This videos for all all of the computer programmer and develop and IT students. Dev c download link: MinGW file link: https://bit. Graphics.h Library For Dev C Most of the functions are two dimensional except bar3d which draws a 3d bar, you can also implement these functions using already existing algorithms. You can also use these functions in C programs. You can use these functions for developing programs in Windows 7 and Vista using Dev C compiler. How to add “graphics.h” C/C library to gcc compiler in Linux C C Server Side Programming Programming In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand how to add “graphics.h” C/C library to gcc compiler in Linux.

Graphics.h library − The graphic.h library is used to add graphics to your C program. For graphic programming, it is a must include library as it contains all required methods. For graphic programming, it is a must include library as it contains all required methods.
Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C is far too old to support C11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better.

You may be wondering how to add graphics.h in dev C++. Dev C++ does not support BGI Graphics we have to include graphics library manually. Here are few steps you must follow before using graphics.h header file. .
Download following files to the directories mentioned:
graphics.h Directory:> C:Dev-Cppinclude
libbgi.a Directory:> download to C:Dev-Cpplib) Dev C%2b%2b Graphics.h Add

Creating Project:

STEP 1: Open DEV C++ Compiler

STEP 2: Creating New Project

i. Go to File>New>Project as shown in following figure:

ii. Create New Project 'DialogBox' will appear select 'empty project'
and name your project in the space provided. Select Language
C or C++ according to your need. Press Ok and select the
location where you want to save.

STEP 4: Set linker parameters

Navigate to 'Project' menu and choose 'Project Options'. A dialogbox
will appear than select 'Parameters' option and type following in
'Linker' field.
-lbgi
-lgdi32
-lcomdlg32
-luuid
-loleaut32
-lole32

Press OK, you are now able to use graphics.h functions in your code.

STEP 5: Testing sample Program

In new versions of dev c++ compiler automatically adds one source file to
project. If there is no any existing source file simply add new file By
chossing new file option from file menu. Type the following code and
save the file. I saved file as 'main.cpp' its your chooice whatever you
name it.

STEP 6: Compiling and Runing the program

If you have followed all the steps carefully after compiling and runing the
program your output should be somthing like this:

STEP 7: Find more functions

Dev C 2b 2b Graphics.h Adding

hello altogether,
my name is Wolfram Pagels, Berlin, Germany
my status is :retired but enthusiastic c++-fan;

I use Dev-C++ since 3 month ago; in the 70th I programmed in Fortran;
after a long break I enjoy to learn c++11;

e.g.: the day before yesterday I got the following message from Dev-C++:

My second question to you: * h o w to enable (these) options at my installed and running actual mingw compiler as part of Dev-C++ IDE ?

Thank you in advance for your time,

yours sincerely

Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C++ is far too old to support C++11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C++ is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C++11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better. Currently, you can get 4.7.1 version through '>TDM-GCC ports. I recommend switching to '>CodeBlocks, which you can download as an installer that includes TDM-GCC 4.7.1. That should allow you to have decent C++11 support.

As for setting compiler options, you typically have to navigate the 'Build Configuration' or 'Project Properties' or similar panels. Usually, you will find a place to put 'custom compiler options' where you can place the exact command-line compiler option (like -std=c++11), that is, if you can't find a checkbox for the particular option you need.
