Where i can find dinput.h!? (BC5 does not have it.)

Did you download the DirectX Software Development Kit?

No. that is too big (impossible to download)!

I am porting my staff from Delphi to cpp ...
In Delphi i had a header file only - so i know that
there is nothing in it that needs more that just some
small header files ...

(i could use Delphi DI header - but i REALLY do not want this mess ...)

I have found a ~1MB zip that contains dinput.h, but i get a
error by linking :
Error: Error: Unresolved external 'C_DFDIKEYBOARD' referenced from C:\APPLE\BORLAND\BC5\PROJECT\CLIMB\TEMP\CLIMB0.OBJ

How to fix that!?

NB! Is somewhere a forum related to c problems ...

Sorry, but you do need more than dinput.h. Header files are just declarations to the compiler that certain functions exist. You still need to have those functions fully defined. In the case of DirectX, this means having the relevant .lib files. You need those libs in order to proceed (that is what the Unresolved External is about.) You will need to get the DirectX SDK, or at least a cut down version of it, if you can find it.

The one i have currently is from NeHe tutorial (23).

As the missing external is a constant i vas able to create
it - and now it works, but still ...

How can i know what lib is missing ...

currently i have add dinput.lib and (just in case someone
needs it)dxguid.lib

#include objbase.h
#include initguid.h // to solve other missing externals.
#include dinput.h

C_DFDIKEYBOARD - is a const. Why the hell is it not defined in
dinput.h as others!!!
