This guide explains how to set up Dev-C++ on Windows using Powershell Script, along with configuring graphics libraries for development.

I. One-Command Installation

You can install and configure Dev-C++ with graphics support using a single PowerShell command (run as Administrator):

The flags of the Linker options are copied to clipboard at the end of the script execution

II. Manual Configuration Steps

1. Select the Compiler Version

• Open Dev-C++.
• Set the compiler version to TDM-GCC 4.9.2 32-bit Release from the dropdown menu.

2. Configure Compiler Options

• Navigate to: Tools > Compiler Options

• Add the following flags to the Linker options:

  -static-libgcc -lbgi -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32
  

Notes
