SECURITY WARNING !!!Anybody can add devpak at devpaks.org and thesedevpaks are not tested before showing, so you cannot trust them.Also note that devpak can during installationrewrite any file on your system and duringuninstallation delete any file on your disk,so it's not recommended to install themunder administrator rights.See details e.g. here.If you want to see content of devpakprior to installing it, seedocumentation.If you are looking for reliable devpaks,use Dev-C++ primary devpak server.
However, if you find some dangerous devpak,
send email to admin (link is at the bottom of this page) and I will
remove it.
What is a devpak?
Libraries (especially open source libraries) are typically distributed
as sources. That's great, but sometimes it might be difficult or just
time consuming to compile such a library. So the creators of
Dev-C++ introduced
devpak -- development package, which contains precompiled version of
a library, so even a beginner can use them. Dev-C++ also includes
several tools for downloading, installing and creating packages.
Can I use devpaks only with Dev-C++?
No. A typical devpak will work with any MinGW
distribution (with any IDE for MinGW). Simply rename the file from
something.devpak to something.tar.bz2 and open it with an
archiver (e.g. 7-zip). You will see
one file with some meta information (name, version, author etc.)
and a directory. Simply unpack the contents of the directory to your MinGW
directory tree.
The Code::Blocks IDE has plugin
for installing and manipulating devpaks.
How can I create a devpak?
Dev-C++ contains PackMaker tool for creating devpaks. You can also read
the tutorial
by Michel Weinachter about creating devpaks manually. Or simply
open a devpak with your archiver and figure it out yourself :-).
The DevPackage file format is described
here.
How can I add a devpak to this repository?
Simply log in and then you will see the 'Add new devpak' link at the bottom
of this page. If you are not registered, click on the 'New user' link at the bottom.
Where can I host the devpak file?
If you have some homepage it's simplest to put the file there. This is good as it
decomposes the traffic to many different servers. If your devpak fulfils
The Open Source Definition
I can register you as a developer to the 
devpaks project on SourceForge so you can host files there.
Forum
There is now forum at sourceforge.
2013-12-26: All of the devpaks with broken links were hidden. If it is
your devpak, you can log in, correct the URL and unhide the devpak.
I've corrected support for non-ASCII characters. All names should be now
displayed correctly. However note that:
* usernames are now case sensitive,
