Dev-C++ Compiler Error 1

[CaptainCorianne]

I tried writing a very simple basic game program in Dev-C++, but for some reason when compiling it always fails. I don't know why, and I have been over the code many times. The only error message it gives is:

make.exe *** [project2.exe] Error 1

All the other forum posts I can find about it there is more than one line of error code telling the person what went wrong, but it only tells me this. It always happens when linking. Has anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it?

You are using an outdated IDE and very likely an outdated compiler. Blooshed Dev-C++ is dead.

If you're fond of Dev-C++, go here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/

Alternatively, you can use Code::Blocks:
http://www.codeblocks.org/

or VS2012 if you're on Windows and don't have anything against Microsoft:

(choose the desktop option)

Thank you! I am disappointed to hear that Bloodshed Dev-C++ is dead, but thanks for the other options :)
