[Dev-C++] I still need help with DirectX

[Eliud R. <inq...@ya...>]

Has anyone gotten Dev-C++ 4 to work with DirectX. I'm
trying to compile a DirectX 8 program and I'm still
getting the following error message
   c:\my documents\main.o(.text+0x1d0):main.cpp:
 undefined reference to `DirectDrawCreateEx@16'

I have the following option "-fvtable-thunks" set, as
well as linking to libraries ddraw & dxguid. Also the
include files are set. I tried using the directx7
package but I get the same error. I looked over the
past postings and still haven't found a clear answer.

I'm using DirectX 7 in C and C++, and both works very well. I thought
the directx7 package works, but i got my version from this place, maybe
it's something different:

(they also seem to have directx8 now)
