Error 216 Dev C++ Rating: 7,0/10 7946 votes

Hi again everyone, Im running into big trouble with my compiler Dev-C, every time i compile any project, whether it is 1 im working on, or a completely. The idea pad works great! I downloaded Dec c to study for my final and I I got it working eventually haha but yeah smooth runs the laptop itself can hold some serious load but windows 10 does tend to take up space pretty quickly so a cloud storage or external memory unit is advised.

1.When I compile my dos program and execute it, Dev-C++ minimizesand then restore in a second but nothing appears ?
When creating a console application, be sure to uncheck “Donot create a console” in Project Options (when working withsource files only uncheck “Create for win32” inCompiler Options).

2.When executing my dos program, it closes automatically. How I canchange this ?
You can use an input function at the end of you source, like thefollowing example :
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system(
“PAUSE”);
return0;
}


3.After linking, i get the error“C:DEV-C++LIBlibmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8e): undefinedreference to `WinMain@16'
You probably haven’t declared any main() function in yourprogram. Otherwise, try recompiling a second time.

4.When I launch Dev-C++ i get the message saying “WININET.DLLnot found” ?
If you are missing WININET.DLL on your Windows system, you candownload it at:
http://www.rocketdownload.com/supfiles.htm

5.When I compile a file, I get a message saying 'could notfind <filename> '
Check in Compiler options if the direcories settings are correct.With a default setup, you should have :
C:DEV-C++Bin
c:DEV-C++Include
c:DEV-C++Include
c:DEV-C++Lib

6.The EXE files created are huge. What can i do to reduce the size?
If you want to reduce your exe file size from 330 Ko to 12 Ko forexample, go to compiler options. Then click on the Linker pageand uncheck 'Generate debug information'. This willremove debugging information (if you want to debug, uncheck it).You can also click on Optimization page and check 'Bestoptimization'.

7.Under Windows NT, every time i launch Dev-C++ i get the message“Failed to set data for”
The is because you are not in Administrator mode, and Dev-C++tries to write to the registry. To get rid of the error message,log on as the Administrator, or uncheck the file associationoptions in Environment options, Misc. Sheet.

8.when I try to compile I get: ld: cannot open crt2. o: No suchfile or directory. What can i do ?
Go to Compiler options, and check if the Lib directory iscorrectly set to:
C:Dev-C++Lib
(for a default installation).

Dev C++ 5.11

If this stilldoesn't work, try copying the file Libcrt2.o to your Dev-C++'sBin directory.

9.How can i use the OpenGL library and others ?
All the libraries that comes with Mingw reside in the Libdirectory. They are all named in the following way: lib*.a
To link a library with your project, just add in Project options,Further option files :
-lopengl32
This is for including the libopengl32.a library. To add any otherlibrary, just follow the same syntax:
Type -l (L in lowercase) plus the base name of the library(filename without 'lib' and the '.a'extension).

10.When i compile a file that contains references to Windowsfilename (like <Mydirmyfile.h>), i get a 'unrecognizedescape sequence' message ?

The Mingw compilerunderstands paths in the Unix style (/mydir/myfile.h). Tryreplacing the in the filename by /

11.Is there any GUI library or packages available for Dev-C++ ?

You can downloadextra packages for Dev-C++ at http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/

12.I am having problems using Borland specific functions such asclrscr()

Include conio.h toyour source, and add C:Dev-C++Libconio.o to 'FurtherObject Files' in Project Options (where C:Dev-C++ is whereyou installed Dev-C++)

13.The toolbars icons are showing incorrectly.

On some screenresolutions, toolbars icons may show up incorrectly. You shouldtry changing your screen resolution, or disable toolbars from theView menu in Dev-C++

14. It seems i've found a problem/bug thatis not specified here. What should i do ?

First, you shouldtry doing a 'Check for Dev-C++ update' (in Help menu)to know if a new version has come that may correct this problem.If there are no new version or the problem wasn't fixed thenplease send an email describing the bug to : webmaster@bloodshed.net

15.When attempting to create a setup program, i get the error'File BinSetup.exe not found'.

If you arewilling to use the Setup Creator feature of Dev-C++, you need to download and install thisfile

16.How to use assembly with Dev-C++ ?

The assembler uses AT&T (notIntel). Here's an example of such a syntax :
// 2 global variables
int AdrIO ;
static char ValIO ;
void MyFunction(.....)
{
__asm('mov %dx,_AdrIO') ; // loading 16 bits register
__asm('mov %al,_ValIO') ; // loading 8 bits register
/*
Don't forget the underscore _ before each global variable names !
*/
__asm('mov %dx,%ax') ; // AX --> DX
}

Add harmony, filter vocals, create radio and phone effects. Think of the iZotope product as a first-aid kit rather than an emergency department.The four voice synthesis modules are where the fun resides with VocalSynth. Best setup for auto tune app This is also just the most overt extra in the VocalSynth package.A variety of additional modules let you tune up or tear up your vocal tracks. These modules can either optimize your track or take it to new and exciting places.VocalSynth may be the country cousin to the serious pitch manipulators, but it has capability with a high fun factor.​. Talkbox, Compuvox, Polyvox and Vocoder modules emulate many of the vocal effects you've heard on hits from a wide range of artists.

so whenever i tried to compile it give me error 2816
ive never used dev c++ although i have used netbeans and i had to change control panel env options and put C:cygwinbin
but now im using mingw cuz dev c++ came with it.

so this is the compiler log i get;

Execution terminated

any ideas? Thanks!

seems like im the only one with the error 2816

Or you are one of the few people still using Dev-C++, which hasn't been updated in many years. If you want to use MinGW then Code::Blocks is a lot better IDE than Dev-C++.
