undefined reference to `DPGetCtrlStatus'

Is there an import lib (.a or .lib file) for the dll ? If so - what is its name and where is it located ?
With that information, we can fix it so that we link to that library and resolve the undefined reference.

If you have only the dll, then (IIRC) with gcc you should be able to link directly to it using the MYEXTLIB config option: 
use Inline C => Config => MYEXTLIB => 'C:/Program Files/Common Files/P
+roduct/4.1/dptcpiphi.dll'

[download]
(I'm assuming that's the fully qualified path name of the dll.)

If that still doesn't resolve the undefined reference then we'll have to come up with something else.
There are other options such as creating the import library, or loading the dll with LoadLibrary - but see how you go with the above suggestions first.

Cheers,
Rob
