[SOLVED] CImg library when compiling return undefined reference to `__imp

CImg library when compiling return undefined reference to `__imp_SetDIBitsToDevice'

I'm using VSCode on Windows 10 with MinGW compiler installed. I've tried using CImg library to edit images (http://cimg.eu/), and when I'm trying to compile code from tutorial (http://cimg.eu/reference/group__cimg__tutorial.html) I get this error:

C:\Users\Martini\AppData\Local\Temp\ccBswQ5w.o:tutorial.cpp:(.text$_ZN12cimg_library11CImgDisplay5paintEv[_ZN12cimg_library11CImgDisplay5paintEv]+0xba): undefined reference to `__imp_SetDIBitsToDevice'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have CImg.h file located in folder with tutorial.cpp. Here's command I'm using to compile:

g++ tutorial.cpp -o tutorial.exe

It's my first time working with libraries in C++, and CImg looks fairly easy to use, but if you have used other libraries to edit photos, let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

You need to link to GDI32 on Windows I think. Something like:

g++ tutorial.cpp -lgdi32 -o tutorial.exe
