Oh well, IDEs are overrated.
A good programmer uses command line functions.
For Dev-C++, use the windows version of GCC included with Dev-C++.
Execute the compiler using this command
DriveLetter:\...\Dev-Cpp\bin\c++ -c yourfile.cpp -o yourfile.o
To execute the linker use this command:
DriveLetter:\...\Dev-Cpp\bin\c++ -Wl--startgroup yourfile1.o
yourfile2.o ... yourfileN.o -Wl--endgroup -o yourprogram.exe
To execute the program:
yourprogram
It's way better than messing around with watches, flags, and all that
other gobblety gook included with IDEs.
A simple use of notepad and the DOS prompt are all I need.
I'd like to show you how to install and use OpenGL. That's where you
can really start making programs outside of the DOS prompt.
