so i am trying to run dev-C++ 4.9.9.2
on virtual box because because of windows`s 8
compatability issue with this version,(however
the recommanded dez-C++ 5.7.1 works fine but the
problem with this is the one used as tutorial is
the older version of dez c++)
so with virtual box i shared a folder thats on
my hostmachine, but now both of the programs
seem to be very defective (something related to
registry)
when i try to run the older version (which is the one
i want because its the one used as tutorial on youtube)
i get this message saying: there doesn't seem to be GNU make file in PATH or in Dev-c++:s Bin path, please make sure that you have GNU make and adjust Bin setting or system PATH environment variable and that make setting in compiler option contains correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compily anyhing
You have windows 8?
and you want to install virtual machine in order to use some old crapy compiler?
and you got the error that you also need to install GNU make and other GNU tools? are you serious?
whatever tutorial you read (probably verry old one) I recommend you find some other tutorial and simply install VS2013. then follow some modern tutorials.
just because of one old tutorial installing the GNU tools on the virtual machine is silly and will probaly take you more time than you can imagine just because of an old tutorial.
edit:
what are you planing to compile anyway?
I'm sure there is some better way to achive your goal...
