Make sure you are compling for windows (no console) and include all
necessary libs and include files.

Subject: [Dev-C++] windows program will no longer compile

     The program below (hello windows) used to compile.  Had to wipe my hard
disk and reinstall everything, including Dev C++.  Now when I compile, I get
the following Linker error:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\cch7Xfgb.o(.text+0x94):hellow~1.cpp: undefined reference to
`GetStockObject@4'.  I think it just must be some environment option set
wrong.   Any ideas?

                                                                Thanks, Alan
