Yes, I wasn't very clear. You have to fill '-lwinmm' to the 'further
object files or linker options', and nothing to the compiler options.
This is because only the linker has to know about the library, the
compiler will already see the function by including "mmsystem.h".
('-lwinmm' is a linker option and tells the linker to look for the
libwinmm.a library)
