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 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
