graphics.h not opening the BGI executable












0














When I run this program:



#include <graphics.h>

int main()
{
int gd = DETECT, gm;
int x = 320, y = 240, radius;

initgraph(&gd, &gm, "C:\TC\BGI");

for ( radius = 25; radius <= 125 ; radius = radius + 20)
circle(x, y, radius);

getch();
closegraph();
return 0;
}


It isn't oppening an 2nd application that must be the BGI and on the screen shows me this. Open Image



I also get a warning that says:



**||=== Build: Debug in a (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
C:UsersMIHAIDesktopamain.cpp||In function 'int main()':|
C:UsersMIHAIDesktopamain.cpp|8|warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]|
||=== Build finished: 0 error(s), 1 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
||=== Run: Debug in a (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
**


How can I fix this and run the program??

  • initgraph() is a C function that is very, very old and does not use const char* for the 3rd argument. The warning is benign and does not cause this crash. Debugging this ancient library is going to take you a while, knowing how to use a debugger is a primary requirement. Consider to move to the next project.

  • Start with checking whether initgraph succeeds.
