Start up devc++, close the tip window.
Click file->new->project.
Select console application.
Name your projects in a meningfull way, we can call this one helloworld (best to leave your project names plain letters no spaces or funny characters)
Last check the "C Project" box
Click ok. (no, I'm not going to take a picture of that for you)
It will ask where to save the project, the default location will be something stupid, dont save it there, make a new folder somewehre and call it something that makes sense, in this case, a folder in my documents called helloworld will work just fine.
DevC++ will make you a little default program. Were going to overwrite it with our program.
Select it and overwrite it with this program.
| #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { printf("Hello world.\n"); system("PAUSE"); return 0; } |
Now click Execute -> compile and run
You will be asked for where you want to save the main soure file of the program, again, it will choose some stupid folder off in the middle of nowhere, re-select the foder we saved the project into and save it there.
Your program will be compiled into a program and run, you should see:8-)
You did it!, now play with modifying it. See what you can make it say.
