Dev-C++ is a free full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) distributed under the GNU General Public License for programming in C and C++. It is written in Delphi.
Bloodshed dev c free download - Bloodshed Dev-Pascal, Orwell Dev-C, Dev-C for Linux, and many more programs. Even though DEV-C is filled with advanced compiler, debugger and a wide array of dev tools, it’s installation package is quite small (only around 50 MB) and therefore can be easily installed on any modern Windows PC or laptop. Just follow the onscreen instructions, and in mere seconds DEV C plus plus will be ready for running. You can get visibility into the health and performance of your Cisco ASA environment in a single dashboard. View VPN tunnel status and get help monitoring firewall. We are pleased to announce the release of Dev-C 4.9.9.2. This is mainly a bug-fix release that should correct many known problems. It also include latest Mingw with GCC 3.4.2.
It is bundled with, and uses, the MinGW or TDM-GCC 64bit port of the GCC as its compiler. Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC-based compiler.[1]
Dev-C++ is generally considered a Windows-only program, but there are attempts to create a Linux version: header files and path delimiters are switchable between platforms.
Devpaks[edit]
An additional aspect of Dev-C++ is its use of DevPaks: packaged extensions on the programming environment with additional libraries, templates, and utilities. DevPaks often contain, but are not limited to, GUI utilities, including popular toolkits such as GTK+, wxWidgets, and FLTK. Other DevPaks include libraries for more advanced function use. Users of Dev-C++ can download additional libraries, or packages of code that increase the scope and functionality of Dev-C++, such as graphics, compression, animation, sound support and many more. Users can create Devpaks and host them for free on the site. Also, they are not limited to use with Dev-C++ - the site says 'A typical devpak will work with any MinGW distribution (with any IDE for MinGW)'.
Development status[edit]
From February 22, 2005 to June 2011 the project was not noticeably active, with no news posted nor any updated versions released. In a 2006 forum post, lead developer Colin Laplace stated that he was busy with real-life issues and did not have time to continue development of Dev-C++.[2]
There are two forks of Dev-C++ since then: wxDev-C++ and the Orwell version.
wxDev-C++ is a development team that has taken Dev-C++ and added new features such as support for multiple compilers and a RAD designer for wxWidgets applications.
On June 30, 2011 an unofficial version 4.9.9.3 of Dev-C++ was released by Orwell (Johan Mes), an independent programmer,[3] featuring the more recent GCC 4.5.2 compiler, Windows' SDK resources (Win32 and D3D), numerous bugfixes, and improved stability. On August 27, after five years of officially being in a beta stage, version 5.0 was released.[4] This version also has its own separate SourceForge[5] page since version 5.0.0.5, because the old developer isn't responding to combining requests. On July 2014, Orwell Dev-C++ 5.7.1 was released featuring the more recent GCC 4.8.1 which supports C++11.
Notable uses[edit]
On May 4, 2015, The Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong posted his Sudoku solver program in C++ on Facebook. In his screen shot, he's using Microsoft Windows and Dev-C++ as his IDE.[6]

C Dev Bloodshed Movie
A free, open-source, portable and extensible C/C++ IDE. Old Bloodshed versions are buggy and ship with a very outdated GCC compiler. Do yourself a favor: don't use the old versions. See 'info' for alternatives.
As of June 2011 Orwell, a developer independent from Bloodshed (the original developers of Dev-C++), is releasing improved and updated versions of Dev-C++. Therefore, it is not recommended to stick with the old Bloodshed Dev-C++ versions. Consider upgrading to for example:
- Orwell Dev-C++ is free, open-source, ships with a 64bit compiler including the latest resources like the Windows 7 API, and can be made fully portable with zero effort.
- Microsoft has a freeware version of their excellent Visual Studio IDE available here.
- NetBeans, free, open-source, cross-platform IDE (see 'C and C++ Development')
- Qt Creator is a free, open-source, cross-platform IDE for building C++ applications.
- Code::Blocks is often hailed as the obvious replacement for Dev-C++. It is free, open-source, cross-platform, and can be extended with plugins.
- Eclipse is also a free, open-source, cross-platform IDE with pretty robust C++ support.
Bloodshed Dev C++ 5.11
And of course, countless others are available.
So do yourself and everyone else a favor: don't use Bloodshed Dev-C++.
