I downloaded the Dev-C++ v.4.9.9.2 (installation package)
after instalation (on Windows XP)
created new C project

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  getch();
  
  return 0;
}
compiled it and run ok

changed the setting to support debug
got the error
"cannot find -lobjc"
the makefile created by the Dev-C++ is
Code:
# Project: Project1
# Makefile created by Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2
CPP  = g++.exe -D__DEBUG__
CC   = gcc.exe -D__DEBUG__
WINDRES = windres.exe
RES  = 
OBJ  = main.o $(RES)
LINKOBJ  = main.o $(RES)
LIBS =  -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib"  -lobjc -g3 -fmessage-length=0

CXXFLAGS = $(CXXINCS)   -ansi -fexceptions -fverbose-asm -g3 -fmessage-length=0
CFLAGS = $(INCS)   -ansi -fexceptions -fverbose-asm -g3 -fmessage-length=0
RM = rm -f
.PHONY: all all-before all-after clean clean-custom

 ${RM} $(OBJ) $(BIN)
$(BIN): $(OBJ)
 $(CC) $(LINKOBJ) -o "hello.exe" $(LIBS)
main.o: main.c
 $(CC) -c main.c -o main.o $(CFLAGS)
tried to roll back to default settings of the compiler - no change
I found that -lobjc option can be disabled by the compiler option "Link an Objective C program" (don't know really what does it mean.
Tried both settings ON/OFF but the make file is the same and the error stays

searched forum and google - found nothing usefull

searched lib folder of the Dev-C++ for files like *objc.* - nothing found.

Any directions? Is it some cashing problem?
Please
