I've Been trying to fix this code for days now. When I try to compile main.cpp
It gives me the error C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\cckKRlpR.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x26f): undefined reference to TextOutA@20'
. I've also tried including gdi32.lib and lgdi32 but It still gives me the error. If you know how to solve this problem please tell me. Here's The source code btw:
