Page 2 - Bloodshed Dev C++ - Trouble in Windows Vista

Yes. wxDev-C++ http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
Its an offshoot from Dev-Cpp source that is under active development. Contains a Form editor for the wxWidgets classes as well.
If you have problems when compile that it cannot find cc1.exe just do an search of the install path and copy cc1.exe to the install_path\bin directory. That fixed my problems when that happened to me on my vista machine.

Just a quick warning though, this project is still beta so it does have its bugs but works relatively fine.

Also there is Netbeans with it C/C++ add-on. It is more mature than wxDev-C++ but it does not have a forms editor. It also requires that you install the compiler yourself (mingw).

You are wrong - plenty of people have it working - from following the directions I linked to in post #7 almost a year ago. That is how old this thread is; why did you dig it up!?

If you are continuing to have problems, not posting the Compile Log means you cannot really be helped. You can get more specific advice on Dev-C++ on its own forum (to which I linked in #7).

Since MS released VC++ 2008 Express Edition, which unlike the 2005 edition includes the Win32 SDK without additional downloads and manual configuration, there are very few good reasons to continue with Dev-C++.

If you want GUI development, and do not wish to use the .NET framework which although good, requires the use of C++/CLI extensions, and you still want your tools for free, then wxDev-C++ is good choice as already mentioned.

I am having the same problem as you have described.

I can successfully compile C++ files using DEV-C++ but
when it comes to the C files I get the same message as you.

When I try a XP machine I have no problems..

Thanks,

Tom

If you have checked out the link in post #7 and set up Dev-C++ as described you should have no problem. If you do have a problem, it is either not the same problem, or you have not performed the fix correctly. Either way you should post the compile log.

Since this is a Dev-C++ IDE issue rather than a programming issue, the Bloodshed forum on Sourceforge is probably the best place to raise this in any case.
