While trying to compile the example code from 'Example C Program: Using CryptProtectData' I ran into a roadblock; The linker cannot find CryptUnprotectData. Here is the console output: Compiler: Default compiler Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\test\Makefile.win" Executing make... make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\test\Makefile.win" all gcc.exe main.o -o "Project1.exe" -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -l crypt32 main.o(.text+0xcb):main.c: undefined reference to `CryptProtectData' main.o(.text+0x121):main.c: undefined reference to `CryptUnprotectData' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make.exe: *** [Project1.exe] Error 1 Execution terminated
