[Dev-C++] Need help setting up Dev-C++

Hello all.

New to the mailing list and new to Dev-C++ (was using Visual C++
before, but only on lab computers on campus; would like something free
to program with).

What I'd like to do is get the latest version (4.9.9.0 I believe), but
without a compiler.

I'd like to set up MinGW 3.4.x to work with Dev-C++, as well as the
latest test release of wxWidgets (2.5.3).

I would rather not use the devpacks if that were at all possible. I
would also like to be able to just create a project for wxWindows like
you can do for Win32 Console (I currently have the Dev-C++ and
compiler, but it seems a bit outdated to me (3.3.1)).

If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jamie R. McPeek
