Yes, sorry :(
I forgot to add the error, which by the way is a linking error, not a 
compiling error.
Here is the error message

-------------- Build: default in Console application ---------------

Linking executable: TheApplication.exe
D:\XWin\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: 
cannot find -lfontconfig
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings

--------------- End of file ----------------------------------------

Thanks folks for all the help

Know this... God will move heavens and earth to do what you cannot do and that He will not for something you can.

Happiness has many doors, and when one of them closes another opens, yet we spent so much time looking at the one that is shut that we don't see the one that just opened..
