C++ is a statically-typed, free-form, (usually) compiled, multi-paradigm, intermediate-level general-purpose middle-level programming language.

Mar 15, 2012  To compile a source code written in a language like C with Dev C under Windows Vista Operating System, can be a difficult process. Like many problems, there are two ways to solve this one: the quick way or the other, most recommended, one, which may be a lengthy process.

In simple terms, C++ is a sophisticated, efficient, general-purpose programming language based on C.

It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979.

One of C++'s main features is the compiler. This is used to compile and run C++ code.

A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language like C++ and turns them into machine language or 'code' that a computer's processor uses.

I actually wrote this article because I had a C++ assignment which required using a compiler. As usual, everyone was using the CodeBlocks IDE and Visual Studio IDE. But I was already used to Visual Studio Code for all my programming stuff.

I then set out to find a way of compiling C++ directly inside my own VsCode Editor, hence this article :).

In this article, I'll show you how to set up your compiler in VsCode and give you some links to some of the best C++ resources.

• Prior knowledge of C++
  (I assume you're learning C++, about to start learning, or just reading this for fun. This article is not a C++ 101 tutorial – some understanding of C++ is needed.)
• Visual Studio Code Editor
  Download here and read the setup docs for Windows, Linux and Mac
• Internet connection (!important)

Disclaimer!

I will be using a Windows OS throughout this article, but I'll provide links to resources that will help those using other operating systems.

Now let's get started!

• Head to www.mingw.org and click the “Download/Installer” link to download the MinGW setup file, or click here for Windows, here for Linux, and here for Mac

MinGW, a contraction of 'Minimalist GNU for Windows', is a minimalist development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.

• After downloading, install MinGW and wait for the “MinGW Installation Manager” to show up.

• When the “MinGW Installation Manager” shows up, click on mingw32-gcc-g++ then select “Mark for Installation”

• In the menu at the top left corner, click on “Installation > Apply Changes”

• Wait and allow to install completely. Ensure you have a stable internet connection during this process.

PATH is an environment variable on Unix-like operating systems, DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, specifying a set of directories where executable programs are located. In general, each executing process or user session has its own PATH setting. - Wikipedia

After installing MinGW, it can be found in C:MinGWbin. Now you have to include this directory in your environment variable PATH. If you've been using computers for a while now you should know how to do this already, but if you don't, here are a few resources:

• Click here for a Windows OS guide
• Click here for Linux
• Click here for a Mac OS guide

Now we have our compiler set up, let's install Code Runner

Code Runner allows you to Run code snippet or code file for multiple languages:

C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Perl, Perl 6, Ruby, Go, Lua, Groovy, PowerShell, BAT/CMD, BASH/SH, F# Script, F# (.NET Core), C# Script, C# (.NET Core), VBScript, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, Scala, Swift, Julia, Crystal, OCaml Script, R, AppleScript, Elixir, Visual Basic .NET, Clojure, Haxe, Objective-C, Rust, Racket, AutoHotkey, AutoIt, Kotlin, Dart, Free Pascal, Haskell, Nim, D, Lisp, Kit, and custom command.

• Click here to download
• Or search in VsCode marketplace tab

• After installing restart VsCode
• Open your C++ file in Vscode. Here's a basic hello world program below:

Save this file as test.cpp

• Use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+N
• Or press F1 and then select/type Run Code
• Or right-click the Text Editor and then click Run Code in the editor context menu

Dev C++ Compiler Online

The code will run and the output will be shown in the Output Window. Open the output window with `Ctrl+ shortcut.

• Use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M
• Or press F1 and then select/type Stop Code Run
• Or right-click the Output Channel and then click Stop Code Run in the context menu

Hurray, you just successfully set up your C++ environment in VsCode!

Here's a quick hint: By default, VsCode's output terminal is read-only. If you're running code that requires user input like:

you won't be able to type into the terminal, Cannot edit in read-only terminal.
To fix this, you need to manually enable read-write.

• In VsCode, Go to File > Preference > Setting.
• In the User tab on the left panel, find the extensions section
• Scroll and find 'Run Code Configuration'
• Scroll and find a checkbox Run in Terminal (Whether to run code in Integrated Terminal) Check the box.

OR

• In your setting.json file, add:

Hurray, you're done and ready to roll :). Undefined reference to setenv dev c++.

Here are some C++ resources you can use to get started with learning C++

hello altogether,

Can Dev C++ Compile Command

I use Dev-C++ since 3 month ago; in the 70th I programmed in Fortran;
after a long break I enjoy to learn c++11;

One knob brighter vst free download. e.g.: the day before yesterday I got the following message from Dev-C++:

My second question to you: * h o w to enable (these) options at my installed and running actual mingw compiler as part of Dev-C++ IDE ?

Thank you in advance for your time,

yours sincerely

Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C++ is far too old to support C++11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C++ is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C++11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better. Currently, you can get 4.7.1 version through '>TDM-GCC ports. I recommend switching to '>CodeBlocks, which you can download as an installer that includes TDM-GCC 4.7.1. That should allow you to have decent C++11 support.

As for setting compiler options, you typically have to navigate the 'Build Configuration' or 'Project Properties' or similar panels. Usually, you will find a place to put 'custom compiler options' where you can place the exact command-line compiler option (like -std=c++11), that is, if you can't find a checkbox for the particular option you need.
