Unresolved external symbol

[Ga via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I have the following code:

import std.stdio;

version(Windows)
{
extern(Windows)
{
nothrow
{
alias void *HANDLE;
alias HANDLE HDC;
int GetDeviceCaps(HDC, int);
}
}
}

int main()
{
int left = GetDeviceCaps(null, 8);

readln();

return 0;
}

And I am getting a "error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
GetDeviceCaps referenced in function _Dmain"


Why is that? I'm obviously missing something here, because 
another function, GetDC works properly..

have you linked gdi32.lib?


Thanks a lot, I wasn't sure what to link with, I must've 
overlooked it on msdn. Thanks once more
