I'm trying to compile a really simple code with just the initialize stuff and a textout but it keeps saying

[Warning] `textout' is deprecated (declared at C:/Dev-C/Dev-Cpp/include/allegro/alcompat.h:155)

code (I'm using dev-c++)

1#include <allegro.h>
2 
3 
4void init();
5void shutdown();
6 
7// main function
8int main() {
9    allegro_init();
10    init();
11  while (!key[KEY_ESC]) {
12   textout(screen,font," try printing text", 0, 0,15);
13  }
14  shutdown();
15  return 0;
16}
17END_OF_MAIN()
18 
19void init() {
20  int depth, res;
21  depth = desktop_color_depth();
22  if (depth == 0) depth = 32;
23  set_color_depth(depth);
24    res = set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 640, 480, 0, 0);
25    if (res != 0) {
26    allegro_message(allegro_error);
27    exit(-1);
28  }
29 
30  install_timer();
31  install_keyboard();
32  install_mouse();
33  /* add other initializations here */
34}
35 
36void shutdown() {
37  clear_keybuf();
38  /* add other deinitializations here */
39}

That's a warning, your program works just fine. As for getting rid of it, look upthe manual entry for textout_ex.
