hi C/++ gurus,
I downloaded an excellent set to articles on graphics (mainly h13 stuff)
from flipcode (www.flipcode.com/demomaking). All the articles come with
source code that loads .png files and puts them through filters etc... well,
in the code, the djgpp arguments it lists to compile are:
gcc *.cpp -s -O2 -o fire.exe -lstdcxx -lpng -lz

First I got an error about not having png.h so I went off and downloaded
that and loads of other .h files it needed, but even now it fails wit the
error:
"c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open -lpng: No such file or directory <ENOENT>
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"

Can you help me sort this out, believe me I've tried, and can't. So please
help!!
Cheers,
Dave
