You can do what pulpfist said or you may use pragma to add it, such as:
#pragma comment( lib, "ddraw" )#pragma comment( lib, "dguid" )
Which will make the linker search for ddraw and dguid both in the project folder and in the main lib folders you have set up (which pulpfist showed you how to update).
Also, you don't actually try to use the directx init function from your main() function.
And besides that you are going to use the Windows SDK in order to actually use WinMain() to get several variables which are needed for DirectX.
Take a look at this code for more help on setting up directx/windows.
