Subject: How to write minimal program using GD library

I'm looking at the GD documentation (a C graphics library) and it pointed me
to a simple minimal C program. I cut and pasted this. See below.

I cannot get it to work, however, with g++ or msvc v7. When I follow the
directions with gcc, it compiles and links fine but when I try to run the
resulting program, I get the following error:

This application has failed to start because cygXpm-4.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I've downloaded nearly the entirety of Cygwin and I cannot find such a dll.
How do I make this minimal program work?

When linking with C libraries downloaded as part of Cygwin, do I have to do
anything special? The documentation says no. I would guess that gcc
automatically knows to look in C:\cygwin\lib -- is this correct?


Thanks
Siegfried
