Hi pals,
I am a Newbie in C++ Programming field. I plan to add graphics.h header class in
Dev -C++ Version 4.9.9.2 from Bloodshed which is come along with Borland Compiler.
I follow the Steps in URL : http://www.uniqueness-template.com/devcpp/#step2

But I Got Error in the Sample code which test the Working , Please Help me

You can't. graphics.h is not compatible with Dev-C++

I can do graphics in Dev- C++. I am using Dev-C++. :).
Just follow the instructions carefully and do not forget to put linkers. You can't do a graphics by making a new source file. You need to do a new project to put linkers.

Yes, but you are not using the 16-bit functions that are in graphics.h that is supplied with Turbo C. I vaguely recall something that someone made a port of graphics.h for 32-bit MS-Windows compilers.

Why would you want to use graphics.h anyway? It was written for dos, and almost no one runs dos now.

Hey LogicsLab,
You can easily solve this problem, DEV-C++ do support graphics.h with a 24-bit color mode, Ive developed many apps using that,
first : Download "graphics.h" and "libbgi.a" from :
http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/bgi/dev-c++/
Second:
Make a new console Application from File->New->Project
Third:
Copy both the downloaded files into the location where u've made the project
e.g c:\DEV-CPP>

Fourth:
Goto Project->Project Options-> Parameters and copy paste this in linker tab:
-L.
-lbgi
-lgdi32
-lcomdlg32
-luuid
-loleaut32
-lole32

Fifth:
add this line in the start of your main.cpp:
#include "graphics.h"

Sixth :
write this to main()

initwindow(800,600);

Now you can use any drawing function!
you can get them from:

Enjoy!
