Problems with Dev-C++ compiler, "HELP"

[BEY48230]

"HELP PLEASE" I down loaded Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 on my laptop and I wanted to test the program by by cutting and pasting the "hello world" loop program in C. on to dev-C++ program:

 
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  for(;;)
      { 
          printf ("Hello World!\n");
      }
      system("pause");
      return 0;
}

I click on compile and the compiler box pops up for about 2 seconds then goes away, I then click on run and it says "Program is not compiled"
Is there a library file I need to download or what?????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may want to either set the option to "build before run" (I presume that dev-c++ has such an option), or use the "build" option. Compile only compiles the source code into an object file, but the object file needs to be linked to an executable file before you can run it.

This code is bad due to implicit main.
I also suggest you get another IDE because Dev-C++ is outdated, buggy and creates horrible indentation.

My recommendation of an IDE + compiler + debugger is Visual Studio.

Or just go with ViM (On *nix) or SciTE (On Windows) and use the gcc suite.
