I have found an example where gdi32.lib should be linked in some way, but I don't know how to do this from GCC command line. All the examples I've found suggest to do this somewhere in project properties in MS Visual Studio or Eclipse.
So it looks like the library containing the function is not present or not included. However I did include windows.h and wingdi.h, and according to the page in the link given above, the function is part of wingdi.h.

It also says it requires library Gdi32.lib which I can't find anywhere on my computer. However there is a file called libgdi32.a, which sits in the folder C:\Programfiles\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib. I downloaded the gdi32.lib and added it to the same folder. The error message is unchanged when I recompile.
The header files only provide declarations, For CreateCompatibleDC you need to provide gdi32.lib as part of the link (this is the "Library" portion of the Requirements block on Microsoft documentation pages).

Thanks for your help. The ISO file was indeed corrupted and caused this error. Never having experienced a successful download being corrupted I thought this to be a long shot, especially because the file sizes are identical:
For those who arrive here with the same error-message but a healthy ISO; it occurred to me the gdi32.lib used by Visual Studio is not the one in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Lib" or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib", but rather the one in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86". So I did install.NET 4.0 (after having purged 4.5.X and 4.6.X versions) and the Windows 7 SDK as suggested before finding out that the ISO was broken, but I doubt that they are required. In any case it wont hurt tothoroughly uninstall all VS/WinSDK related products like I did.
1. You need to have Visual C++ 2005 installed. If you do not have it, download it from Microsoft. If you already have Visual Studio installed, you can obviously skip this step (the steps mentioned here apply to Visual Studio 2005 as well)
The libraries in the Linker section are:wxmsw27.lib wxmsw27_gl.lib wxtiff.lib wxjpeg.libwxpng.lib wxzlib.lib wxregex.lib wxexpat.libkernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.libwinspool.lib winmm.lib shell32.lib comctl32.libole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib rpcrt4.libadvapi32.lib wsock32.lib odbc32.lib opengl32.lib
Open the Windows Command Prompt.Make sure the mingw32/bin or mingw64/bin folder from the extracted download is in your PATH and its location doesn't contain any spaces.Go to the directory where your source files are (C:\Temp in the example below).
USER32.DLL implements the Windows USER component that creates and manipulates the standard elements of the Windows user interface, such as the desktop, windows, and menus.It thus enables programs to implement a graphical user interface (GUI) that matches the Windows look and feel. Programs call functions from Windows USER to perform operations such as creating and managing windows, receiving window messages (which are mostly user input such as mouse and keyboard events, but also notifications from the operating system), displaying text in a window, and displaying message boxes.
For Windows it is recommended to download zlib from Extract the contents of this zip archive to a folder of your choice, e.g. C:\dev\zlib-1.2.7 and set an environment variable named ZLIB_W32 containing this path.
Important notes for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 users: The 2003 Platform SDK must be installed before building, you can download it here or order it on CD. Because of flaws in the libraries distributed with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, not installing the Platform SDK will result in crashes when using the CopyFiles command. See this forum topic for more information. Installing the Processor Pack is highly recommended to decrease the size of the installer overhead.
Microsoft created a technology called a 'Symbol Store' which allows Windows debuggersto locate and download compressed symbol files to diagnose problemsand convert function pointers into human readable text.This greatly speeds up the process of diagnosing and fixing bugs.
With the BOINC Runtime Debugger for Windows framework a project can publish theirsymbol files and only have to distribute the application to each of the BOINC clients.When a crash event occurs the runtime framework will download the symbolfile from the symbol store and then proceed to dump as much diagnostic informationas possible to help projects diagnose the failure.
