This repository contains all the necessary compiled files needed to run the graphics.h library in your computer.

These instructions are based on DEV-CPP IDE which you can download by clicking here

The instructions for codeblocks is given in the readme file in the zipped file.

1. First download the drivedownloadzip file from the above repo and extract it on your pc.
2. After that extract the files and paste the graphics.h file and the winbgim.h file in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\include.

Note

The address C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\include is the default path for devcpp. You can have a different path if you want, just make sure to put the header files in MinGw64\include\ folder.

3. Now copy the libbgi.a to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib\ folder.

4. Now open up your dev cpp and on the top right corner select the TDM-GCC 32-bit release option as shown in the image:

5. On the top of toolbar click on Tools and then Compiler Options as shown in the image:

6. Now add these flags to the second box of the compiler option:
   -lbgi -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32
   and click okay.

7. Now create a new file and then compile and run this program to check if everything has been installed properly:

    int main()
    {
	int gd = DETECT, gm;
	initgraph(&gd, &gm, "");
	line(100,300,200,400);
	getch();
	closegraph();
	return 0;
}
