Re: [Dev-C++] Newbie question on issue / bug reporting

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Note that Libs=3D is empty and that the linking is done using the full
library name (excluding path).

Note that the libraries are not specified with the -l parameter, so gcc
will not care about any library paths (-Lxxx).

An expected link line should have looked like:

gcc ... -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib -lole32 -loleaut32