The first one is easy to get: it can be found in the .NET SDK v1.1 (its probably in 2.0 too, but I haven't checked). The folder for that file is:Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\libDon't forget that you must install the Redistributable package before installing the SDK!! The Redistributable .NET is used for running .NET applications, while the SDK provides the things to build .NET programs. Just go to the Microsoft' homepage and follow the links, or use my links (for the 2.0 versions): -759e-473e-bf8f-52154438565a/dotnetfx.exefor the redistributable, and -6f37-4d5a-b9c6-8f07e7d46635/setup.exefor the sdkRemember to use a download manager, since these files are quite big (the sdk has 350MB)
The home page for the Cygwin project is you should find everything you need for Cygwin, including linksfor download and setup, a current list of mirror sites, a User'sGuide, an API Reference, mailing lists and archives.
So, how do you get the most up-to-date version of Cygwin? Easy. Justdownload the Cygwin Setup program by following theinstallation instructions.The Setup program will handle the task of updating the packages on your systemto the latest version.For more information about using Cygwin's Setup program, seeSetting Up Cygwinin the Cygwin User's Guide.
The Cygwin Setup program is designed to be interactive, but there area few different ways to automate it. If you are deploying to multiple systems,the best way is to run through a full installation once, saving the entire downloaded package tree. Then, on target systems, run the Cygwin Setup program as a"Local Install" pointed at your downloaded package tree. You could do thisnon-interactively with the command line options-q -L -l x:\cygwin-local\, where your downloaded package tree is in x:\cygwin-local\ (see the next FAQ foran explanation of those options.)
Yes. The default installation requests administrator rights becausethis allows to set up the Cygwin environment so that all users can starta Cygwin shell out of the box. However, if you don't have administratorrights for your machine, and the admins don't want to install it for you,you can install Cygwin just for yourself by downloading the Cygwin Setupprogram, and then startit from the command line or via the "Run..." dialog from the start menuusing the --no-admin option, for instance:
The Cygwin website provides the Cygwin Setup programusing HTTPS (SSL/TLS).This authenticates that the Cygwin Setup programcame from the Cygwin website(users simply use their web browsers to download the Cygwin Setup program).You can use tools like Qualsys' SSL Server Test, ,to check the HTTPS configuration of Cygwin.The cygwin.com site supports HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS),which forces the browser to keep using HTTPS once the browser has seenit before (this counters many downgrade attacks).
The Cygwin Setup program downloadsthe package list setup.ini from a mirrorand checks its digital signature.The package list is in the filessetup.xz, setup.zst,setup.bz2 (compressed) orsetup.ini (uncompressed) on the selected mirror.The package list includes for every official Cygwin packagethe package name, cryptographic hash, and length (in bytes).The Cygwin Setup program also gets the relevant .sig(signature) file for that package list, and checks that the package listis properly signed with the Cygwin public key embedded in the Setup program.A mirror could corrupt the package list and/or signature, but thiswould be detected by the Cygwin Setup program's signature detection(unless you use the -X option to disable signature checking).The Cygwin Setup program also checks the package listtimestamp/version and reports to the user if the filegoes backwards in time; that process detects downgrade attacks(e.g., where an attacker subverts a mirror to send a signed package listthat is older than the currently-downloaded version).
The packages to be installed(which may be updates) are downloaded and both theirlengths and cryptographic hashes(from the signed setup.xz/.zst/.bz2/.ini file) are checked.Non-matching packages are rejected, countering any attacker'sattempt to subvert the files on a mirror.Cygwin currently uses the cryptographic hash function SHA-512for the setup.ini files.
To best secure your installation and update process, downloadthe Cygwin Setup program, and thencheck its signature (using a signature-checking tool you trust)using the Cygwin public key( ).This was noted on the front page for installing and updating.
Long ago, the default was to install everything, much to theirritation of most users. Now the default is to install only a basiccore of packages. The Cygwin Setup program is designed to make it easy to browsecategories and select what you want to install or omit from thosecategories.There are now more than 10000 Cygwin packages requiring more than 150GBof disk space just to download and hundreds of GB more to install so youare strongly advised not to attempt toinstall everythingat once, unless you have a lot of free disk space, a very high speed networkconnection, and the system will not be required for any other purpose formany hours (or days) until installation completes. 2ff7e9595c
