This document http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/SetDevCPPArm.pdf describes
how to setup an older version of Dev-C++ with a cygwin build of the
cross-compiler. The principles can be adapted for Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 and
WinARM.

Note that the current version of Dev-C++ supports multiple compiler
configurations, so you should be able to switch between the
cross-compiler and the default MinGW/GCC (useful for testing code and
producing support tools).

In general, in the Tools->Compiler options dialog, you modify the
Directories and Programs tabs to point to the equivalent WinARM tools -
these have the same name as the native tools but are prefixed
"arm-elf-".

The only problem I have found is that there is no program setting for
ramlib, which Dev-C++ uses when building static libraries. The solution
is to rename or copy arm-elf-ranlib.exe to ranlib.exe. However you need
to be sure that it does not clash with the native ranlib.exe by placing
it in a path that is not specified in the PATH environment variable, and
adding that path to Dev's "Binaries" path list.

Note that the box for creating multiple configurations is at the top of
the "Compiler" tab dialog on the enclosing "Compiler options" dialog.
Caution however, for some reason the compiler set is not stored with the
progect, so you have to set the compiler set under Project->Project
options->Compiler dialog everytime you load it. If you will only ever
use Dev-C++ for cross compilation, then you might simply modify the
default set.

Note also that the makefiles that Dev-C++ generated (called
makefile.win) can be called directly from the command line like normal,
but you will have to set the PATH environment variable to add the WInARM
binaries path.
