[Dev-C++] DirectX Direct Input errors

[FerretallicA <fer...@ho...>]

 Oo oi,

I've finally bitten the bullet and decided to use DX with DevC++. I've
converted a workspace from an old Visual C++ project and cleaned up
everything that needed cleaning up in the conversion except there's still
one thing that escapes me. I get the following errors when compiling:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `c_dfDIKeyboard'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `IID_IDirectInput8A'

I'm currently using the -ldinput8 library as opposed to -ldinput, and the
DirectX 9 headers (though I don't think that makes a difference to using the
DX8 headers, but I've got "#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800" to be sure).
Everything else works fine. I've tried my best to find an answer via Google
and pouring over message boards but no joy.

Help!?

Cheers,
-FerretallicA

You might possibly need to include both those libs when using Direct
Input, at least that's what it says in my book. I've been reading about
Direct Input the past few days, but haven't tried anything with it yet.

Maybe missing this at the top of your program?

#define INITGUID

or

#include<dinput.h>

[Dev-C++] How do I store HUGE numbers.

OK boy and girls.

Other than allocating a block of memory and interpreting
each of the bits myself how can I store really big numbers
(Let's stick with integers for now) in memory.

In C++ it is easy, you can create a beautiful class, with defined
operator<<(const ostream &, const yout_class &), operator int() etc. In C
you will have to make a struct with accompanying access functions.

Hehe, the above is cool.
