Sorry, we no longer support Dev C++. For Windows we recommend to use either Code::Blocks or VisualStudio.

Allright. I tried install it in CODE::BLOCK too.
I don't have file "Irrlicht_Win32-gcc.cbp" to open it! In "Irrlicht Engine wiki - Installing Irrlicht" is wrote: Irrlicht_Win32-gcc.cbp if your are using Code::Blocks but I don't have this file ;//

It's in the source/Irrlicht folder. Or better - use the one in the examples folder (that will also compile all the examples which is good to do as a first thing anyway).

It's called Irrlicht-gcc.cbp I think. But examples/buildAllExamples.workspace should allow you to build all the examples in code::blocks including a build of the library.

Yea, It really work. Thanks Alien ;) But what I must to do to the other my projects can be compile? When I compile new project then show me this: C:\irrlicht-1.8.1\examples\Moje Testy\Testy1\main.cpp|1|fatal error: irrlicht.h: No such file or directory| How can i include that include?

For (nearly) all c/c++ libs you always have to set the include path and the library path. The include path has to be set to the place where the header of your library is and the library path to the place where the library is (.lib or .a depending on compiler). Search through the project settings in and you will find both paths somewhere (library path in some linker option tab in c::b I think). If you were to use Makefiles instead of an IDE those would be the -I and -L options.
If you check the project files of the Irrlicht examples they also should set those 2 paths (but your relative path can be different as your own project can be somewhere else than the examples).
