Configuring Graphics in DEV C++

How to use Borland Graphics Interface (graphics.h) in Dev C++?

1. Place the following files in given locations

   graphics.h	( C:\Dev-Cpp\include)
   libbgi.a	(C:\Dev-Cpp\lib)

2. Using library files:
   First, you have to tell Dev-C++ where to find the library functions that WinBGIm references--this is done in the "Project Options" dialog box.
   Here are instructions on how to do this with a new project:

3. Create a new project. 

• Go to the "File" menu and select "New", "Project".
• Choose "Empty Project" and make sure "C++ project" is selected.
• Give the project name eg. myproj
• Click "OK".
• Dev-C++ will now ask you where to save your project. Save it.

4. Create/add source file(s). 
   
   
   

• Go to the "Project" menu and select "New File".

• Go to "Project" menu and choose "Project Options" (or just press ALT+P).
• Go to the "Parameters"  tab
• In the "Linker" field, enter the following text:-lbgi
  -lgdi32
  -lcomdlg32
  -luuid
  -loleaut32
  -lole32

Project Options -> Parameters:

• Click "OK".
• Write your graphics program in the source file created.
• Compile using menu “Execute” “Compile”
• Run the program “Execute” “Run”

If program is error free, then the graphics will be run.
