Setting up a ifm - project with Dev-C++

Dear Members,

has anyone experiences with setting up the HelloWorld - example with Dev-C++ - Development environment ??

Best Regards,
Henilein

To precise the problem:

Dev-C++ doesn't support project dependencies. Therefore it is not possible to attach the ifm - project as described in the Hello - World -  tutorial to the Hello - World - project.

Has anyone a workaround ?

Any answers are appreciated.
Best Regards Henilein

I have no experience with Dev-C++, but probably you'd have to compile the IFM project separately, and then link to the IFM library from the IFM module project. We used to do this in Visual Studio, too, but having both projects has the big advantage that Microsofts IntelliSense works fine, i.e., you get information about the arguments of all IFM functions when writing them etc.
Note that you do not have to use the full version of Visual Studio - the free Express edition is usually sufficient for IFM projects that do not need sophisticated code optimization.

Dear Peter,

thank you, works fine.
Exactly as described in your example.

Hi,

I am new to c++ and IFM programming. I am setting up the environment with VS C++ 2010 for IFM programming.
I am following the steps mentioned in the ifm_example.pdf which i found from the net.
At step 5 in the document that is compiling the projects, I am stuck since I am getting an error build failure as below.

I read on rhe forum that this issue has been resolved in the patch 6.06 hence I also downloaded the patch 6.06 but still I am getting the same error.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue.
