Issues with Dev-C version

Dev-C 4.9.9.2 Compilation Errors and Solutions

When you compile a program using Dev-C 4.9.9.2 on Windows 11 systems, the Compiler Records pane may display the following error message:

 <code>gcc.exe: internal error: aborted (program collect2) please submit a full bug report. see<http:> for instructions.</http:></code>

Although the "compilation is successful" is finally displayed, the actual program cannot run and an error message "The original code archive cannot be compiled" pops up. This is usually due to an internal error in the linker collect2.exe .

Temporary solution:

An easy workaround is to delete the collect2.exe file. This file is usually located in libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2 folder in the Dev-C installation directory (the default path is C:\Dev-Cpp ). After deletion, just recompile the program. Note that this method is only a temporary solution and does not solve the underlying problem.

Permanent solution:

To completely solve the problem, it is recommended that you consider the following two solutions:

1. Dev-C version 5.11 maintained by Orwell: This version uses the TDM-GCC 4.9.2 compiler, which is relatively stable and reliable.

2. Use Embarcadero Dev-C Version 6.3: A version maintained by Embarcadero (formerly Borland) using the TDM-GCC 9.2.0 compiler, which is more powerful. It should be noted that the traditional Chinese interface of this version may have garbled code problems, so it is recommended to choose another language interface.

Choosing any of the above solutions can effectively solve the compilation errors caused by collect2.exe and ensure that the program can be compiled and run normally. It is recommended to choose an updated version for better compiler support and a more stable running environment.
