Note: you may want to checkout the official
Dev-C++ FAQ (or it's mirror).
FAQ
- Why can't I use conio.h functions like clrsrc()?
- How do I emulate the MS-DOS pause function?
- What about a Linux version?
- Why is this FAQ so small?
Because conio.h is not part of the C standard. It is a Borland extension, and works
only with Borland compilers (and perhaps some other commercial compilers).
Dev-C++ uses GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection,
as it's compiler. GCC is originally a UNIX compiler, and aims for portability and
standards-compliance.
If really can't live without them, you can use Borland functions this way:
Include conio.h to your source, and add C:\Dev-C++\Lib\conio.o to "Further Object Files"
in Project Options (where C:\Dev-C++ is where you installed Dev-C++).
Please note that conio support is far from perfect. I only wrote it very quickly.
There are two ways. You can do it this way:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf ("Press ENTER to continue.\n");
getchar (); // wait for input
return 0;
}
Or this way:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system (""); // execute M$-DOS' pause command
return 0;
}
There was a Linux version, but it has been abandoned, mainly because Dev-C++ is
written in Delphi, but the Linux version of Delphi (Kylix) wasn't as promising as
it should have been. But there are excellent alternative IDEs for Linux, such as
KDevelop and
Anjuta. If I have to choose between
those two, I would choose for Anjuta. Though personally I don't use an IDE at all,
just messing around with 3 terminals and gEdit with autoident. ;-)
Probably because it's still in construction. Who knows.
