[Dev-C++] I need help with directx

[Ana R. <inq...@ya...>]

I'm trying to compile a direct x program and I keep
getting the following error message
  c:\my documents\main.o(.text+0x1d0):main.cpp:
undefined reference to `DirectDrawCreateEx@16'

Does anyone knows how can I stop getting this error. I
have the following option "-fvtable-thunks" set, as
well as linking to libraries ddraw & dxguid. Also the
include files are set. Is there anything else I need
to set.

Thanks
Eliud

Maybe you are linking to an old version of ddraw ? I think you need at
least DX7 to have the function 'DirectDrawCreateEx', before you only
have 'DirectDrawCreate'. I remember there was a DirectX 7.0 package for
dev-c++ available from the dev-c++ website, if you use it there
shouldn't be any problems with compiling.
