Dev-C++

[VBMan]

Does anyone know how to use Dev-C++. I want to try to learn C++ so i figured that if I use a free compiler then I can see if i like it. I would like to know any libs i may need and those .h files. If you could tell me where to get them that would be great too.

Thanks,

~Ben

Dear VBman,
I had problem a with Dev-C++. It would not hold the console output screen for me to view. So I inserted the following line.
Insert the line
system ("PAUSE"
just before return 0;
and this will hold the output screen.
Dev-C++ version 5 is somewhat better and now available.

Quincy2002 is the easiest IDE (integreated development environment) that I have used and free also. The FTP site is often not working so try another day.

Good beginner books available from Amazon.com are:
Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days Complete Compiler Edition (4th Edition), and
Standard C++ Bible.

Good Luck,
