See if the `Programs' tab is properly set up (`Tools' > `Compiler Options' >
`Programs'). While you're at it, check the `Directories' tab also. My guess
is that one of these has not been configured properly. Try installing Dev
into a `simple' path; one without special characters (hyphens) and long
filenames, something like `d:\program\devcpp'.

It's weird that it happens only for large projects. How many files do you
have in the project?

Some options are unavailable (or changed) in 3.2, and therefore
corresponding options in Dev generate warnings that they're no longer
available. GCC 3.2 is much more ISO-compliant than 2.95, and also creates
more efficient (and sometimes smaller) EXEs. However, if you want to use Dev
with the project and nothing seems to work, 2.95 is worth a try.

And a Happy New Year!!!!! WOOHOO!

Sorry.
