Innumerable problems with irrlicht DX recompile

Well.... They'd be numerable if I'd been keeping a count...

My latest problem has been rather simple.... I'm using dev-C++ 5b and when I compile the irrlicht.dev project, I get no output file... but it says it compiled without errors...

Anyone have a clue what's wrong...?

even no .o file?

I'd check the settings. Maybe the output folder is not where you want it to be.

somtimes i get this problem with DevCpp-- i tend to find that the length of the final g++ call has a MAXIMUM LENGTH

i think this is because its going thru the command line

anyhow, when this happens, i tend to rename my files with shorter names, or put them in directories with shorter names, and sometimes it works.

however, i had no problem compiling IrrLicht 0.4.2 (didnt try 4.0)

Hehe... my problem suddenly changed... shortly after I posted, I checked few a few things, compiled it again... and got a whole load of parse errors and such....

Hmmm... I've been using Dev-C++ with a seperate MinGW install.

Does anyone have a working suggestion(with version numbers) for freeware compilers that might work?

I'd appreciate any help I could get.
