Thread: Help!

I was wondering if there's some kind of plugin program for Dev-C++ that counts how many times you've actually compiled your project. I mean like other programs say: Build 1045 or something like that, and I refuse to believe that it's manual counting.
Thanks

nope sorry.....not unless one of the developers decide to put that in, or something.

In the menu: Tools->Compiler Options there's an option: Add The Following Commands When Calling Compiler, and a text box under it. I think it's got something to do with that. I mean you have to like find out the path of the program and maybe use the I/O to open the file (application path + Build.txt) and find the 1st value and add 1 to it. Can that be done?
Thanks

I am 99.9% sure that is for linking (like for Direct X). Know where you put stuff like: -fvtables -trunk and stuff like that.

And the other 00.1% ??

And the other 00.1% I don't think so, but you got a better chance askin' at their boards.

Ok, I'll try. Another problem: how do you get your application path?
Thanks

The path will be the directory that the application is located, like this. If Dev-C++ was located in C:\Dev-C++, then the directory would be C:\Dev-C++\DevCpp.exe *is that what you wanted to know*

Err... Not exactly. I need to find out the path where the program is situated.

The program that you are making? Or what.........

Yes. I'll give you an example of the same thing in another language. Let's take Visual Basic, it's App.Path

Where's VBProgrammer when you need him...sorry, I can't help you anymore (dunno VB).

Hold on... Dont take care of vb. Let's say i just want to set: char filepath[250] to the path of the program itself...

Ok, Prelude....*cricket noises*...well, you can just set it mandatory like like this:
char filepath[250];

cout << "Where will the file be held?\n";
cout << "Include drive";
cin >> filepath;

and that is assuming ur using console and if you feel like doing it that way. Don't exactly know if that'll work.....or a system command might work, dunno if it will though

I dont want the user to input the path of the application, I want the program itself find out where it is located.
