By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler Options
Here, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11
.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File
(or Ctrl+N
)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As...
(or Ctrl+Alt+S
)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp
extension, such as example.cpp
.Now, hitting
F11
should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x
, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto
since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.Tutorial

These are the recommended requirements of Dev-C: Dev-C allows you to write, compile and run a C or C program. Object-oriented programming (OOP) capabilities. It is a superset of C, which means that you can use a C compiler to compile C programs.
