Dev-C++ compiling problem

Whenever I first try to compile a project with Dev-C++ 4.9.9.0, I get an error message stating [Build Error] No rule to make target `all'. Stop. and a window pops up stating "Could not create Makefile!!!". This only happens when I try to compile the program after first creating the new project. If I exit Dev-C++ and reopen the project, it compiles fine. I had a similar problem with an earlier version of this program, but never found out what …

Since none replies and it reminds me of some issues I met when I dealt with DevCpp the first few hours ... still I am a bit too tired to remember the details or extrapolate your case. I'll maybe give more details tomorow, ping back here (I bookmarked) if you are still stuck. Meanwhile, I suggest :

- you elaborate your question more :
-- give some details on "what kind of project ?"
(windows .exe?, .dll?, static library?, console .exe ?)
-- what kind of files in your project ?
-- libs linked
-- etc ...
-- which steps you followed to make it (and fail).

- you try simple test projects
-- console with a C main and printf.
-- then if it works, something more difficult closer to your project.
-- etc ...
