Add the ..\Dev-Cpp\bin directory path to the
autoexec.bat(or its equivalent) file and restart your
system. Then you can use all the executables in the
..\Dev-Cpp\bin directory from any other folder through
the command line.

gcc -v at the command line would give the gcc version
number. There should be something similar for other
MingW executables.

never tried but I think you can update the files in
the ..\Dev-Cpp\bin directory keeping in mind the issue
of version compatibility.

(kindly suggest if there are better ways of doing
things)
