When attempting to compile the menudemo program from Petzold, the following
error message occurred:

menudemo.c:  In function 'WndProc':
menudemo.c:91: 'GCL_HBRBACKGROUND' undeclared (first use this function)
menudemo.c:91: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
menudemo.c:91:   for each function it appears in.)

The source code which produced this error - with the offending line marked -
is as follows:

#include <windows.h>

The source code was modified later on by pasting in the #define statements
for the GCL_ and GWL_ constants from the winuser.h file in the Microsoft
SDK; however, problems continued to persist. The program managed to compile
cleanly, but accessing any of the background color choices from the menu led
to an execution error:

Exception at 0x0000000001
Application got signal at SIGSEGV

I suspect there is a very straightforword solution to my difficulties -
perhaps I must use makelib to create a new library, and include the new
library as a link library - but as a newbie to Win32 programming, C, and
RSXNTDJ the debugging is quite a task. Any input would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
