This page describes 32- and 64-bit Windows processor, disk space, and memory requirements for the JDK and JRE.
Dev-C version 4.9.9.2, without Mingw compiler system and GDB. Get this one if you already have a previous Dev-C beta or already a compiler. Get this one if you already have a previous Dev-C beta or already a compiler.

See 'JDK 8 and JRE 8 Installation Start Here' for general information about installing JDK 8 and JRE 8.
32-bit Platforms
This topic describes:
Processor Requirements
Both the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) require at minimum a Pentium 2 266 MHz processor.
Disk Space Requirements
For the JDK, you are given the option of installing the following features:
Development Tools
Source Code
Public Java Runtime Environment
Dev C++ System Requirements List
For the JDK, the installed image consists of all the files installed under the directory jdk1.8.0; for the JRE, it consists of all files installed under the directory jre1.8.0.
The directory Program FilesCommon FilesJavaJava Update, or Program Files (x86)Common FilesJavaJava Update on 64-bit operating systems, contains Java Update, which enables you to keep your computer up-to-date automatically with the latest JRE releases. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/jcp.html#JSDPG759 for more information.
The installed image will, by default, be installed on the Windows drive - the drive where the Windows operating system is installed (sometimes called the system drive). Most often this will be the C drive. However, it is possible to install the installed image on any drive. For instance, the installed image for the JDK could be installed to a non-Windows drive with a custom installation.
Java SE uses the directory %APPDATA% to store temporary files. To determine the location of this directory, go to the Java Control Panel (from the Windows Control Panel). Select the General tab. In the Temporary Internet Files panel, click Settings. Note that only advanced users should modify the settings for temporary files.
In addition to the disk space required for the installed images, there must be sufficient disk space for Java Update. The following tables give the disk space requirements for the JRE and JDK, respectively:
| JRE | Installed Image |
|---|---|
| Java Runtime Environment, including JavaFX Runtime | 124 MB |
| Java Update | 2 MB |
| JDK | Installed Image |
|---|---|
| Development Tools, including JavaFX SDK | 245 MB |
| Source Code | 27 MB |
| Public Java Runtime Environment | See JRE table |
Memory Requirements
The following table lists the minimum memory requirements for Windows 32-bit operating systems.
| Version | Memory |
|---|---|
| Windows 8 | 128 MB |
| Windows 7 | 128 MB |
| Windows Vista | 128 MB |
| Windows Server 2008 | 128 MB |
Note: The minimum physical RAM is required to run graphically based applications. More RAM is recommended for applets running within a browser using Java Plug-in technology. Running with less memory may cause disk swapping, which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance. |

64-bit Platforms
This topic describes:
Processor Requirements
Both the JDK and JRE require at minimum a Pentium 2 266 MHz processor.
Disk Space Requirements
The JDK features available for 64-bit platforms are the same as those for Windows 32-bit operating systems.
The disk requirement for development tools for 64-bit platforms is 181 MB. The disk space requirements for source code and the public JRE are the same as those for Windows 32-bit operating systems, except for the JavaFX SDK (68 MB) and the JavaFX runtime (32 MB).
Memory Requirements
On Windows 64-bit operating systems, in 32- or 64-bit mode, the Java runtime requires a minimum of 128MB of memory.
Dev C++ System Requirements
Note: The minimum physical RAM is required to run graphically based applications. More RAM is recommended for applets running within a browser using the Java Plug-in. Running with less memory may cause disk swapping, which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance. |

Dev-C++ is a free full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) distributed under the GNU General Public License for programming in C and C++. It is written in Delphi.
It is bundled with, and uses, the MinGW or TDM-GCC 64bit port of the GCC as its compiler. Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC-based compiler.[1]
Dev-C++ is generally considered a Windows-only program, but there are attempts to create a Linux version: header files and path delimiters are switchable between platforms.
Devpaks[edit]
An additional aspect of Dev-C++ is its use of DevPaks: packaged extensions on the programming environment with additional libraries, templates, and utilities. DevPaks often contain, but are not limited to, GUI utilities, including popular toolkits such as GTK+, wxWidgets, and FLTK. Other DevPaks include libraries for more advanced function use. Users of Dev-C++ can download additional libraries, or packages of code that increase the scope and functionality of Dev-C++, such as graphics, compression, animation, sound support and many more. Users can create Devpaks and host them for free on the site. Also, they are not limited to use with Dev-C++ - the site says 'A typical devpak will work with any MinGW distribution (with any IDE for MinGW)'.
Development status[edit]
From February 22, 2005 to June 2011 the project was not noticeably active, with no news posted nor any updated versions released. In a 2006 forum post, lead developer Colin Laplace stated that he was busy with real-life issues and did not have time to continue development of Dev-C++.[2]
There are two forks of Dev-C++ since then: wxDev-C++ and the Orwell version.
wxDev-C++ is a development team that has taken Dev-C++ and added new features such as support for multiple compilers and a RAD designer for wxWidgets applications.
On June 30, 2011 an unofficial version 4.9.9.3 of Dev-C++ was released by Orwell (Johan Mes), an independent programmer,[3] featuring the more recent GCC 4.5.2 compiler, Windows' SDK resources (Win32 and D3D), numerous bugfixes, and improved stability. On August 27, after five years of officially being in a beta stage, version 5.0 was released.[4] This version also has its own separate SourceForge[5] page since version 5.0.0.5, because the old developer isn't responding to combining requests. On July 2014, Orwell Dev-C++ 5.7.1 was released featuring the more recent GCC 4.8.1 which supports C++11.
Notable uses[edit]
On May 4, 2015, The Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong posted his Sudoku solver program in C++ on Facebook. In his screen shot, he's using Microsoft Windows and Dev-C++ as his IDE.[6]
