Dev-C++
Dev-C++ is a free integrated development environment
(IDE) distributed under the GNU General Public License for
programming in C and C++. MinGW, a free
compiler, is bundled with it. The IDE is written in Delphi.
The project is hosted by SourceForge. Dev-C++ was originally developed by
programmer Colin Laplace. Dev-C++ runs exclusively on Microsoft
Windows.
Bloodshed Dev-C++ is a full-featured Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) for the C and C++ programming languages. It uses the MinGW or TDM-GCC 64bit port of the GCC as its compiler. Dev-C++ can also be
used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC-based compiler.[1]
One additional aspect of Dev-C++ is its use of DevPaks, packaged extensions
on the programming environment with additional libraries, templates, and
utilities. DevPaks often contain, but are not limited to, GUI utilities, including popular toolkits
such as GTK+, wxWidgets,
and FLTK. Other
DevPaks include libraries for more advanced function use.
Dev-C++ is generally considered a Windows-only program, but there are
attempts to create a Linux version: header files and path delimiters are
switchable between platforms.
Devpaks
Users of Dev-C++ can download additional libraries, or
packages of code that increase the scope and functionality of Dev-C++, such as
graphics, compression, animation, sound support and many more. Users can create
Devpaks and host them for free on the site. Also, they are not limited to use
with Dev-C++. The site says "A typical devpak will work with any MinGW
distribution (with any IDE for MinGW)".
Development status
On June 30, 2011 an unofficial version 4.9.9.3 of Dev-C++ was released by Orwell (Johan Mes), an independent programmer,featuring the more recent GCC 4.5.2 compiler, Windows' SDK resources (Win32 and D3D), numerous bugfixes, and improved stability. On August 27, after five years of officially being in a beta stage, version 5.0 was released by Orwell.This version also has its own separate SourceForge page since version 5.0.0.5, because the old developer isn't responding to combining requests.
