如何在Windows命令提示符下使用Dev C ++编译器编译c ++程序？

Question

I installed Dev C++ in windows and I worked with that IDE, however I want to compile my program, prog1.cpp , in windows command prompt. I opened cmd in current directory and I have tried following commands that not worked:

1. cl prog1.cpp
2. cc prog1.cpp
3. gcc prog1 prog1.cpp
4. g++ -o prog1 prog1.cpp
5. c prog1.cpp
6. cl /EHsc prog1.cpp

All of above commands cause this error: command not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. :

***Note: I don't want to install visual studio and using cl /EHsc prog1.cpp

What is the command to compile a program in cmd using Dev C++ compiler?

Answer 1

Dev-C++ is not a compiler. It's an IDE.

You need to add the path to the compilers before you can use them.

Assume you installed Dev-C++ to C:\\Program Files\\Dev-Cpp , then you need to add the following paths to %PATH% variable:

C:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\bin
C:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\libexec\gcc\mingw32\6.3.0
C:\Program Files\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\mingw32\bin

You can add it temporarily to one Command Prompt session with

path %PATH%;<more paths here>

Or refer to Google to learn how to add it permanently to your system.

After resolving the %PATH% issue, you'll be able to compile your programs with gcc (C) or g++ (C++). Note that c and cl are still unavailable (because they're not installed).
