cannot use mci strings

[Xterria]

hey, I'm trying to play music using

	mciSendString("open mids/level1.mid type sequencer", NULL, 0, NULL);
	mciSendString("play mids/level1.mid", NULL, 0, NULL);

and I keep getting this

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__mciSendStringA@16

I'm using opengl--if that has anything to do with it. Can someone please help me?

thanks but I know what a linker error is, I just want to know what I need to include for the mci strings

The header you need to include is windows.h, but you have to link to the Winmm.lib library as well.
