system( ) not working
Write your question here.
I recently got the latest version of dev c++, because I upgraded to windows 8. Now, the compiler won't recognize any system( ), like system("cls"). When I try to compile this error comes out:
[Error] 'system' was not declared in this scope
I tested with a small program on PC with windows 7, using dev c++ 4.9.2. Then I tried it on the new dev c++, and it didn't work because of that error with system().
Does anyone know how to fix this?

You should #include <cstdlib> . Then you can use std::system() (or add
using namespace std; and use system() directly). But be aware of the problems that come with system(): http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/11153/
I added that library. It compiles now, but a new error pops out now. Now it says that the executable file is not compatible with my Window's version.
Btw, that thread you linked me was very interesting. I use system ( ) for changing the color and font, and for clearing screen. I know there are some functions to change font color in c++, so I guess I'll have to get used to it. But how do I clear my screen now? Is there other way?

move the cursor position and then use '\r' unless you want to use just 1 line the whole time you do not need to move the cursor at all.
