Dev c++ will allow you to but if your going to use dev c++ you need to learn to use your idea there should be a way to add to your include path and to your lib path in the IDE. I do not use dev c++ so I don't know how to set that.

Should I be setting the flags you used, the -l and -o ones? I honestly did not know Devc++ would let you compile using it from the cmd line, though it seems obvious now that you say it.
