Dev-C++

Dev-C++ isn''t a compiler, it''s an IDE. There is something YOU are doing wrong, basically, to not make it compile. It uses the MinGW compiler (minimalist gnu for win32). The compiler is excellent. You are wrong.

did you check you put a semi colon on the end of the class like this:

class myclass
{

public: 
int var;

};                //this semicolon.

 

Its easy to overlook sometimes.

And also, if you want help, it helps to actually tell us the errors you are receiving, as well as the portion of code that you receive the error on. Bad mouthing a perfectly good (and perfectly free) IDE/compiler bundle without backing yourself up (in the Lounge, nonetheless), is no way to go about fixing your problems.

Plently of people have gotten Dev-C++ to work for them flawlessly (myself included).

Yes, remember the semicolon, I forget it many times.

The new versions of Dev-C++ did not work for me. That is why I got Visual Studio .NET. Can you post up the source code?

If there is nothing wrong with the source code, you can try downloading an older version of MinGW (Or Dev-C++ with an older version of MinGW in it).

What you can also do is download Borland (I don''t remeber how to spell it, I think its pretty close...) and set it up so Dev-C++ compiles with Borland.

Here it is...and the error...

class Monster()
{
    string name;
    int expe;
    int hitpoints;
    
public:
        Monster(string mName,int exp,int hp);
        ~Monster();
        
        int Attack();
        int Die(int e);
};

1) 14 C:\Dev-Cpp\My Projects\Adventure2\monster.h
parse error before public''

2) 8 C:\Dev-Cpp\My Projects\Adventure2\monster.h
parse error before )'' token


There could just be something wrong with the my "Class"...im still a newbie so im not sure.

class Monster // no parentheses
{
  ...
};

Where did you learn to program? You either need a better book (or a book in the first place) or a good teacher. Now you know not to blame the compiler, especially when you make bad mistakes.

Next time, if you are having trouble with code relating to a class, perhaps you should search the web for some information about writing C++ classes.

Actually I downloaded the tutorial on classes from Game Tutorials and that wouldn't compile either. So I thought maybe it was the compiler... And yes I have a book...I've read it already and need to buy a new one because this one is just the basics of C++.
