I know around 5 natural languages :) Dutch is my native language, English is directly behind it. I can also read, understand and pronounce German (can't write or speak it all that well though), I still know a bit of Latin, and I can read and partially understand French. I'm also trying to teach myself Japanese and Russian, but I'm really not that good at it yet.
Didn't mean to offend you by the way, it's just really a pain to read posts without punctuation.

That's good. :-) I like it. Please stop to speak about punctuation and spelling.... I just want to speak there about software. It isn't linguistics forum. I already fell so sad about my English but I'm improving it....
>I'm also trying to teach myself Japanese and Russian, but I'm really not that good at it yet.
If you need help with Russian language speak with me.... It's my first language. :-)

ohhh.... Thanks... But I've tried to rectreate the project, tried to reinstall Dev-C++, tried to change names of folders....
From my old message:
---------------
Step-by-step:
1. open Dev-cpp.
2. open my project.
3. set default "Build options".
4. compile. ==> Ok.
5. set my "Build options".
6. compile. ==> Ok.
7. close Dev-cpp.
8. open Dev-cpp.
9. open my project.
10. compile. ==> Error.
11. set default "Build options".
12. compile. ==> Error. :-( Even with default options.
The steps I can repeat a lot of times on my computer and each time the result of compilation will be same.

I spent around two days. If you want to try: http://comer.pisem.net/blin.zip.
Somepeople tried and they didn't have the problem but I did.
Now I recreate a structure of my project and work around.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. My working folder is c:/dev/kafe
2. My project is in c:/dev/kafe/prj/libcygwin_kafe.dev
3. The 'Build options' of the projects are
3.1. Executable output directory: ../../lib
(It is 'c:/dev/kafe/lib' in my case).
3.2. Object file output directory: ../../tmp
(It is 'c:/dev/kafe/tmp' in my case).
When I open my project first time the Dev-CPP CREATES folders: c:/lib and c:/tmp
If it can't create the folders it doesn't inform you about it but then the IDE can't create the Makefile.
It seems to me to be a bug.

I have also had this problem many times. I have come up with a solution that usually works for me. What I do is I evacuate the folder that contains the 0-size makefile(because you can't directly delete the makefile but you can delete a folder that contains one). Then I delete the folder, create a new folder with the same name, and put all the files back. Next I open up a working(non 0-size) makefile, copy what's in it to the clipboard, and paste it into a new text file. I then save this file as Makefile.win in that folder. Then I open up my project and recompile. Has worked every time. For those who might be interested(and/or can figure this out) when you try to delete a makefile you get an error that goes like this: "Cannot delete file. Access denied." Might not be exactly like that, but it's close. I am, however using Windows 98SE, so I don't know if all this advice applies with Windows XP. Wishing you luck,

How I work around for the project:
I just create on my c: drive the folders: 'c:/lib' and 'c:/tmp'. They will be empty folders but DevC++ needs them for work normally. :-)

Okay I had been running into this quite a few times as well as another Problem....
Working with a LGPL Project with *.dev's and Makefile.win's already created.
Here's my Basic System Config:
WinXP Home
C:\Dev-Cpp
C:(project)
(project currently converted from a VC6 dsp)
(others projects had .dev & .win's already premade)
1st: Several Projects kept losing setting for custom Makefile.win's and ending up overwriting Makefile.win's with an empty (0kb) file.
2nd: New Projects would end up with an empty (0kb) *.win.
After much reading, testing and checking, It turned out to be a simple FIX for the 2nd problem....
Added the following two Dir's:
C:\tmp
C:\lib
Now it compiles after creating a Proper Makefile.win for the Application.
Interestingly it also Creates C:\lib\Release Dir during Compile and my Settings have the Release files going to a Different Dir altogether....
(My current User has Admin Priviliges on XP that is running Dev-Cpp for several reasons)
So it wasn't my settings as far as I can tell. I installed Dev-Cpp for All Users. This was Also occuring when I first Installed and tested Dev-Cpp in my User Space as single User.
The 1st problem is still occurring and as the Makefile's are large and complex I did a Temp fix of Locking the File and doing any changes by hand outside Dev-Cpp... (I got tired of having to Delete and Replace it with my backup copy!! argh)
Otherwise Dev-Cpp is working rather well. I also use VC6 and KDevelop on Linux.
For a Free application is does amazingly well.

Which thread?
>Could you PLEASE learn how to use punctuation...
I learn so much.... English is my third language.... How much do you know?
>it's giving me a headache trying to read any of your comments.
Sorry.... :-)......
>Also, improving your spelling would help things along quite a bit
Thanks for the advice....

Somepeople tried and they didn't have the problem but I did.
Now I recreate a structure of my project and work around.
In my opinion, I've found the bug. For example:
1. My working folder is c:/dev/kafe
2. My project is in c:/dev/kafe/prj/libcygwin_kafe.dev
3. The 'Build options' of the projects are
3.1. Executable output directory: ../../lib
(It is 'c:/dev/kafe/lib' in my case).
3.2. Object file output directory: ../../tmp
(It is 'c:/dev/kafe/tmp' in my case).

Thank GZ for support. Now I feel more confident. That's a DevCpp bug.
Do you use 'cygwin' as well?
There are last information I have about the bug:
