IDE problem

Okay I have looked for about 2 days now for a solution. Yet I cant find one. My IDE doesn't want to run after I compile my source code. I can run it via the command line, but the IDE doesnt want to do it. It has worked in the past but even when I use 'system()' it doesnt even flash the command prompt.I have tried and looked at everything in the IDE to fix it but nothing is working.

the IDE I use Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) with Mingw/GCC 3.4.2

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and how did they fix it.

If having read that article, you decide to change IDE, I really recommend that you give Visual Studio (Express) a try. Other than a few tiny niggles, I find it so much nicer than Code::blocks. EDIT: Microsoft's intellisense feature seems to be a lot better than code prediction in other free IDEs. Only thing is of course, it's Windows only and I guess it could result in slightly less portable code.

Hope my (biased) advice is of use to you ;)

Microsoft just seem to have perfected intellisense like no other!


Microsoft default Intellisense is just crap compared to what you get from VisualAssistX. (but that is NOT free)
Fair enough ;) It does break quite a bit.

My statement was perhaps too all encompassing: I just meant that I find it better than what you get, e.g. with Code::blocks.

Thanks for the tip modoran - I hadn't realised there were commercial products for this purpose. I have updated my previous post accordingly :)

EDIT: Nonetheless, the default intellisense in VS2010 seems much more reliable that in 2008. (It's only stopped working once or twice). So I stand by the view that it's not bad as free code prediction products go.
