Problem with Dev-C++ 5.11 debugger
Please I need help with my Dev-C++ 5.11.
Anytime i launch the debugger, i get this message
"the program can start because zlib1.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix the problem"
i have reinstalled about 7 times. i have even downloaded the dev-c++ 5.11 over and over but nothing worked.
kindly assist me!
debugging with my eyes seems to be frustrating and i am not a fan of the write debugging technique as well.

The creator simply forgot to include that DLL, it is not part of the package.
Orwell's Dev-C++ hasn't been updated in over a year, is not likely to ever be updated, and was using an outdated compiler (GCC 4.9.2) with the last version released.
You should consider getting a different IDE, one that is actively supported and updated. Two that work well are Visual Studio 2015 and Code::Blocks. Both are free.
Good luck.

There is a dll with that name for download - though I am not sure if it is the right one.

To be honest, Dev C++ is pretty outdated.
Get a good complier, for example : Visual C++ 2008 portable
Good luck :)

Okay, no. Orwell Dev-C++ may start showing signs of age, but Visual C++ 2008 is definitely a no-go. davBams, if you decide to follow FurryGuy's advice to go with a different IDE and choose Visual Studio, I'd strongly recommend going with the latest version of it.

Huh? Dev-C++ is outdated, TDM-GCC was released 2014, and you suggest a compiler that is even OLDER?
VS 2015 and C:B are up-to-date. This is 2016, not 2008.

Good God. Why on earth would you recommend an IDE/compiler that's almost a decade out of date, when the most recent version is freely available? Are you trolling?

@davBams,
If you do decide to get VS 2015 you should do a custom install, Visual C++ is not installed on a default install.
If you do decide to get VS 2015, here's an introduction to debugging with VS:

If you have any questions about VS 2015, or Code:Blocks, don't hesitate to ask here. :)

Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't know Visual C++ 2015 Community was totally free.
I also didn't know that Visual C++ 2008 was even older than Dev-C++, even I also did use it in the past.
My stupid insight is that a portable C++ complier may be convenient and sufficent :X

If the full Visual Studio 2015 package is too bulky there are specialized ones available:
Visual Studio Code
Express 2015 for Desktop
Express 2015 for Web
Express 2015 for Windows 10
Visual Studio Code is for web and cloud applications and works on Mac and Linux as well as Windows.
