Yes, I have tried that... It is a very cryptic solution... I am not sure what
it is telling me to do, or how.

I have also tried your suggestion:
g++ myfile.cpp dsound.lib

This only worked for one of my functions.  Then, I move on to other .lib files,
such as the next undefined reference I have, which is defined in dxguid.lib.
These do not get found... neither do any of he rest I am trying.  Any other
ideas?


Thanks,
Brian
