Orwell Dev-C ++ (formerly Dev-C ++ , as it is also called for short) is a free , open source development environment originally from Bloodshed Software for C and C ++ . It runs under Windows and uses MinGW as a compiler , a Windows port of the GNU Compiler Collection . Dev-C ++ can also be used in conjunction with Cygwin or other compilers based on GCC.
Dev-C ++ was started by Colin Laplace. Dev-C ++ is developed in Delphi using the GUI toolkit VCL .
With so-called DevPaks , the Dev-C ++ development environment can be expanded, for example with new libraries or tools. DevPaks can also be used with Code :: Blocks .
Dev-C ++ is stored and managed as a project on SourceForge .
development
After the development of Dev-C ++ had stopped in March 2005, a new version was released on June 30, 2011, followed by more. The current version contains a new GCC (version 4.8.1) and also includes all the resources required for programming DirectX and Win32 . Many bugs and stability issues have been fixed.
Bloodshed still provides the outdated version 4.9.9.2 (March 2005) as "current", newer versions all appeared under the name Orwell Dev-C ++ .
Attempts to convert the project from the Delphi development environment to the Lazarus free development environment , using the Lazarus Component Library instead of the Visual Component Library , fell asleep. This would have made it possible to compile and use Dev-C ++ under Linux. There is a branch that uses Lazarus, but it has not been included in the official source code.
