I have Dev-C++ 4.0 but I use ConTEXT most of the times (in fact it enables 
me to harness powerful Borland BC++ 5.5 compiler): I only write console 
programs so probably what I say does not suit your case (I know nothing 
about wxWindows programs).

I don't miss it :) In fact, ConTEXT has projects too (they allow too keep 
files together, a sort of putting all the sheets in one folder) and also I 
use a makefile generator which creates "makefiles" that manage programs 
whose source code is spread across more than one file.

sorry, too difficult for me to answer.

I don't think so, in fact Dev C++ only compiles "projects". Using "make", 
would mean that Dev C++ had the ability to convert a "makefile" into a 
"project", and this is something that vers. 4.0 of the program doesn't do, 
it does the opposite though: I mean that you can write a project (using 
Dev-C++) then generate a makefile out of the project (actually the result 
is not a "smart" makefile), finally use "make" and the makefile to compile 
your program.
