If you just select compile, it will only re-compile source files that have changed since you last compiled everything ... normally this is what you want, since it makes recompiling quicker, i.e. if you only change one source file, only that one will be recompiled.
The problem Dev-C++ has is that common/database.cpp has an #ifdef ZONE statement which compiles extra code if you are building zone.exe.
Unfortunately Dev-C++ is not smart enough to know that it should recompile this file when you compile zone.exe ... as far as it is concerned there have been no changes to database.cpp since it last compiled it (when you built world.exe), hence you need to do a 'rebuild all' to force it to recompile database.cpp.
Hope that makes sense.

Is there a quick way of putting it all back in, or will I just have to wait until a dev decides your code should be merged with CVS?

There is a util called diff which could be used to create context diffs between the official source and the source patched to compile under Dev-C++. Then you could just apply this 'diff' using the 'patch' command when you download the latest source from CVS.
patch and diff come with MSYS (
www.mingw.org) ... I just haven't been motivated enough to produce a diff, so for now, adding the changes back by hand is what you need to do.
