Orwell Dev-C++

[shywolf91]

I just download the portable application Orwell Dev-C++ from http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/ and need some help.

I usually use Borland c++ 4.5, which is installed on the computers at my college's computer lab. I needed a c++ compiler which would work at home (win 64-bit).

I copied the code I made in borland into the Orwell Dev-c++ but it didn't work. What do I need to do?

Here is the code:

//hangman
//Dylan Metz

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fstream.h>

int main()
{
char name[20];
char q[1]; //The User's Guess


ifstream myfile;
myfile.open ("hangman.txt");

myfile >> name;

cout << name;


if ( q<=0)
{
cout<<"Game Over"<<endl;
cout<<"The word was "<<name<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<"You have more guesses"<<endl;
}



return 0;
}

Code::Blocks is just as easy an interface and works with many different compiler backends.

Until the Orwell production becomes official, I'm not going to change my article. When it does, of course, I will make sure to indicate that this was an article deprecating Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. :)

Now then. Technicalities aside...

@OP
You may want to remove the .h suffix from your header names. It should compile fine then, although I would also get rid of the C-style strings on lines 10 and 11 and replace them with std::strings. :)
