3Hi, if you do not have a really specific purpose to use Dev C++ which is native for windows you can take a look on various different IDE don't need an additional layer to work on linux.

Code::Blocks from the default Ubuntu repositories is an alternative to Dev-C++ with similar features. Code::Blocks is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is based on a self-developed plugin framework allowing unlimited extensibility. Most of its functionality is already provided by plugins. Plugins included in the base package are:
- Compiler frontend to many free compilers
- Debugger frontend for GDB
- Source formatter (based on AStyle)
- Wizard to create new C++ classes
- Code-completion / symbols-browser (work in progress)
- Default MIME handler
- Wizard to create new Code::Blocks plugins
- To-do list
- Extensible wizard based on scripts
- Autosave (saves your work in the unfortunate case of a crash)
Compare this functionality to the functionality of Dev-C++ and you'll see the resemblance, so it's worth a try.
To install Code::Blocks open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install codeblocks g++ xterm gdb # optional g++-8

Thank you . Code Blocks worked for me . But I would still like to know the reason for output screen not showing in Dev C++ – Khushboo Gupta Sep 24 '18 at 08:11

Go to
/home/username/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Dev-Cpp(For me the directory for Wine is in my own user's home directory. You just need to run it separately through browse to c: drive, then where you saved your project and run it using Wine. – karel Sep 24 '18 at 08:26 -
Maybe you don't need to install this program because you have C++ installed already, but if you do need it here is the link for instructions on how to install it in Ubuntu: Wine Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 link to download it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 – karel Sep 24 '18 at 08:30

Ubuntu's official repository still has Code::Blocks 16.01 but the latest is 17.12. The command provided by Karel in this answer will install Code::Blocks v16.01. To install Code::Blocks v17.12, download it from here. Then run:
tar -xf codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
sudo dpkg -i *17.12*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
