Problem with Dev-C++ 4

When I compile the project with Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2, then it works fine, but if I try to compile it with Dev-C++ 4, I get linker errors: "c:\programs\forexample\examples\winmenu\main.o(.t ext+0x497):main.cpp: undefined reference to `GetDeviceCaps@8'

Maybe the problem can be that Dev-C++ 4 didn't make the main.o file and said its missing and then I copied the main.o file made by Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 to that folder.

Make sure you are linking gdi32.lib (or probably libgdi32.a)

Ok, I managed to add the libgdi32.a library and now I get following errors with dev-c++ 4.9.9.2:

to link that go to linker settings and in the box type -lgdi32

btw? why wud u use an older version of dev?

Because programs compiled with 4.9.9.2 are much bigger than with 4.
