I also had this problem a couple of times. The good news: you just need to
make it work once, and the problem won't reappear. The bad news:
unfortunately I'm not sure what I actually did to solve it.

Few suggestions which might help you:
- try with "Compile (Ctrl+F9)" instead of "Rebuild all (Ctrl+F11)"
- close Dev-C++, edit the "Makefile.win" file, add a blank line to it, save
it. Now try again with Dev-C++

I've googled around for a "standard" solution with no luck. The best I've
found is http://forums.devshed.com/t205272/s.html, but I didn't need to
reinstall anything to solve the problem.
