Okay i'm not sure if i'm just dumb or what but I am new to win32 programming and using dev c++. Almost everytime I compile a program it will tell me that it cannot locate the file
nameofprogramgoeshere.o
sometimes it works sometimes it does this, i am using petzold's book and just to make sure it wasn't me i copied the source code straight from the cd and got the same thing. Any help will be greatly appreciated as i do my learning mostly at work and the free compilers are all i have ):
Oi Oi Oi!!!!
When you use Dev you must create a new project every time you make a new program.
If you use a .c or .cpp file that has not been createt by Dev, it will miss the .o file, that dev create when it create a new .c or .cpp file
I think, anyway!
therefor you must:
1. Make a new project
2. Select what type of program you gonna make (WinMain() projekt for win32)
3. Save the projekt file
3. Delete the text in the file untitled 1
4. Copy the text from the tutorial source to untitled 1
5. Save untitled 1
6. Compile and run
-then it shut work, else I don't know what to do!

I'm a newbie, so don't take my words for facks!
btw, I'm useing Dev-4
In version 4 of Dev C++
click "Project" >> "Project Options"
under Project Type
make sure the
Do Not Create Console
option is checked.
It fixed it for me, when I had same problem, however if you aren't programming in WinAPI, i don't know what the problem is.
Keep smiling, it makes the big guys wonder what you're up to.
My bad, I misunderstood what was going on.
If you don't want to start a new project you can
Load you source code file.
Click Options >> Compiler Options
Click on the Linker Tab.
Make sure that "Compile For Win32 (no console)" is checked
Click OK then compile and run your program.
