Any other problems, you can go to bloosheds website and enquire, also the help files
have some usful information too
