[Dev-C++] Compilation problem

[Philip B. <phi...@pb...>]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to compile a program that uses Direct input 8, and I believe =
that I have done everything correctly, but the linker will not include =
dinput8.lib for some reason. I am using the Microsoft Direct X October =
SDK release from 2006, so there should be no problem what so ever. It is =
finding the file, that's for sure, but it is giving me a strange error =
that I can't for the life of me figure out how to solve. The log is =
below.

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\C++ tests\Direct input\Makefile.win"
Finding dependencies for file: C:\C++ tests\Direct input\Direct =
input.cpp
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "C:\C++ tests\Direct input\Makefile.win" all

I simply can't make any sense out of it. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
