Hello,
I am new to D programming and i'm sort of sniffing around the language. I tried
comping the program \dmd\samples\d\winsamp.d and I get the following errors:

C:\dmd\samples\d>\dmd\bin\dmd winsamp.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe winsamp,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001  All Rights Reserved

winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _SelectObject@8
winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _SetTextAlign@8
winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _TextOutA@20
winsamp.obj(winsamp)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _CreateFontA@56
--- errorlevel 4

any idea what is wrong here?
thanks!

You have to link against gdi32.lib

dmd winsamp.d gdi32.lib

C

Add gdi32.lib to the command line. Those are GDI functions.
