Any definative way of compiling with Dev C++

Post by Shaba1 »

Hello.

I am a begining C++ user. I do have expericence in C(ansi),Java,python and Basic. But I have avoided C++ until now. But I notice a post about a blender to Ogre Exporter on the elysiun/blender forums so I guess I will have to learn.

I downloaded Dev C++ and installed it. But from looking at the forums here there seems to be some dispute on how to get it to compile OGRE based programs. I found some instruction by searching on yahoo. The site that the link went to is down but I was able to get a cached copy from yahoo. Those instruction said that I would need something called Devil.DevPackage and Ogre.DevPackage from a site http://homepages.ntlworld.com/rob_edwar ... DevPackage

Don't bother going there the site is not up.

The instruction seem pretty easy to understand but as I said the needed files are not there. So is there anyway to get Dev C++ to work with OGRE?

Use the DevPaks from The Agency;
http://the-agency.sourceforge.net/xoops/modules/news/
You'll need the Ogre 0.15 MinGW Development libraries and the dependencies packages. The libraries are pre-compiled for you, so you can easily compile your own projects (or the samples) without having to compile Ogre itself.

Thanks monster. But there are a lot of download links on that page. Which ones do I get or do I just get all of them and where do I decompress them to?

Hey, sorry those are down, but I changed my net provider :/

Anyway, they shouldnt be needed now, as the Devil people applied patches to fix the problems that were giving difficulty with mingw.

The Agency devpacks are now more comprehensive and I would suggest to use those instead.

Thanks Rob and Monster. I am downloading those two files right now. Since I am new to C++ I am sure I will be back with more questions.
