[Dev-C++] Cannot find -lfox

[Maya <Esc...@ne...>]

I am using FOX version =  FOX_MAJOR  1, FOX_MINOR  1, FOX_LEVEL  30.
When compiling I get this message:

-I"C:/cygwin/usr/include/c++/3.2"  -I"C:/cygwin/usr/include/c++/3.3.1"  
-I"C:/cygwin/usr/include/c++/3.3.1/backward"

-I"C:\DEV-CPP\\include\fox"
windres.exe -i Project1_private.rc -I rc -o Project1_private.res -O coff

I installed fox using Fox.devpak, what else should I d?

The FOX library name is usually spelled "libFOX.*", with uppercase  
letters for the "FOX" part. The link line that you showed appears to be  
looking for a "libfox.*", where the "FOX" part is spelled with  
lowercase letters.

You probably need to check the list of libraries linked into your  
application (however that is done in Dev-C++) and change the spelling  
of that library from "fox" to "FOX".
