I took this tutorial off of a directx site and well..uhh..it isn't working..
#include <d3d9.h>
// include the Direct3D Library file
#pragma comment (lib, "d3d9.lib")
// global declarations
LPDIRECT3D9 d3d; // the pointer to our Direct3D interface

return;
}

d3ddev->Release(); // close and release the 3D device
d3d->Release(); // close and release Direct3D
return; // closes Direct3D and releases memory
}
void render_base_screen(int r, int g, int b)
{
// clear the window to a deep blue
d3ddev->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(r, g, b), 1.0f, 0);
d3ddev->BeginScene(); // begins the 3D scene
// do 3D rendering on the back buffer here
d3ddev->EndScene(); // ends the 3D scene
d3ddev->Present(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); // displays the created frame
return;
}
the error is..
[Linker error] undefined reference to `Direct3DCreate9@4' ld returned 1 exit status
