Vista and Dev-Cpp

Vista and Dev-Cpp

For unexplicable reasons, Dev-Cpp does not compile correctly under Windows Vista.

It seems that Microsoft's OS messes up with environment paths, or something.

After a morning of swears and curses, I found a post on SourceForge's forum, featuring a workaround.

All you have to do is:

1. go in "tools > compiler options", move on "directories" tab and add "C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2"
2. go in "programs" ad put "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\" before any executable name

Naturally, put no quotation marks and eventually replace C:\Dev-Cpp\ with your Dev-Cpp installation folder.

This seems to work. Upsetting anyway
