- Your code is probably trying to link to a non-exsistant module. Check your
- header files and make sure there is a corrosponding .lib file (if possible.)
- Also check for missing source modules. I often encounter this error after I've
- obtained a new graphics, i/o library, etc, and haven't placed it in the defined
- include or lib paths. Then I hit my head and say "Wake up fool". For large
- libraries (or any library really) the best thing to do is place these things in a
- separate subdir in your compiler home dir and then edit the ide's paths options.
