Program Is Not Compiling But It Should!

[SajibFinix]

This following program isn't compiling.......

Code: (c) [Select]

#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowFunc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

char szWinName[] = "MyWin"; //window clss name

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hThisInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInts, LPSTR lpszArgs, int nWinMode){


    HWND hwnd;
    MSG msg;
    WNDCLASSEX wcl;


    /*define window clss*/
    wcl.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); //size of WNDCLASSEX
    wcl.hInstance = hThisInst; //Handle to this instance
    wcl.lpszClassName = szWinName; //window class name
    wcl.lpfnWndProc = WindowFunc; //window function
    wcl.style = 0; //default style
    wcl.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); //icon style
    wcl.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO); //small icon style
    wcl.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); //Cursor style
    wcl.lpszMenuName = NULL; //as no menu
    wcl.cbClsExtra = 0; //as no extra
    wcl.cbWndExtra = 0; //information needed
    wcl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH); //Window Background: White
    if(!RegisterClassEx(&wcl)) return 0;


    /*Now a window class has been registered, a window can be created*/
    hwnd = CreateWindow(
        szWinName, //name of window class as prmtr
        "Window Skeleton", //Title
        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, // Window Style: Normal
        CW_USEDEFAULT, // X coordinate: Let Window Choose
        CW_USEDEFAULT, // Y coordinate: Let Window Choose
        CW_USEDEFAULT, // Width: Let Window Choose
        CW_USEDEFAULT, // Height: Let Window Choose
        HWND_DESKTOP, // No parent window
        NULL, // As No Menu
        hThisInst, // Handle to this Instance of the program
        NULL // No Additional Arguments
    );


    /*Display The Window*/
    ShowWindow(hwnd, nWinMode);
    UpdateWindow(hwnd);


    /*Creat The Message Loop*/
    while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)){
        TranslateMessage(&msg); // Translate Keyboard Message
        DispatchMessage(&msg); // Return Control To Window
    }
    return msg.wParam;
}


/*This Function Called By Window And Is Passed Message from queue*/
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowFunc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){
    switch(message){
        case WM_DESTROY: // Terminate the program
            PostQuitMessage(0);
            break;
        default:
            return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam); //Let window process message
    }
    return 0;
}

Its showing following error on Code::Blocks
Build Log:

But I don't Know What wrong with this GetStockObject!! Its right i think

CodeBlocks Wiki

Q: How do I troubleshoot a compiler problem?A: I would start by turning on full Compiler logging.This is done by selecting the "Full command line" option Under menu "Settings" -> "Compiler" -> Global compiler settings -> [the compiler you use] -> "Other Setting" tab, "Compiler logging". In 12.11 and newer this is enabled by default.This option will make Code::Blocks output the exact commands it uses to compile your code.Things to remember:You should review all the commands and their options;[/q]
[/font][/size]

• If you have compiled your app before, do a re-build (or clean before build) to see all compiling / linking steps;

• If you don't know what an option or a command does please read the documentation for the compiler/linker you're using;

• Look for missing commands;

• For every source file (.cpp; .c; .d; etc) in your project, you must have at least one command in the log. This command must produce an object file (file extension .o if using gcc/g++ and .obj if using Visual Studio);

• Every object file should be linked in the final executable, if not there are undefined symbols errors;

• Remember the file extension matters: *.c is compiled as C file, *.cpp is compiled as C++ file.

Its working!!
But what is Linker Options? @Deque

The options of a linker.
And before you ask what a linker is. This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linker_%28computing%29
