You might want to try another build enviroment, like code:blocks which has its own internal build system. You probably want make sure you are using the latest gcc mingw compiler and build system from mingw(use their installer, I think it was http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20120426/ ), and even if you don't go with code::blocks, make sure you are using the new branch of devc++ that was forked and still being developed. One last thing is if you go with code::blocks, use a nightly build in the forum, http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,20.0.html as they are much more up to date.
