[DX8] Help!

I just copied a tutorial to my PC and I''m getting the error message when the compiler is linking: d:\c++ development\projects\spacegame\window.o: In function `WinMain'': //d/c++ development/projects/spacegame/window.cpp:124: undefined reference to `D3DXShutdown(void)'' d:\c++ development\projects\spacegame\d3dx_methods.o: In function `D3DXInit(HWND__ *)'': //d/c++ development/projects/spacegame/d3dx_methods.cpp:49: undefined reference to `Direct3DCreate8@4'' D3DXInit() is a method I''ve created which just initializes all the D3DX objects. Direct3DCreate8 is a built in DX8 method, is it not? Any suggestions would be appretiated.. I can''t seem to figure out what "undefined reference" should mean?

Messed with it a little, I think I'll give up with this IDE and use the MSVC IDE which comes with Lamothe's book.

If I'm really screwed I'll go out and buy a MSVC IDE

DirectX is just like any other library except it uses COM. It is linked to like anything else. Make sure that you have the *.a libraries in the lib directory.
