Hi people , i have just started using Bloodshed DevC++ 4.9.9.2 to write and compile the C/C++ programs. The problem is that its giving errors when there is no error in the program.... For example look at this program....
Code: 
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
     clrscr();
     cout<<"Blah";
}

It is the most simple program but it is still giving 3 errors in this program.
Code: 
1. `main' must return `int' In function `int main(...)':
2.  clrscr' undeclared (first use this function)
3.  Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
Whereas the same program works fine in the TurboC3(DOS based) compiler...
Can someone tell me how to make programs run in BloodShed?? Any user of bloodshed can help me as it may require to change some settings in it...
Thanx...

According to the guys at bloodshed software, users wudn't require a clrscr() .. :) so u cant use it..
instead use
Code: 
fflush(stdout);
at the end of your program..

Here's da prg..
Code: 
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
  //clrscr();
     cout<<"Blah";
     fflush(stdout);
     return 0;
    
}

Thanx sam its working now!! :)
One more question though, when we run a program its shown in DOS window, how can we make programs in GUI windows interface, using BloodShed?
Thanx..

@REY Bloodshed Dev C++ is an abandoned project now , i recommend you use Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition for C++ Development . It is Free and much better than DevC++.

*msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

Also , the C++ program you've written is according to te OLD C++ specification and is not STANDARD C++ . the program in Standard C++ would be
Code: 
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//Your code
return 0;  //If everything goes well
}

The header file Conio.h is a Borland specific file and will not compile on any other compiler than those from borland so you better not use it and do your work in Standard C++ , which compiles on all compilers .

@SAM,REY , well programming a GUI app in C++ is quite a time consuming task . You'll have to learn Win32API at the very least before you can start out even wih the most basic GUI programs .

thus , i suggest you use Visual C# Express

*msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/ .

C# is a much easier and Object Oriented programing language and you can easily program GUI and CLI apps with C# .

you can start learning C# from Microsoft Visual Studio Beginner Developer Learning Center:

*msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/

yeah, gui programming in c++ is no small affair, though it is quite interesting. If you are willing to make the investment of time to learn and gain expertise, it is quite useful.
By the way, is bloodshed C++ abandoned? That was a nice project. Why so?

zeeshan can you give me a link which says dev c++ is abandoned? I tried searching their mailing lists and forums without anything useful.

WIkipedia and the FAQ inform me that only the linux port of dev c++ is abandoned.
And qt can be used for developing GUI applications in c++ na?

well there has been no stable or development release of DevC++ since Feab 22 2005

*sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10639

but still , the correct term would be "dead" if not "abandoned" .

PS: i think they shickened out after MS released Visual Studio Express which is much better than DevC++ ;)

OK. I don't know how good it is as compared to VS, but I had heard good things about it. Still mingw is there on windows fortunately for windows users.

Users can use anything they want , but Visual Studio Express bundles the compiler , IDE and all other necessary utilities into a simple install with a good UI .
so it's perfect for beginners . and wen they develop proficiency in C++(or any othe supported language) then they can start thinking about cross-platform code .

Anyways , C# is much much beter than C++ for beginners and most tasks and it is supported on both Windows and Linux .

try this forgers win32 tutorial very simple and easy for newbie but its in c not c++

*www.winprog.org/tutorial/

or alternatively you can use book
Windows Programming By Charles Petzold

man , looking at the problem that REY is facing i don't think he can start out GUI programming with C++ yet .

@REY it's better you use Visual C# for learning and GUI apps which from my personal experience is a lot better and easier too .

Thanx a lot people for all your help and replies...
@Zeeshan should i download Visual C# 2005 or Visual C++ 2005??? Cos i also have to do a lot of C++ programming apart from GUI developing...

Well YOu can do most of the stuff in C# that you can do in C++ so VIsual C# Express would be best .

but if you really need to program in both of these languages then you can download both of them and as each IDE is just 400MB so total download will be less than <1GB .

@Zeeshan:thanks for those C# tut links...
C# is (so simple)ⁿ compared to C/C++ !!! :)
THanks once again!!

replace void with int. i guess gcc doesnt recognize void for main. also, remove .h for the header files. it is no longer needed.

My best Bet for C++ programming using easyeclipse (*www.easyeclipse.org/) on a Linux Box, but if somebody wants they can install the easyeclipse or CDT (*www.eclipse.org/cdt/) on windows also.
