Getting Started

When you launch Dev-C++ for the first time, you will see the following dialog :

You can select the language wxDev-C++ will use, as well as the icon theme.

To add a XP flavor to wxDev-C++, check the ‘Use XP Theme’ box.

If you installed wxDev-C++ with the included Mingw compiler system, then all MingW compiler paths will be set to their  correct values. If you have previously installed versions of Cygwin, MSYS, or MingW, they might interfere with wxDev-C++. Although they can be used, you'll have to set up the compiler paths and settings manually in the Tools menu under Compiler Options.

If you also have the MS Visual Studio compiler installed, wxDev-C++ will attempt to detect it and add the relevant paths as well.

Now you can then proceed to the Basic Steps.
