The _CG_* unresolved references are for CodeGuard. Something that you are linking with or some source of yours is trying to use CodeGuard. Fix that. > 2.

They are a DOS based attempt to provide some of the graphical abilities that Windows natively supplies. The C++ Builder compiler you are using does not support DOS. It only supports 32 bit Windows. Use the Windows API for doing graphics. .
