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".
