Undefined Reference Linker Error
March 13, 2003 10:51 AM
When I try to compile a DirectX project, I get this error:
c:\dev-c++\my files\demo6_3.o(.text+0x234):demo6_3.cpp: undefined reference to `DirectDrawCreateEx@16''
Can anyone identify the problem?

make sure your application is a console application, then make sure you that your links have ddraw.lib, dxguid.lib, and winmm.lib in the project settings. hope this helps.

Dev-C++ doesn''t use lib files - at least not the .lib extension. eg
libddraw.a
Looking at libddraw.a with a hex editor, I can find DirectDrawCreate@12 - but not DirectDrawCreateEx@16 - infact, I''m not able to find DirectDrawCreateEx in any of the lib files or header files. Admittedly, my installation of DevC++ is old - Sept 2000 build. Perhaps your situation is similar. Perhaps I need to update my copy...

WHat is a hex editor? Will it help me find AlphaBlend@44? I''m currently using Dev-C++ as well.
