When i compile a file, i got the message "Out of environment space". What should i do ?
Are there any Benchmarks or comparisons with other compiler systems ?
After i compile my source file, i launch it but i get the message "WINSERV.DLL not found ?
When i execute my file after compiling, the dos window comes but closes immediately ?
When i compile a file, the program freezes. What can i do ?
1. When i compile a file, i got the message "Out of environment space". What should i do ?
You should first locate the path to COMMAND.COM (usually c:\command.com). Open your config.sys file and type at the end of the file :
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P
(assuming C:\COMMAND.COM is the right path to it)
2. Is it possible to write games with Mingw32 compiler ?
Of course, you can write games or graphic program. You are just limited by your imagination :-)
3. Are there any Benchmarks or comparisons with other compiler systems ?
The compiler used with Dev-C++ (Mingw32) is a compiler from the GCC family ported to Win32 (this compiler has been written on the web by thousands of programmers from different country). It is one of the most powerful compiler available for free on the web.
4. After i compile my source file, i launch it but i get the message "WINSERV.DLL not found ?
Try to move the file Lib\libwinserv.a to another directory not setted in your dos path (for example create a new directory and put it inside). Then, recompile your file and see if you still get the same results.
5. When i execute my file after compiling, the dos window comes but closes immediately ?
This happens only on some system (usually on Windows NT). You will have to use a function in your source to ask the user to press a key before quitting.
6. When i compile a file, the program freezes. What can i do ?
You can set in Project Options to see the compiling results in a dos screen.
7. When i compile, i get a message saying "No include path in which to find iostream.h" or something.
Put the SET commands from Bin\setc.bat in autoexec.bat so the environment settings for the compiler are set. Also include you Bin directory to your PATH. Reboot your system and Dev-C++ should work.
