ive tried unsuccessfully to set up the imageloading library IL with devc++, i read around for a while and this seems to be a common problem. i copied the include files to include and the lib files to lib, i try to set up the linker with: -lil in parameters as described in the documentation but he does not find it. he does find -ldevil (which I couldnt find anything about in the documentation) but that does not seem to be enoughed since I am getting [Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__ilInit@0' Does anybody have a clue how to set this up the proper way? And for the sake of knowledge, how can there be compilerspecific problems at all? I dont get whats being difficult about this since every compiler uses the same c?

You have to do some voodoo on the lib files to get them to work with MinGW. I forgot exactly how, but I'll just link you to the lib files you need.
