Oops, I correct the above: Anyway, adding -mwindows or -luser32 to the
flags and #include <windows.h> to the code should solve the problem.

Sure you can, because the __stdcall modifier alters the linkage name of
the symbol.

IIRC the undefined symbol was 'IsWindowVisible', which is a symptom of a
different problem. That symbol isn't defined in any Win32 library...
'IsWindowVisible@4' is.

Your doubts are wrong. If you haven't declared the function correctly
this is exactly what you'll get.

Yes, clear. But I have my doubts that one can get an undefined reference
due to a missing declaration. Anyway, adding -mwindows or -luser32
should solve the problem.

Not necessarily. In the absence of a declaration, C will guess "int
IsWindowVisible()", which in this case is wrong.
BTW you can catch such problems by compiling with -Wall:

Hm, in this case you should have problems at compile time, not at
link time, shouldn't you ?

True... although with -mwindows you lose the text console, which is not
always what you want (I always print debug messages to stderr... but
hey, I'm a Unix guy at heart).

You may be missing a declaration for IsWindowVisible. Does the source
file have #include <windows.h> anywhere?
(Win32 API functions must be declared with __stdcall, that's where the
@4 comes from).

Sounds strange. How do you invoke gcc for compiling and linking ?

Yes, I worked that out by self. But I still get undefined
reference to 'IsWindowVisible' ?
I even tried to remake the import library file (libuser32.a) from
the user32.def file and the user32.dll. Yes, user32.def does
include IsWindowVisible@4 in line 345, but it still doesn't link.

According to MS's online docu, it's -luser32.

Hi!
I got a program thet uses IsWindowVisible. I think this is a
standard Win API function. But what to link it with? -lgdi32 fails.
undefined reference to 'IsWindowVisible'
