Yes, Dev-Cpp seems to be a bit sloppy with compiler and linker flags...
It's also strange that the "debug" setting in Dev-Cpp is located in the
Linker flags dialog although it's clearly a compiler option.

I've also ported a project to Dev-Cpp using SDL, plib and OpenGL and
the ordering of the -l... parameters nearly drove me nuts. mingw32-g++
requires that a library libFoo.a which has references to symbols from 
libBar.a must be specified on the command line BEFORE libBar.a. So the
correct order will be something like:

-lmingw32 -lsdlmain -lsdl -lglu32 -lplibpu -lplibfnt -lplibul -lopengl32 -lwinmm


Regarding

> -DPU_USING_SDL

shouldn't that be

-DPU_USE_SDL ?

I can recall that I had some trouble with that #define until I looked
at the pu.h header file (at the bottom).

Kind regards,
Jan R.
