Hello,

  I'm trying to compile some example code and I'm getting the following
linker errors with Dev c++.

[Linker error] undefined reference to `GetStockObject@4'

the code that this refers to is:

winclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);

Does anyone know where this function is defined?? I had similar problems
with the playsound function, but putting "-lwinmm" in the linker options
fixed this.

Right you are.

About your question, I think the problem is that a lib isn't being linked
in; probably the CommonDialog library. Try adding `-lcomdlg32' to the
`Linker Parameters' under project options.

Also, please don't post so much code; initially, just describe your problem
with the error message and maybe a couple of lines of code (the EOTT lines).
If someone can't figure it out, you'll be asked to post more code.

Thanks.

Hello List,

I don't use c/c++ too often, and when I do, it's in a Unix environement.
The software I've written usually just compiles.

I've got a simple application that I'm trying to compile on Windows with
the Dev-cpp environment (Dev-c++ 5.0 b7, gcc 2.95.3).  It uses the
PostgreSQL C library called libpq.  I seem to be having trouble getting
the mingw32 environment set up to compile libpq programs though.  For
simplicity sake, I'm starting out with a sample program used for
explanation at the url:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/aw_pgsql_book/node147.html

On Linux I compile the program by doing:
cc pg_test.c -o pg_test -lpq

However I'm not able to compile to get the same results in devc++.

Has anyone had any luck with the postgres client library, and if so, can
you ouline the steps you used to set up your environment?

Thanks in advance,

I have written a programm and it runs without any problems at win =
NT/200/XP.
But on win98/SE/ME it breaks with error in Kernel32.dll.
The Programm starts but if I close a new Window it breaks, the only =
function call is the PostQuitMessage.  =20

Can someone help me ?

You didn't exactly give us any clues as to what your problem is.

Note that a number of function calls are only awailable on NT/2000/XP.
Unicode, waiting for timers etc are extensions in the NT series of the
Win32 API.
