Hye, I want to compile some Dire

[spirou]

Hye,

I want to compile some DirectX5 code i find on the Web.
I download the Borland C Compiler where DirectX7 librairies are supplied.
I configured bcc32 and ilink32 to look in the librairie and include directories but when I compile I have this message :

Error: Unresolved external 'DirectDrawCreate' referenced from C:\PERSONNEL\DEV\IA\IAMAINFRAME.OBJ

But the ddraw.h and .lib are in the directories I specified before.


Could someone help me ?

The program thinks the function "DirectDrawCreate" is an external function that it cannot find. This sometimes refers to the function not having the proper namespace set up. For example, if my program has a form named "MyForm" and I declare a function as "void DoThis(String *Name)" I would have to set it up like this:

void MyForm::DoThis (String *Name)
{
   // The function does etc., etc.
.
.
.
}

The "MyForm::" declares the namespace. James P. Cottingham
