Undefined reference errors + stdio.h errors

[D3CIM8OR]

Hello, I am attempting to program a Wii remote using the Native C++ Wiimote library by gl.tter, http://www.wiiyourself.gl.tter.org/

When I first went to compile my program, I received numerous errors about undefined functions, all of which were remedied by #include-ing windows.h and stdio.h at the beginning of the wiimote library. However, when I attempt to compile my program now, I receive a bunch of errors about undefined references

undefined reference to '__imp_time_BeginPeriod'
undefined reference to '__imp_timeEndPeriod'
undefined reference to '__imp_HidD_GetHidGuid'
undefined reference to '__imp_SetupDiGetClass_DevsA'
undefined reference to '__imp_SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetailA'
undefined reference to '__imp_HidD_GetAttributes'
undefined reference to '__imp_timeGetTime'
undefined reference to '__imp_SetupDiEnumDeviceIntefaces'
undefined reference to '__imp_SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList'
[Error] ld returned 1 exit status
recipe for target "sandbox.exe" failed

All of these errors are occuring in the object file for my program.
I am using Dev-C++ with the MingW compiler

Thank you.

Seems like you aren't linking to the library files correctly.

Looking up those functions on google and looking at the readme that comes with the source code it looks like you need these.

if you're not using VC you need to link with these libraries:
setupapi.lib
winmm.lib
hid.lib (from the DDK)

I don't use Dev-C++ or MingW but looking up how to add library files shouldn't be that hard.

Ok, I linked those files and did everything in the Readme, but i got more errors, so I gave up on Dev-C++ and tried Visual C++ 2008. I added the *WDK*\inc\api to the includes and *WDK*\lib\win7\i386 as per the Readme. Now I get a host of errors in the stdio.h.

...and a lot more errors (there's a limitation on the size of the post)

Any idea how this is happening?

Most of them seem to agree you need to change your include order, so try experimenting with that. There are other sources online.
