Bloodshed Dev C Portable C development environment for Windows by Bloodshed Software. FireFox Add-Ons The following Add-Ons turned out to be quite useful on a long term view: Adguard AdBlocker. Softwarelist was developed by Christian Walther. Google updates its Gboard iOS keyboard app with dark theme.
Getting Dev-C++The author has released Dev-C++ as free software (under GPL) butalso offers a CD for purchase which can contain allBloodshed software (it's customizable), including Dev-C++ with allupdates/patches.

You should let the installer put Dev-C++ in the defaultdirectory of C:Dev-Cpp, as it will make it easier to later install add-ons orupgrades.
UsingDev-C++
This section is probably why you are here.
All programming done for CSC161 will require separatecompilation projects (i.e. class header file(s), class implementation file(s)and a main/application/client/driver file). This process is relatively easy aslong as you know what Dev-C++ requires to do this.
Step 1: ConfigureDev-C++.
We need to modify one of the default settings to allow you to use the debuggerwith your programs.

- Go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Compiler Options'.
- In the 'Settings' tab, click on 'Linker' in the left panel, and change 'Generate debugging information' to 'Yes':
- Click 'OK'.
Step 2: Create a new project.
A 'project' can be considered as a container that is used to storeall the elements that are required to compile a program.
A 'project' can be considered as a container that is used to storeall the elements that are required to compile a program.
- Go to the 'File' menu and select 'New', 'Project...'.
- Choose 'Empty Project' and make sure 'C++ project' is selected.
Here you will also give your project a name. You can give your project any valid filename, but keep in mind that the name of your project will also be the name of your final executable. - Once you have entered a name for your project, click 'OK'.
- Dev-C++ will now ask you where to save your project.
Step 3: Create/add source file(s).
You can add empty source files one of two ways:
You can add empty source files one of two ways:
- Go to the 'File' menu and select 'New Source File' (or just press CTRL+N) OR
- Go to the 'Project' menu and select 'New File'.
Note that Dev-C++ will not ask for a filename for any new source file until you attempt to: - Compile
- Save the project
- Save the source file
- Exit Dev-C++
You can add pre-existing source filesone of two ways:
- Go to the 'Project' menu and select 'Add to Project' OR
- Right-click on the project name in the left-hand panel and select 'Add to Project'.
In this example, more than 3 files are requiredto compile the program; The 'driver.cpp' file references'Deque.h' (which requires 'Deque.cpp') and'Deque.cpp' references 'Queue.h' (which requires 'Queue.cpp').
Step 4: Compile.
Once you have entered all of your source code, you are ready to compile.
Once you have entered all of your source code, you are ready to compile.
- Go to the 'Execute' menu and select 'Compile' (or just press CTRL+F9).
It is likely that you will get somekind of compiler or linker error the first time you attempt to compile aproject. Syntax errors will be displayed in the 'Compiler' tab at the bottom of the screen. You can double-click onany error to take you to the place in the source code where it occurred. The'Linker' tab will flash if there areany linker errors. Linker errors are generally the result of syntax errors notallowing one of the files to compile.
Once your project successfullycompiles, the 'Compile Progress' dialog box willhave a status of 'Done'. At this point, you may click'Close'.
Step 5: Execute.
You can now run your program.
You can now run your program.
- Go to the 'Execute' menu, choose 'Run'.
Note: to pass command-line parametersto your program, go to the 'Execute' menu, choose'Parameters' and type in any paramaters youwish to pass.
Disappearing windows
If you execute your program (with or without parameters), you may noticesomething peculiar; a console window will pop up, flash some text anddisappear. The problem is that, if directly executed, console program windowsclose after the program exits. You can solve this problem one of two ways:
If you execute your program (with or without parameters), you may noticesomething peculiar; a console window will pop up, flash some text anddisappear. The problem is that, if directly executed, console program windowsclose after the program exits. You can solve this problem one of two ways:
- Method 1 - Scaffolding:
Add the following code before any return statement in main() or any exit() or abort() statement (in any function):
/* Scaffolding code for testing purposes */
cin.ignore(256, 'n');
cout << 'Press ENTER to continue...'<< endl;
cin.get();
/* End Scaffolding */
cin.ignore(256, 'n');
cout << 'Press ENTER to continue...'<< endl;
cin.get();
/* End Scaffolding */
This will give you a chance to viewany output before the program terminates and the window closes.
- Method 2 - Command-prompt:
Alternatively, instead of using Dev-C++ to invoke your program, you can just open an MS-DOS Prompt, go to the directory where your program was compiled (i.e. where you saved the project) and enter the program name (along with any parameters). The command-prompt window will not close when the program terminates.
For what it's worth, I use thecommand-line method.
Step 6: Debug.
When things aren't happening the way you planned, a source-level debugger canbe a great tool in determining what really is going on. Dev-C++'s basicdebugger functions are controlled via the 'Debug' tab at the bottom of the screen; more advanced functionsare available in the 'Debug' menu.

Using the debugger:
The various features of the debugger are pretty obvious. Click the 'Run to cursor' icon to run your program and pause at the current sourcecode cursor location; Click 'Next Step' to step through the code; Click 'Add Watch' to monitor variables.
Setting breakpoints is as easy as clicking in the black space next to the linein the source code.
See the Dev-C++ help topic 'Debugging Your Program' for moreinformation.
