    problem displaying image

    I just started learning windows programming with forger's tutorial, but I'm stck on the bitmap part. It keeps giving me errors:

    In function 'Z7WndProcP6HWND_jjl'
    [Linker error] undefined reference to 'DeleteObject@4'
    [Linker error] undefined reference to ...
    etc.

    im using dev c++ and windows xp

    main.cpp
    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include "resource.h"
    
    const char g_szClassName[] = "myWindowClass";

    Those are linker errors which arise because you have not linked the correct libraries. The simplest solution for you would be to start over with a new project and make sure you select 'Windows Application' from the available 'new project' choices; this will ensure that a default subset of windows libraries will be linked when you build your project.
