    Unhappy Play a sound in DevC++

    I have been fighting with this for so long now.

    How do you make a program that plays a wave or midi file using DevC++?! I have tried many ways of using PlaySound(), but an unresolvable error keeps poping up, it has somthing to do with refrence link @PlaSound12 or somthing like that. But no matter how much I search I can't find someone with the same problem let alone the answer. Could somone PLEASE help me out?

    Thanks in advance, August

    Nevermind! I figured it out!

    I had to put the switch -lwinmm in under the progect options!
    I learned that by searching for "PlaySound", then the file "libwinmm.a" popped up, from there it was obveius.

    I glad you found this out.. because I fooled around with this for many days and couldn't get any sound to work.. and eventually lost interest in adding sounds.
