k, here's the dubs: if you use dev-c++ to create a project and specify the target as win32 gui, the 3 libraries get auto-linked in. the ide does everything. if you were using gcc from a command line, you'd have to specify -mwindows as a link option, or manually (i don't know if it would work) link in libkernel32.a, libuser32.a, libgdi32.a. if you were using msvc++ (the ide, if you're using the toolkit, you'll have to specify the libs manually), you'ld see that those 3 libs are always autolinked in.

Are they automatically linked in? To the best of my knowledge, I've
never had to link those libraries into anything I've compiled...
including DrawText and any of the example programs from Petzold's
book or Hart's Win32 System programming book or any of the graphics
books I've played around with.
