Compiler and linker
so I am basically looking at different tutorials online on how to use the windows api but I am totally lost most of these tutorials require you to have some knowledge about setting up and configuring your compiler,such as setting directory paths etc,the problem is I can't find any resources online or tutorials that explain these,not I am a beginner to c++ but understand the concepts of programming have been programming in Java for some time,
the problem is when I try to read these windows api tutorials everything is double dutch to me,
does anybody know any good resources where I can become comfortable with these things,
I use eclipse and visual studio

If you use Visual Studio there is nothing to set up. Create an empty Win32 project add a main.cpp and copy the WinMain function from a tutorial and you are done. Nothing to set up.
BTW The best way, IMHO, to learn WinApi is the book from Charles Petzold. He explains really well and gives complete examples to run.
