    First you need to compile and build it.

    Or simply press this button ringed here in red.

    could be a prob with where u put your dev folder. Or a problem with the actual download.

    Worst comes to worst, remove dev++ from your system and do a fresh download of the latest version, and just follow the instructions. Other than that I'm not to sure.

    1.Open dev it should reside in my computer in your c:drive
    2. click file.
    3.click new
    4.click source file.
    5.paste your code in there
    6.click execute
    7.click compile and run
    8.Save as 'test' or whatever

    And that should be it.
    If that doesn't work then it could be a problem with your actual download. Rather than trying to find out which file may be corrupt it may be better just to do a fresh download.

    But like i said, it's hard to tell what the problem is.

    Ok it would seem, the makefile is missing or corrupt as opposed to you not knowing how to compile and run a program.

    Your best bet would be to remove your existing dev++. Do this from control panel and then download a fresh version of dev++
    Try this and see what happens.

    When you download it, don't change the directory or anything. Just leave it as the default.

    Make sure you download the full setup that includes the MinGW compiler. That's somewhere around a 9MB download.
