I used to write SDL code in devcpp and anything passed to cout is piped into a file called stdout.txt I have recently started writing a program in devcpp with glut and it seems cout is no longered piped to anywhere (not to stdout or any file). I can't seem to find the option to turn the piping back on or have it sent to stdout. Any ideas? thanks

Just because it is not nice, doesn''t mean it is not miraculous.

My guess would be that SDL high jack the standard stdout to output in a file.

In my opinion you should write your own logger, instead of using a standard stdout, this way you have more control, you can disable it, timestamp the entries, etc...

Hope this helps
