Trouble running basic console app

[Tom English]

Hi,

I'm just beginning to learn how to use Dev-C++ and I've run into a problem compiling the basic console application that appears when you start a new console project.

I am running version 4.9.7.0 of Dev-C++ on a 64-bit Windows Vista Machine.

Here is the code:

include <iostream>

include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

As you can see, it is just the basic starter code.
Now, when I compile it, I get the following error:

Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp work\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp work\Makefile.win" all
Execution terminated

Also, I have the following directories Added to the "C++ Includes" tap under the compiler options:
C:\Dev-Cpp\include
C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++

Anyone got any advice?

Note: I am running the version of Dev-C++ that came with the book C++ for Dummies. I know its a little outdated, but the book is geared toward working with that version, so I'm reluctant to upgrade. Would this help?

Hello. If you still have problems with the makefile. Receive this message again:
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp work\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp work\Makefile.win" all
Execution terminated

The workaround I use is (1) to save all files, (2) exit Dev-Cpp, (3) delete the Dev-Cpp generated makefile, and (4) restart the Dev-Cpp.
Dev-Cpp will generate a new makefile. Your project should now compile and run!

Never mind, I decided to upgrade on my own and it now works fine. Sorry for wasting your time if you read all that.
