Thank You.

Hello kay

i am newbie also, and for me it didnt worked at all, because it is (as far as i know) impossible to import the correct workspaces from msvc++ format to devc++ project data.

for building Crystal Space i used the mingw (msys), so from console, that worked very good, for the how to you need to read the manual of cs, there it is explained in the install chapter if i remember right.

more i cant help you for now, but may be the others, they have much more knowledge than me

It is very hard to compile CS with Dev C++ because we don't have project files. However you can compile CS with mingw the normal way and the configure Dev-C++ to work with that so that you can at least compile your own projects that use CS using Dev-C++. This is explained in the manual btw.

Thanks liquid and jorrit. Now i dont need to download the MSYS.

Why not? You still need to compile CS with mingw. For that you need MSYS.
