Problem with linker/joystick input

Question

I'm trying to wrap my head around getting user input from a joystick/mouse, which doesn't seem all that complicated, but I've run across this simple showstopper: calling joyGetNumDevs() gives me an unresolved external symbol error. I've included the necessary Windows.h and MMSystem.h, so I don't have any idea what may be causing this problem.

Any help? Thanks.

Have you tried linking in winmm.lib?
