    My code won't compile and I get the following text in the error msg

    Please submit a full bug report.
    See <url:http: www.mingw.org="" bugs.shtml=""> for instructions. </url:http:>

    Well, this link is not any longer usable! I go to the homepage for mingw and there are several download links there on the homepage, but nowhere can I find any place to submit a bug report! So, the link doesn't work and the site is no help.

    I have done some research on the web and into this problem and have been told to download the latest version of mingw and use this instead of the default compiler. I did and the new mingw is working in the command prompt window. But no where can I figure out how to make this newer version the default compiler for the DevC++ IDE that I have installed! If someone knows how to do this please let me know, so I can get this DevC++ IDE working!!

    I 've had so many issues with Dev-C++. When I posted one of them on Stack Overflow a contributor asked "Why are you using Dev-C++?" I'm beginning to ask myself that question. So far, the only way I can compile is to create my own Makefile and run it in the command window. Sow why use the IDE?
