Solution 1:[1]

Maybe you can try this:

go to Options -> Linker -> Libraries

then select the graphics library.

Solution 2:[2]

If you don't want to run DOS you might have some luck investigating WinBGI, perhaps here http://winbgim.codecutter.org, but the project looks like it's gone to seed. Ultimately BGI is an obsolete and unsupported technology.

If you're just having a bit of a play, perhaps the HTML Canvas element would be a plausible alternative. This page has a few demos you can modify on the fly http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_canvas.asp

HTH.

Solution 3:[3]

Run your program under MS-DOS or switch to another graphics library.

(BTW the last time I had something to do with BGI was in the 90s...)

Solution 4:[4]

Well, one thing you can do is try turbo c++ compiler. Borland in new and doesn't support BGI graphics. I had the same problem and it is much better to use turbo c++ (not 4.5 version). Last year I had to use them and Borland didn't support them. I loved Borland compiler.

TIP: if you are not learning BGI graphics for some special reason, I would suggest you to use other graphic libraries in other compilers (like Code::blocks) which support new c++ standards.
