[Dev-C++] Linker error: Newbie question

[Chauncey W. <cw...@tw...>]

Hi all, I just joined the list, and am also just starting out on windows =
programming. =20

I have been able to get my console applications to compile and link just =
fine, but with the 2 simple windows programs (beyond Hello World) that I =
have made, I have gotten linker problems (compile log included).  I =
suspect I have to add libraries to the command line, but beyond that I =
am pretty lost.  I've been googling for a while (probably not looking in =
the right places).  I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere before, =
but my searches on the sourceforge forums have likewise left me high and =
dry.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, Dev-C++ v.4.9.7.8 / 3.2
