Setting up WinAPI

[infinite]

I don't think I've ever successfully linked a library before. I'm using the Code::Blocks IDE and I have installed the Windows SDK. I've tried going to

Settings -> Compiler & Debugger settings -> search directories tab

and adding "...\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include", but when I try and compile a simple source code including <Windows.h> for example, I get a whole heap of errors.

If it's your first program, then it probably is a problem of installation. Look at the documentations about it for your environment.

If you want more help, give us more pieces of information, e.g. error messages.

Oh, no, it's not my first program. I've successfully compiled & linked programs using Code::Blocks before.

sal.h is missing.

You can't use the SDK from Microsoft with MinGW. It uses its own headers and libraries.
