The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is Dev-C++.

Dev-C++ is a free IDE (integrated development environment) for programming use in C and its derivative, C++. Dev-C++ is bundled with the open source MinGW compiler utilizing gcc and its C++ counterpart, g++. Dev-C++ is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The IDE is written in Delphi and/or its Linux port of Kylix. The project is sponsored by the open source website, Sourceforge. Dev-C++ was originally founded by programmer, Colin Laplace, and his associated company, Bloodshed Software. Dev-C++ runs on Microsoft Windows and used to have a Linux port but that project has since been abandoned. The program itself has a similar look and feel to the more widely used Microsoft Visual Studio. One additional aspect of Dev-C++ is its use of DevPacks. DevPacks are extensions on the programming with additional libraries, templates, and utilities. DevPacks often contain but are not limited to GUI (Graphical user interface) utilities. Other DevPacks include libraries for more advanced function use.
