Linker Error for CreateDXGIFactory Function

[Ashik Unni]

Hi,

I am trying to experiment on the DXGI APIs, and I was creating a console application that enumerates the available Adapters from the Factory Object.

The Code Snippet is as shown below:

// pFactory and vecAdapters are initialized as static variables

// Snippet from a static function
HRESULT result = CreateDXGIFactory(__uuidof(IDXGIFactory), (void**)&pFactory);
if (result == S_OK) {
UINT i = 0;
IDXGIAdapter* pAdapter;
while (pFactory->EnumAdapters(i, &pAdapter) != DXGI_ERROR_NOT_FOUND) {
vecAdapters.push_back(pAdapter);
++i;
}
}


But I am getting a Linker Error as follows:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CreateDXGIFactory@8


The headers that I have used are the following:

#include <Windows.h>
#include <dxgi.h>
#include <dxgi1_2.h>
#include <vector>


Am I missing something?

And thank you so much in advance for helping me out!
