Hi Frank and Eike, Yes I did received a response from Eike and I have implemented quite a few of his suggestions, I have also been in contact with Prof. Olowofoyeku, who has helped me immensely offline recently.
But as Eike pointed out he was unable to help with the Win32 specific side of things and I have hassled Prof. Olowofoyeku so much over the last few days I thought I would give him a break.
So as mentioned I am now faced with the Win32 error message ld.exe: cannot find -lsdl
and I do not know where it expects -lsdl to be.
Can anyone shed some light where I have messed up?
Thanks,
Dominique http://www.DelphiGamer.com := go on, write a game instead;

During the compilation of a project using the DevPascal IDE and the latest release, I get the following error...

I gather that "sdl" is the DLL that ld.exe is looking for, but where should it be placed so that it can find it. The SDL exists in the System32 directory as well as int he same directory as the project and it still does not find it.
I have not had a response to my previous emails, so am starting to wonder if I have broken some kind of protocol before posting here?
There was a response by Eike Lange on 28 Feb. He even CCed your personal address Dominique@SavageSoftware.com.au. If you missed some mails in the list, you can check the archives at http://gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/
(Of course, if this address doesn't work, then you probably won't get *this* mail, either ...)-:
