Direct Draw problem

I'm reading "Tricks of the windows gameprogramming gurus" by André Lamothe. I have begun on the first chapter about Direct Draw.
When I try to build the first DDraw example i get this error:

WinMain.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw4

I have installed the Directx SDK and I have set the search paths in the Compiler options to search the SDK lib and innclude directories.

I really hope anyone can help...:(

Here is the .cpp file by the way...

you are not linking DirectX, and if you are, you may be doing it with an older (or maybe newer) version.

check your linker and directory settings

By the way: why did you buy a DirectX 4 book, you should have bought a DX7 or DX8 book, or maybe wait till DX9 comes out.

ah yes, that one chapter called "First Contact: DirectDraw" right? anyway, just include the correct LIBs, it should tell you how in the first chapter in the book.

Just include ddraw.lib
