I''m trying to build directDraw game. I''m using Ddutil.h and Ddutil.cpp so i won''t need to dirt my hands to much. I pass the compilation stage successfully, but the linker give me this message: *********************************************************** Linking... Ddex2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreate@12 Debug/DDEX2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe. DDEX2.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) ************************************************************ what could i do ?

Go to the "Project" menu
Select "Add to project"
Select "Files..."

In the "Files of type:" field choose "Library Files (.lib)"
Browse to where you installed the DirectX SDK and go to the lib/ directory

Add "ddraw.lib" to the project

Done. Recompile now.
