[Dev-C++] dev-cpp vim integration (Newbie)

[<Rog...@ho...>]

I am studying C++ and would like to use vim and dev-C++ together on
two platforms. (Linux and Windows) Problem:  It is a bit cumbersome to
use vim and then to switch to dev-cpp. Is there some way these two can
work together or am I stuck with changing back and forth. I like vim a lot
as an editor as I do dev-cpp as a compiler. Any advice would be appreciated.
dev-cpp ver:4.9.5.0
vim ver:6.1

Thanks!

Roger.
