Dev C++ Embarcadero TDM GCC 9.2 Compatible?
« on: December 16, 2021, 03:44:31 am »
IF (WTFisQuestion){Jump(x)}

Just getting back into C++ after a few years away. I remembered using VS and SFML and loved it. But It seemed like VS had way more features than I'd ever need. I turned to Dev C++ because it seemed like a leaner option and I had used it when I started C++ before going to VS. Problem is I'm not sure if I'd be able to use SFML with it, due to the compiler being TDM GCC 9.2. Obviously it doesn't match any download option.

X: So I guess my question is, is there a work around for using TDM GCC 9.2? Or is compiler compatibility in the works? OR are these compilers usually backwards compatible and it should work ok?

Thanks.

SFML can work with TDM GCC 9.2, but you have to build SFML from source and can't use any of the pre-built packages.
