You're getting compile, or link errors? If compile errors, then look for
#ifdef's in the appropriate header(s). You may be compiling using project
settings or #define's that are not appropriate for a "console" app like
those functions would require. If link errors, then you need to link
against the appropriate library, not just include the header(s). Look for
an example program using those functions. A Google search might help. Or
ask in a newsgroup that knows more about the operating system and compiler
you're using, instead of this language-specific group.
