Add it to your Makefile.nmake and see if it works. 

The thing is you shouldn't have to. If you have the proper compiler environment it should work as is.

what is the version of cl.exe, nmake.exe , link.exe? What are you environment variables set to? Do you have things like the MSDN Platform SDK, DDK?

Charlie,

Thanks,
Can I add it on the makefile.nmake file?
or you see another way to do it

The "MessageBoxA" function  is the ansi version of the win32 function
MessageBox. Which comes from user32.lib.

Try adding that your link command.

I tried to find on wiki for the same Unresolved external

problem and I could found only one question but it was never  replayed so
I think this problem is not very common and may be  particular to my PC
environment in WinXP

I hope this time someone can help
