I for one succesfully compiled after installing mingw and msys and following these instructions:
1. Start an Msys session by clicking on the Msys icon.
2. cd to the dir where you have Torque. In my case:
cd F:/torque
3. make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 BUILD=RELEASE COMPILER=GCC3
4. make

there are MUCH better FREE alternatives than DEV C++, the FREE Microsoft Express should work just fine.

Dev C++ will not work with torque, torque is way to big for it to load, the mingw compiler will work though, just dev c++ will not let you work / compile from the gui it just crashes trying to load everything.there are MUCH better FREE alternatives than DEV C++, the FREE Microsoft Express should work just fine.

Alternative there's always Linux. It has a free compiler and is free.

You don't even have to run linux to use its compiler.
