Simply go to "project-%26gt;project options" and link libd3dx9.a and libd3d9.a. These are the libraries you need.





The preprocessor directives





#pragma comment (lib, "libd3dx9.a")


#pragma comment (lib, "libd3d9.a")





are intended for Visual C++ I believe.
Reply:Direct3DCreate9 is defined in d3d9.h. With Microsoft compiler, import library d3d9.lib is required for d3d9.h. Linking for my D3D9 benchmark includes:
