[Dev-C++] linker problems with win32 functions...

[lamont <lam...@ve...>]

Hello,

  I'm trying to compile some example code and I'm getting the following
linker errors with Dev c++.

[Linker error] undefined reference to `GetStockObject@4'

the code that this refers to is:

winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);

Does anyone know where this function is defined?? I had similar problems
with the playsound function, but putting "-lwinmm" in the linker options
fixed this.

From Platform SDK:
...
Header: Declared in Wingdi.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Gdi32.lib.

Which means... go to, "project -> project options" and write under "further
object files...":
-lgdi32

Anyway, normally you wouldn't have ot include it for a simple GetStockObject
call, but sometimes you get that error, it's weird, does anyone know why
that happens, that sometimes the funcion is already included and sometimes
it's not?
