node-gyp Unresolved Sxternal Symbol Error
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to make a native module that uses DirectX for some of it’s functionality, but I get this error when I try to node-gyp build:
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol Direct3DCreate9
I’m including d3d9.h in my c++ file. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues - but if it’s an issue with a specific module, people should report it there.
As @bnoordhuis suggested, since this is a “usage” problem and not a direct bug in
node-gyp, open an issue there and I’ll give you some tips[Reasoning] This is not just a whim, on the one hand we want this issue board to reflect actual “bugs” in
node-gyp, and on the other hand we wantnodejs/helpto be the knowledge base for “how to use” the products in the nodejs org.
