Really doesn't not make any sense. Dev-C++ is NOT a compiler, it is merely a neat Windows based GUI which supports the GCC compiler.
Once you understand that Dev is just a GUI front end, running on Windows, (and being supported by volunteers) you begin to see the utility of using a Windows RAD type of tool like Delphi. One could *ALMOST* make the case that you could use Visual Basic....ack, I can't believe I said that.
If you want to undertake to do something like Dev with gcc and something akin to TCL/TK or Windows API stuff, I am sure that there is a niche that can be fit into. You have a good chance of success, as long as I am NOT on your development team, messing things up.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. Can Dev-CPP be configured to use other (cross-)compilers besides mingw (SDCC, gnuc6811,...)?
2. Why Dev-CPP can't be rebuilt using Dev-CPP?

1. it can > compiler options. see compiler options / programs.
2. dev-cpp is written in borland Delphi, not just c or c++.
Please note that the question:
"Why Dev-CPP can't be rebuilt using Dev-CPP? "
