No, and it would not work in any case.

Yes it does the MinGW Win32API. It would not be legal to distribute Microsoft's files in an open source tool.

You need to explicitly link libGdi32.a by adding a the -lGdi32 linker option to your ptoject's linker options. Where the MS documentation says to link XXX.lib, you should link libXXX.a (which conforms to teh GNU naming conventions). The -l option assumes the lib prefix and .a extension, so you only need -lXXX.
It is recommended that you don't use the outdated and unsupported v4. Use 4.9.9.2 (also described as v5 beta).

About libraries: First I have try to generate my program from a native source file, not from project! When I have copied the native source file to a new project, it was in good working.

Thanks Clifford!
PSDK is ok.

Still I am. My installed Devcpp (ver4) linker does not find out
the DeleteObject() and CreateSolidBrush() functions for exampl.
