Hey everyone,

I just downloaded Visual C++ 2008 Express today, and I also downloaded DarkGDK. Everything went well. I got VC08, DarkGDK, and also installed DirectX 9.0 SDK, and I was really excited! I read the Dark GDK installation PDF, and fixed a few include errors, but then when I compiled the program, I got this error:

1>------ Build started: Project: Dark GDK - 2D Game1, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Linking...

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I almost died.

If anyone has a solution to this problem, please post it quickly!

Thanks in advance!

well, as the IDE i use is dev-cpp, i've never encountered these problems but msdn contains all documentation about VC++ errors, so best try here for the LNK2019 error:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7...e2z(VS.80).aspx - this link should contain all the information needed to fix the error, all you have to do is fix the illegal code (in your source code) according to the msdn reference and you should be good to go.

from what i have read of the LNK1120, it basically sums up all the errors so once you fix the three LNK2019 errors, it should go away with them.
