BC++ 3.1 is 16 bit only so is not capable of creating a console
application.


Please tell some things about your program:

Is your program is a DOS program or a 16 bit Windows one?

Is bmdblib.lib a static library, one which contains object files or
an import library, one which contains references to a DLL which
is where the functions and their code are located?
