[Ace-users] Undefined reference error

[Amal Pillai]

Maybe you did not link against the ace library (libACE.dll) ? I don't
use codeblocks, but a quick run of your code without linking with the
ACE library made the linker throw up the same set of errors ... I
don't think you need to use WinMain.

BTW, I use ACE 5.5.1 with gcc 3.4.5 (mingw) on a XP SP2.
