Jun 11, 2012 All Dev-C editions can be updated using the IDE only setups/zips. RC update The 5.3 RC10 update can be found here. To force 32bit on all new projects and non-project compiles, go to Tools Compiler Options and select the 'TDM-GCC 32bit' profile. This profile will pass -m32 and use lib32 by default.
I just recently switched to Dev-Cpp 4.9.9.2 and I'm wondering how I can force the compiler to conform to ANSI C and such things. As it is now, it lets me get away with quite a lot of strange things. ;) I of course tinkered with as much as I could in all the menus, but without much luck. Do I need to pass parameters to the compiler manually (I did notice a few parameter boxes here and there)? I'm sure there must be a guide to this somewhere? Please point me in the right direction!
Happy new year, and thanks for all previous replies to my threads! (I do read everything you guys write, it's just that I've been a bit lazy posting back. ;)

cl.exe is a tool that controls the Microsoft C++ (MSVC) C and C++ compilers and linker. cl.exe can be run only on operating systems that support Microsoft Visual Studio for Windows.

You can start this tool only from a Visual Studio developer command prompt. You cannot start it from a system command prompt or from File Explorer. For more information, see Use the MSVC toolset from the command line.
The compilers produce Common Object File Format (COFF) object (.obj) files. The linker produces executable (.exe) files or dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).
Note that all compiler options are case sensitive. You may use either a forward slash (/) or a dash (-) to specify a compiler option.
To compile without linking, use the /c option.

To find a particular compiler option, see one of the following lists:

The topic for each compiler option discusses how it can be set in the development environment. For information on specifying options outside the development environment, see:
