I recently started looking at Pascal, getting hold of a compiler, etc. However, the compiler I got throws this error at me when I try to compile my first simple "hello world" program: cpp: Too many arguments C:\Dev-Pas\bin\windres: C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\My Documents\Programming stuff (important)\Pascal crap\rsrc.rc:1: parse error It's all French to me. What the frak is a parse error? I don't want to switch compilers; I really like Dev-Pascal. Looks user friendly and stuff, unlike freepascal. As far as I can see, it's an IDE and a compiler, so I don't think I have to link it to a compiler or anything. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary - simply installed it, created my first project, first source, and attempted to compile the source. Helpish? Edit: Hmmmmm, this is odd. The source will compile on it's own, but in a project, it doesn't want to compile. Since I can work off just a source for the time being, this is now pretty trivial - but I still don't know why it doesn't want to compile a project.

Is this dev-pas from the makers of the ever so shit dev-cpp? That would explain all your problems. ____________ I see 57,005 people. |

Even Frim wuvs Dev-Cpp. And he's a mad, scheming, cynical blue cat.

as for that problem, it doesn't like long filenames. So try creating a project in "c:\aa" or something... ____________ :o |

I think it might be to do with the fact that theres spaces in my dir name. :/ Or, it could be that it doesn't like long filenames, like you said. I'll try both. Edit: Yeah. Yeah that was it. Well, either that or the lack of spaces, as "C:\Programming_(important)\Pascal" works fine. Thanks muchos.

Thats a good compiler, one that doesnt like long filepaths or spaces :|. I mean none of us have long filepaths or spaces in them. ffs to egt to "my documents" in windows is a long file path with spaces in it! I agree with PEader, dev-c++ is crap, as so, probably, is dev-pas

I'd rather have dev-pascal than use Freepascal and it's scary DOS environment.
