compiler problems...

sigh, I am using Dev c++ and am having trouble with ddraw.lib
If your wondering why I am not using VC++, here are my reasons
1 VC++ can't compile headers for beans, unlike dev C++
2 VC++ can't run a simple console program on my computer because it can't FIND the command line!
3 I have spent hours no with it and success

anyway... I first tried reimping the ddraw.lib into libddraw.a, and the compiler didn't like it.
then, I used a directx devpack, it didn't like it either... it said something about needing an unqualified id before the < token , and expected a , of ; before the < token... the program works fine without the header, since I am just making the thing run a blank window right now... any ideas on what is wrong?

Simply, change the includes on the devpak to the includes in the DirectX SDK, that worked for me.

ummm, the directx sdk is in .lib format, and dev c++ can't use .lib format, so how would that do anything. and it is not a linker error.
