Firstly install MinGW, then install Dev C++ without MinGW and in Tools>>Compiler options>>Programs change all the directories and programs to MinGW for example:
instead of gcc.exe it now becomes C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe

do this for all the files there you can compile c++ and c files with Dev c++ now :)

  I forgot to mention install MinGW with g++ and make utils :D

  That is essentially the same as the advice given in PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION except that rather than explicitly pointing the tool-chain at a separate MinGW installation it tells you to point it at the default Dev-C++ MinGW subset.
  
  I am not sure what having a separate MinGW installation really brings to this solution other than perhaps even greater complexity.
