Please post the shortest program which exhibits the above problem, the
*exact* command line you used to invoke gcc, and the *exact* text of the
error message(s) you get.  `delay' is in the library, so this message
shouldn't appear.

I was asked to post a short program describing a weird error i'm
getting.
I'm using delay() in a program and it reports "undefined reference to
'delay' "

this is the file:

*****************
This is the command line:

D:\DJGPP\RSXNTDJ\SAMPLE\CONSOLE\THREAD>gxx -Zwin32 -Zmt thread.c

and the error message:

thread.c(.text+0xd6): undefined reference to `delay'

Now, I tried some different stuff:
I looked in the makefile and there is no other lib to link.
I searched all the libs containing the word delay(like libc.a etc)
and tried linking them manually but it didn't work.
What should I do?
