For Johnny (johnny1988) and your welcome
since the thread you posted to has been

people to yell at you for not paying attention!!

I believe I am telling about well known but not solved problem:
when compiling there are comes errors:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `__glutInitWithExit@12' and etc.

(1)My version of Dev-Cpp is 4.9.9.2

(2)The code is:

include <windows.h>

include <gl/glut.h>

include <stdlib.h>

void display(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

glColor3f(1.0, 1.0,1.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex3f(0.25, 0.25, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.75, 0.25, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.75, 0.75, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.25, 0.75, 0.0);
glEnd();

glFlush();
}

void init(void)
{
glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);

}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize(250, 250);
glutInitWindowPosition(100, 100);
glutCreateWindow("hello");
init();
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}

(3) Full log is:

This symbols do not exist in libglut32.a (a scan of the file, and a Google search will tell you that). My guess as a result of Googling is that you are using a book that uses these functions and that they are provided perhaps as part of the source code associated with the book.

BTW you have attempted to link the same libraries multiple times, and modified the standard Dev-C++ lib path. I wonder why?
