How to Install graphics h in Code::Blocks, Problem Solved Graphics.h
Please follow below steps in sequence to include “graphics.h” in CodeBlocks to successfully compile graphics code on Codeblocks.
Step 1 : To setup “graphics.h” in CodeBlocks, first set up winBGIm graphics library.
Download WinBGIm from http://winbgim.codecutter.org/
Step 2 : Extract the downloaded file. There will be three files:
i) graphics.h
ii) winbgim.h
iii) libbgi.a
Step 3 : Copy and paste graphics.h and winbgim.h files into the include folder of compiler directory.
Step 4 : Copy and paste libbgi.a to the lib folder of compiler directory.
Step 5 : Open Code::Blocks. Go to Settings→ Compiler→ Linker settings.
Step 6 : In that window, click the Add button under the “Link libraries” part, and browse. Select the libbgi.a file copied to the lib folder in step 4.
tep 7 : In right part (ie. other linker options) paste commands
-lbgi -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32
Step 8 : Try compiling a graphics.h program in C or C++, still there will be an error. To solve it, open graphics.h file pasted in include folder in step 3 with Notepad++. Go to line number 302, and replace that line with this line : int left=0, int top=0, int right=INT_MAX, int bottom=INT_MAX,
Step 9 : Save the file. Done !
