Hi, I am trying to assemble source code that uses various libraries of the Windows API. However I keep getting an error message from my Assembler, Turbo Assembler 5. The message says:

Unresolved external'_ some procedure' referenced from module "directory of current project"

Anybody know what Unresolved external mean?

It means that whatever your compiling depends on something external. Confused? Imagine that your using someone else's code and they've written in a function to a DLL. If you don't link that DLL and call it EXACTLY as they wrote it your going to get an unresolved external problem. What I would suggest is that you review ALL of your functions/variables and look to see that your not linking against something you don't have.

BTW, if anyone has compiled a piece of software on Linux w/o the appropriate library installed(JPEG comes to mind with most graphics apps) you will get the unresolved external error, or some derivation.
