I've searched these forums and google for a C++ compiler program. I've tried 3 so far, and none of them worked for me.

I've heard that notepad is the best, but I don't know how to compile it, ect. from there.

Can anyone help me?

You need Visual Studio 6 / .NET (some people in the community can give it to you for free - illegal ofcourse)
and I believe a free compiler is Dev-Cpp

Ok. Well, I'm trying to edit catid's biller, and I'm not having any luck with the Dev-C++.

I edited it, and when I click Compile, nothing happens. Is this a user error, or what program should I use to edit catid's biller?

Well it is known that Visual Studio 6 always works, Dev-Cpp is just an alternate. Ask around if someone can provide you with Visual Studio 6 - notice it is a full cd download.

Hey, we don't do such things here!

You should buy VC++ 6, or a newer version of it.
Don't steal stuff, if you can't be arsed to pay for it then stick with the free alternative.

make a .cpp file in notepad (paste):

Code: Show/Hide

#include "stdio.h"

int main()
{
printf("goodbye");

return 0;
}

save it as myprogram.c

then get a compiler called gcc( http://gcc.gnu.org/ ) and run (on the command line):

gcc -o program.exe myprogram.c

it should produce an exe file called program.exe in the same directory

Haha!

I tried looking for GCC, but I'm either stupid and am too dumb to figure it out.. Wait, I'm just too stupid..

Is there any other compiler other than GCC, or is there a setup.exe for GCC anywhere?

Your best bet is getting MSVC++. A good, free alternative is Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ .

DevC++ by Bloodshed is a nice GUI application for the g++ compiler. You may want to check it out.

I can't get DevC++ by Bloodshed or that GCC to work. I can't even install GCC.. Who knows what else I can use that's free?

I've just given both DevC++ and the new MS VC++ 8.0 Express a try.

DevC++ - is okay, though it won't compile MySQL files. It also doesn't like the #pragma instructions - throws warning statements of malformed. And I couldn't get the DLL to be below 300Kb, when VC++ 6.0 produces 60Kb (both done in a 'release' state).

MS VC++ 8.0 - is nice, I really like it. However, it doesn't come with winsock2.h include file, and must download about a 500 MB SDK package, for hoping it'll work.

So I guess, I should have just stuck w/ what I knew what worked. MSVC++ 6.0.

I've been using the MSvC++ 8, I just copied all the libs and includes over from MSVS 6 and it works just fine.

CypherJF · Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2005 5:38 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Meh, I was thinking of copying everything over but... I didn't want to reinstall VC++ 6.

I tried compiling commands.cpp, but I got this:

Code: Show/Hide

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\Test Biller\src\command.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'PacketStruct' : undeclared identifier
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\Test Biller\src\command.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'Packet' : undeclared identifier
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\Test Biller\src\command.cpp(6) : error C2448: '<Unknown>' : function-style initializer appears to be a function definition

Any Ideas?

I recommend using VC6 because I know it works

Contact me in-game ( I am online right now) and I will send it to you.

EDIT: My online name is MMaverick btw

Contempt, you need to learn the thing you are trying to use. Obviously the code is compilable. So where is PacketStruct defined? How is it known by command.cpp? Do some file searches and figure it out for yourself. Maybe you are not defining seomthing correctly in the compiler settings. Maybe you have a bad path. Maybe you are missing some files.

Yes, I think he's missing files. Did you add the whole src to your Project?

Contempt+ · Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:47 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

No, I added just the command.cpp, I didn't know that you had to add the whole src.

Purge · Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:51 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Of course you do; it has to read from the header files.

Why is someone who has never compiled anything before doing this? Someone build it and send him the binaries.

One time has to be the first time; but I agree that you should start with some Hello world project first.

Contempt+ · Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:15 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

I see what you guys are saying, and yes, I agree with Solo.

I should start with some hello projects, I just have to redownload the file from maverick, since my power went out when it was at 48%. 600mb download, download rate of 20.0 kb/s

Solo Ace · Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:21 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Yeah do some Hello Mr Ekted, Hello Solo Ace, Hello Purge+ projects.
