Linker error in C. while using <graphics.h> Turbo C++

Question

I have entered the following code in turbo c++.

    #include<graphics.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    int main()
    {
    int gd= DETECT, gm;
    initgraph(&gd,&gm,"D:\\TC\\BGI");
    getch();
    closegraph();
    return 0;
    }

It compiles without any errors and warning. But when I run the program the following errors are displayed

• Linker Error: Undefined symbol_closegraph in module G1.C
• Linker Error: Undefined symbol_initgraph in module G1.C

note : The BGI folder is in the path D:\TC\

How can I solve the problem?

You need to link against graphics.lib, and you should probably consider switching to a more recent compiler – Suprasegmental

Please edit the title and add Turbo C to it. – Depravity

Answer 1

If you are using Turbo C .. just need to check one option:

Go to Options->Linker->Libraries and check the Graphics Library option

hahahaha, love that you remember this, lol. Apparently people still use TC, Borland should be proud :P – Depravity

@Depravity yeah.. stopped using this now but I know I too got trouble using it :D – Worlock

@Digital_Reality:sad no one find this question useful... :( thank you for the answer sir :) – Jetliner

@Worlock sir in output i got the message " Graphics not initialized use ('initgraph') . What should I do ??? – Jetliner

@Jetliner Err.. time changes buddy! :) We have to stick to it.. Anyway when are you moving to new compiler? :D – Worlock

Um.. I am not sure what might be solution.. but check this link daniweb.com/software-development/c/threads/76092/… – Worlock

Answer 2

Go to options>>linker>>libraries and instead of:

initgraph(&gd,&gm,"");

Write:

initgraph(&gd,&gm,"..\\BGI);
