This goes out to only the users of Dev C++ (or people knowledgeable with this compiler). I am trying to consolidate all of the files needed to run Dev C++ onto a flash drive so I can use it on multiple computers. I have been having problems getting the app files to move though because the program wants them to stay in one place. It says on installation to pass the parameter "-c c:\config_file_directory" to the program but I don't know how to do that.
Thank you for the help.

To pass a parameter to the program, do it from the command line. If it's devcpp.exe. Do dev-cpp.exe -c "C:\config"

It always comes up with an error:
The Directory "C:\config_file_directory" doesn't exist. Dev-C++ will now quit, please create the directory first.
I tried reinstalling the program but that also didn't work.

DOES the directory exist?~! If it doesn't, then get a new installer or something.

It's a beta version so maybe they didn't include it because I still can't find it.

No, I have the beta version (4.9.9.2). It's weird. I can't find a config directory. I'll look around for it.

It may be that the \c is being mistaken for a special escape character, and not exactly two separate characters.
Edit: Also, for clarification, Dev C++ isn't a compiler. It is merely an IDE that uses compilers (such as mingw, etc).
