Hellooo, this is my first post here, but I've been surfing the forums for a while. I'm working on a small 2D game in order to help familiarize myself with DirectX, (I'm using DX8) Anyway, when compiling my game, I get one error and 5 warnings that I need help with... I can post my entire program if you guys want it but for now I'll just post the build log.

I am having the most trouble with that error in there, Most of this code is straight out of a book on 2D DirectX Programming, and so is that erroneous line, so I'll give you the function it resides in...
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// IsTimeForNextFrame()
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
BOOL IsTimeForNextFrame()
{
static DWORD count = 0;
count = count + 1;
if (count > 100000)
{
count = 0;
return TRUE;
}
else
return FALSE;
}
the line in question is:
static DWORD count = 0;
Also, I was getting an error before telling me it didn't know where to find the .lib file "libci.lib" I checked out the platform SDK folder and it was there, but oddly enough it was a program debug database, and I was actually compiling in release mode... ?!? So why was it looking for a debug file when I was compiling in release mode? Anyway I told it where to find the file and then it shut up about it but now I get all these new errors...
