Thread: Dev-c++ 4.0 compile errors

I'm new to c++ programming so i downloaded the dev-c++ compiler by bloodshed and everytime i go to compile it gets and error and won't compile even on basic "hello world" stuff

I'm not on my own computer at the moment, i'm at college but basically it says something about it can't do something with -o, -S and something else which i can't remember

well then there is some fix, some fix that i just forgot..


be specific boy, if you ain't gonna open ya mouth, how can i read ya mind ?

This is the error:

not necessarily, 4 has a LOT less bugs then 5 does. And sometimes 5 will screw up your program, so you have to re-compile it to get it to work right.

I have 4 and 5 on my computer, for compatability. For Win32 and DirectX I use 5, for Allegro I use 4.

I have solved the problem it was my syntax

Aside from upgrading the IDE (as suggested by bljonk) you should more importantly get the most recent Mingw release.
