Dev-C++ is Windows compiler, not DOS compiler. If you want to wait under 
Windows, use the windows.h Sleep Function -- see documentation:

citing from the Dev-C++ help:
"Compile delay
    This option is present to provide a delay before compiling. Normally, you 
will not use this. If make complains of the timestamp being invalid, try 
specifying a delay here."
