Hi,
I'm trying to compile a project (not made by me) that has the following includes :
<fstream>
<iostream>
<stack>
<cstring>
<windows.h>
<sys/param.h>
I find it difficult to know which of those includes will be properly linked with the MinGW32 libs embedded in Code::blocks. For example, the function "UuidCreate", which is purely a Microsoft function, is probbaly in one of the many MinGW32 libs, but how tdo I find out which one it is? Doesn't Code::Blocks include by default all MinGW32 libs in its search path?

No, Code::Blocks includes nothing by default; the CB Wizards do add some libraries if used to start a project.
Please turn on Full Compiler Logging to see what Code::Blocks passes to Compiler.

My issue that I couldn't find in what MinGW32 lib the function was.
By trial and error, I eventually found out that function was in the library "rpcrt4" (file "librpcrt4.a").
So my issue is solved, but I'd be interested in knowing how one can find in libraries a function is defined depending on the compiler.

You can use:
1. The libfinder plugin
2. the hardcore nm + grep
3. if the lib is a dll you can use the dependency walker executable
-
Use the symbol table plugin as a wrapper for nm and stuff.
This should fit your needs.
Btw: This question is hardly related to Code::Blocks.
