    I am trying to write a program in C using Dev-C++ 5.6.1. I go to compile the program, and nothing happens. It compiles with zero errors, zero warnings, and an output of 0 bytes (it doesn't even create an exe file, nor any of the .o files). I am using MinGW 4.8.1 32-bit on a 64-bit system; could that be the problem?

    Other than that, I don't know what could be going on.

    Can you paste a compile log here? That might give me a lead as to what's going on.

    General: MinGW GCC 4.8.1 32-bit Release
    Building Makefile "C:\Users\TuxRules\Documents\MTGAI2\Makefile.win"
    Executing make...
    mingw32-make.exe -f "C:\Users\TuxRules\Documents\MTGAI2\Makefile.win" all
    Compilation succeeded in 0.06 seconds

    It completes with 0 errors, 0 warnings, and 0 output file size.

    EDIT: I also get this error message on each start up of Dev-C++. I do not know if it is related to this problem.

    Seems that switching to TDM-GCC solved the problem (reinstalling from the TDM-GCC setup after removing the MinGW version). It now tells me I have errors when I compile, so it works.

    EDIT: Nope, it only works on the first run after installation. After that, its back to not working again in the same manner (minus the "No Disk" error I linked to in the previous post; that appears to be gone for good).

    EDIT 2: This problem does not appear to affect the portable version of Dev-Cpp.

    Additionally, this problem seems to have gone away in Dev-C++ 5.6.2.
