No way to compile some standard C programs?

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I'm trying to programming in just plain C.
I believe I have found a problem that limits Dev-C++ for C development.

First, Start up a new project.
In the "New Project Window":
Select "Windows Application".
Select "C Project".
Press OK.
( Save the project in a proper location.)

Now compile and run the program.
It should be OK.

Now add the following standard C library headers to the top above #include <windows.h>:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

Try to compile and run the program.
You should get a list of errors.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you.

Same kind of error appears with standard console-app.

or

just create a text file main.c and write a basic "hello world" programm. Next open it and try to compile it as a C programm.

Now I found out its ONLY the filename. Write it in uppercase letters, i.e. MAIN.C instead of main.c.

This seems to be another error of mingw (like inlcudeing conio.c instead of .h) - and the new version is not recommended,  sigh
