C++ clustercuss

Now for the most part, I've been practicing as much as I could with C++ as far as I know it. Using the same compiler (DEV-C++) since 2 years ago. Now I'm having already mixed feelings about that compiler as it seems to be having problems, despite the fact that it seems I never had a problem with that thing before.
I can't fathom why, but after various complaints from other programmer users and such, Man what a problem Dev C++ is. And I'm so close making an executable file for my little practice project just to get my cooking up for some real challenge. I'm just doing a program of your usual algerbra/geometry. pretty much the Area and Circumference of the Circle. I just put in the necessary codes I needed to make it work. The last time I tried I forget to make dare sure that not only the files I created are in a project file, but I have to separately compile each file in that compilation. Then use the object codes from the complied files and link and build them together to make an .exe file which was what I was trying to do from the start back then, but I ended up rushing through the whole thing and I forget that extra important detail.
Now in the midst of all this, I can't seem to get my files to build and compile and link into the exccutable code. I checked everything, made sure each file was not full of errors, and were properly linked and ready to build. But it seems there's no build function, I don't know for the most part all I need was to object codes to the files which I have and even when I got everything together I get a freaking build error meaning I need to build the project somehow, but I don't know where that option is.
Then I had to go and find out what the heck was wrong with it only to find previous complaints of Dev C++ having major issue. And from the looks of the numbers of how many bugs and crud were in there. THERE..IS..A..LOT!. About over 300 bugs and glitches. So not only that it seems the complier I'm using doesn't have a build option, but trying to work on a complier that could possibly crash my computer was a worry that was now just right up there in my brain.
Well I'm almost done with my practice files but I need to make sure that all my files can get those object codes so I can turn them into a .exe. And I have two issues that are blocking it.
Well I'm already considering getting Microsoft Visual Studio C++ compiler and CodeBlocks and use either of the two to use for my programs from now on.
Well that's my gripe for this blog, thing is I don't need any much problems knowing that I'm 3 classes alway right now from getting my associates. and I have to admit I can be stubborn as Dad, but I rather not try to elaborate on that. At least I know that I have some problems and I have to fix it before Wednesday since I got my first program assignment.
