Hi,
I'm making a game (2d) in Borland C++ builder (Yes C++ builder but when I try to compile I get this error:
[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'DirectDrawCreate' referenced from C:\PROGRAM FILES\BORLAND\CBUILDER5\PROJECTS\BREEAK\MAIN.OBJ

and

#include <ddraw.h>

is just there I think it's something with a path of a file but where?

CyberX - It is not enough to just include the DDRAW.H header file. You also need to link to DirectDraw's export library, which is called DDRAW.LIB.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Borland compilers, but there should be a linker section somewhere in your project settings. You need to add DDRAW.LIB to the list library files.

HTH,
Niki
