Does dev-c++/allegro work with Windows Vista? I'm getting a laptop, so I need to know. Thanks!

I've had no issues with my desktop except that Grabber, DEMO.EXE, and the camera example gets real dark and at points. Specter |

Allegro and Dev-C++ are working with Vista. (With Vista Home Basic for sure)(I HATE Dev-C++ -------------------------------------------------- |

There is no reason to use Dev-c++. Use Code::blocks instead. Just a friendly tip

Note that MinGW by itself does not work under Vista, although some IDEs may provide workarounds. |

Fix for running mingw on vista (or so I hear:) I've got vista up and running, but I find it more of a hassle. Currently I'm going to stick on XP but install all newer apps (eg newer version of office etc) on Vista. _________________________________________________ |

Why does everyone hate dev-cpp?

Because there are certain things that make you cool when you hate them. Some additional ones besides devc++ are Windows, Bill Gates, MS, popular music, Intel and other similar things and persons. Though DevCpp does have some major problems and there are far better free IDEs out there. __________ |

I have Dev-C++ and Code::blocks, but I allways use Dev-C++! I love Dev-C++! it's one of the best IDEs ever.I don't know why people hate it, but actually I don't care. ____ "The unlimited potential has been replaced by the concrete reality of what I programmed today." - Jordan Mechner. |

Hmm... I guess I did say that I'd use code::blocks when I got a new computer... oh well. I just don't like some of the "features" that code::blocks has. Oh well.

Personally, I dislike Dev-c++ because when I used it, it would randomly crash, some features don't work, and it's out of development anyway. That said, I don't like Code::Blocks much better. Visual Studio owns everything though. |

When you want to knock out a simple program, compile and run it without creating projects, etc dev-c++ is pretty good. However, dev-c++ crashes quite horribly when you have code completion/intellisense turned on. So that begs the question, what's the point other than having it manage your make system, when something like scite will do the job just as well. code::blocks looks interesting but it's only half complete with no intellisense, etc. I'm in the process of using eclipse, and while it's very good, eclipse really is built for the java way of working and the CDT is just a fudge that ultimately doesn't quite work. Finally, you have Visual Studio, which is just brilliant in all respects. Except creating compatible programs for everyone due to the manifest and new runtime problems that comes with it. My preferred route is to use Visual Studio for developing and mingw for building/deploying. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

You guys did know that wxDev-Cpp is still being worked on, right? They fixed all/most of the bugs since the last official Dev-Cpp release (it no longer crashes). It's what I've been using for now, and I'm quite happy with it. I guess if you install this, you'll need to install your own MinGW for use on vista still. -- |

Dev-cpp is incomplete. Its a start to something great. Unfortunately its coded in a mostly dead language, so its not going far fast. The main thing I love about dev-cpp is how easy it is to install. If I need to do some quick coding on a new computer I can be up and running really fast. |

Quote: You reinstall your IDE every night? No, I don't. Just pointing out that the SVN versions (aka nightly builds) contain features that aren't in the "stable" release. The SVN version I have (I'm at work so I can't check which it is, but it's a couple of months old) is stable though. I haven't encountered any bugs with it yet.
