I've already included dinput.h
and also defined DIRECTINPUT_VERSION as 0x800

Code:
hr = DirectInput8Create(g_hinst, DIRECTINPUT_VERSION,
   IID_IDirectInput8, (void**)&g_lpDI, NULL);



Errors:
Code:
[BCC32 Error] Unit2.cpp(40): E2268 Call to undefined function 'DirectInput8Create'
[BCC32 Error] Unit2.cpp(41): E2451 Undefined symbol 'IID_IDirectInput8'


Any idea/solutions?

You should probably include dinput.h

Did you define DirectX version before including dinput.h?
Quote:
To create a DirectX 8.x interface with the latest DirectX SDK without using CoCreateInstance:

1. Set "#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800" before the include statement for Dinput8.h.
2. Call DirectInput8Create instead of DirectInputCreateEx.
3. Link to the Dinput8.lib library instead of Dinput.lib.

If you are making a game or something, you'll probably find raw input a much better alternative.

I had erors linking Dinput8.lib though

Edit: I googled the files online and found Dinput8.h and Dinput8.lib.
Will test it out later and post results here.

If you had errors linking, you should check your include and library files paths. And are you still encountering issues regarding this?
