Installing QuantLib using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2: the examples compile, though I cannot compile any new project - can anyone help?

Help please anyone, I am stuck:

I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2.
I have installed QuantLib 0.3.9 and Boost 1.32.0.

I compiled the "QuantLib.dev" project file, which makes the file "libQuantLib-mgw-0_3_9.a",
required for the "\Dev-C++4.9.9.2\lib" library folder.
(There was actually 1 error in this compilation, though I could not find out what it was?)
I then compiled the "Swap.dev" project found in the "\QuantLib-0.3.9\Examples\Swap" folder.
The resulting executable "Swap-mgw-0_3_9.exe" works exactly as intended outputting the NPVs of a swap. 

That should prove that I have correctly installed Quantlib. 

Next I tried to create a new project, using all the same Project Options as given in project "Swap.dev". 
No matter how simple I made the new project, I have so far not been able to compile successfully;
even simply starting with a blank new project and pasting the code of the Source File
of "Swap.dev" (i.e. pasting the code of "swapvaluation.cpp") into an empty Source File of the new project. 

Even if I do the (harmless) operation of editing out a single "cout" statement in the original Source File "swapvaluation.cpp",

then "Swap.dev" no longer compiles.  Typically, the intial lines of the Compile Log are as follows:

Any suggestions.
