When you create new project select C++ and not C that's all.

Switching existing project to C++ is little bit complicated. You can
set individual files to compile as C++ in the Project Options\Files Tab
- select the file and check Compile file as C++. However there is
probably no similar switch for linking. In wxDev-C++ close the project
and reopen it and it should link as C++. In the original Dev-C++ close
the project, open ProjectName.dev file in the project folder and change
IsCpp=0 to IsCpp=1. Reopen the project in IDE and build.
