Hello people,

I`m having a problem using the setupapi library with MinGW. I basically have
a "hello world" win32 app that calls SetupDiGetClassDevs(), but whenever I try
to compile I get a "test.o(.text+0x2eb):test.o: undefined reference to
`_imp__SetupDiGetClassDevsA@16'" error. I`m using MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe on Win2kPro,
and for the life of me, I can`t figure out what`s wrong.

I considered submitting this as a bug report, but I held back in case I`m doing
something tremendously stupid. The search paths in the ld scripts are all bang
on - right into the /lib (\lib) folder, and I even tried passing the direct
path to the linker, but I still get the same error. Here`s how I compile and
link:

windres -o testrc.o testrc.rc
gcc -c test.c -mwindows
gcc -o test.exe test.o testrc.o -mwindows

and for the last line, sometimes I do:

gcc -o test.exe -lsetupapi test.o testrc.o -mwindows

...but to no avail. Thanks for any help you can give me, you guys rock.
