 Dummie: How do we change this "-c" thing? i just cant do it :/ [2007-02-27 08:06]

 MI3Guy: Get my Dev-C++ Portable launcher from sourceforge. It takes care of the switches and absolute paths in devcpp.ini. http://sourceforge.net/projects/devcpp-portable [2007-03-07 08:36]

 Dagenham: You can use a batch file to launch the application, or use some program launcher, like PStart, which is capable to set command line options. [2007-11-08 23:24]

 cyann: V5.0 beta 9.2 installer is corrupted. [2008-02-02 06:14]

 Case: There just has to be a zip or a self extractor! [2008-02-23 18:02]

 James: The portable version I downloaded did not have the .hlp file included. When you go to help on the main menu you get an error. I downloaded the comparable version of the full Dev-CPP from SourceForge and extracted the hlp file (and the examples) and copied them to my portable install.

Perhaps a future version could include this as an install-time option to include the help and/or the examples? [2008-03-19 16:02]

 Replika: Just want to say thank to MI3Guy with the portable version [2008-05-21 08:17]

 rog: I just down loaded and installed. I included an older deprecated header (iostream) when I compile I get a virus alert about generic pny.exe trojan..what gives? I've uninstalled the ide. [2008-12-03 08:59]

 Vento: This is how I made Dev-Cpp work on my pen drive:
1.I installed a normal version of Dev-Cpp on my computer.
2.Copied the whole Dev-Cpp folder (by default it was C:\Dev-Cpp) to the ProtableApps folder in my flash drive (this doesn't matter, I just keep all my soft there) and deleted Uninstall.exe from pen drive copy (it's not needed, but it's recommended).
3.Opened my Codyssey options>Aplications>Add Application (I'm using Codyssey, because it's nice and accepts all kinds of files to be launched/installed easily).
4.Linked to devcpp.exe (the file that launches Dev-Cpp) in .../PortableApps/Dev-Cpp/
5. In Command-line Options window I typed:
-c config
config is the folder I ordered to keep my settings in. (it may give you an error there is no such folder, just create it. But it may not. Anyways, it's not that hard to create a folder if needed).

Since now it keeps all it's options in .../PortableApps/Dev-Cpp/config/ so it can be launched without littering the computer :) [2009-08-21 11:58]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
