[Dev-C++] problems with linker/headers

[philip r. <ph...@ro...>]

hi

I'm puzzled.  I've been making some simple Windows apps  (running Win95 =
on an  old but otherwise reliable and virus -free machine).  For a while =
they compiled and ran OK but then they started coming up with linker =
error messages - particularly inablity to find definitions which should =
be in windows.h (actually in wingdi.h,  I think) - such as undefined =
'getstockobject',  'createbrush', 'selectobject' etc.  I've tried =
reinstalling DevC which works for a while but the same problem recurs =
and it's now pretty ineffective.  Sometimes pasting the original source =
code into empty projects also worked - but that's tedious and it's also =
become ineffective.  A few programs from the 'Examples' folder still =
compile and link successfully.  I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks
Philip
