Dev-C++, could use some tweaking for Vista.

I just downloaded the most recent version of Bloodshed Dev-C++, which I believe is the 5.0 Beta, and tried it out in Vista. It seems to run, I coded a small program just to see what it could do, and already, it couldn't find that MakeFile bit, and gave me an error. Wonder if Bloodshed's even supporting Vista at all now. Here's the code I was trying:

// Counter.c - Test program for Bloodshed C++ 4.9
// (c)2007, RAM Digital Media

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>

// Start of program
int main()
{
     printf("Speed Counter Beta v1.0 Test Version\n");
     printf("(c)2007, RAM Digital Media, Robert A. Morin\n");
     printf("========================\n");

     int x = 100;
     printf("Press <ENTER> to start test:  \n");
     getch();

     printf ("X = %d\n", x);
     x = x + 1;

     printf ("End of Test, Press <ENTER> to return to prompt.\n");
     getch();
     return 0;
}

I was hoping that this console application would have compiled. I tried this in Win XP before, and it worked successfully. Wonder what makes Vista so different. Does this *sigh* HAVE to be built around .Net now? How much different would the code structure have to be to get this bloody code to compile right?

No, Vista is just more strict about things (which I have no problem with.) Here's a fix for using MinGW with BlitzMax on Vista. I believe the problem causing that is the same causing your problem.

My bad, THIS was the code that I was using:

// Counter.c - Test code for new C/C++ compiler installations
// Counts from 1 to 1,000 via C through Bloodshed Dev-C++ v4.9
// (c)2007, Robert A. Morin, RAM Digital Media

// Intial variables
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

// Start Code
int main()
{
        printf ("RAM Digital Media - Compiler Test - Counter v1.0 Beta\n");
        printf ("(c)2007, Robert A. Morin\n");
        printf ("----------------\n\n");
        printf ("Press <ENTER> to Start Test Program:  \n");
        getch();

        int x;
        {
                printf ("X = %i\n", x);
                x=0;x<1001;x++;
                x = x + 1;
        }

        printf ("Press <ENTER> to Return to Prompt:  \n");
        getch();
        return 0;
}

Here was the result:
