What does it mean? Is it still working?.

In my application the compiling process will proceed without any errors,
but the linker produces the following errors:

Any idea for me?

It is still working. I'm not sure if the extender files are included in 
the DMC-CD but they can be downloaded from http://www.dosextender.com

You have to add the extender library X32.LIB to the dmc command line or 
to the linker:
  
  dmc -mx Hello.c  X32.LIB

or

  dmc -c -mx Hello.c
  link cx+Hello,Hello,Hello,X32;

Make sure the LIB environment is set correctly or the files cx.obj and 
X32.LIB are located in the standard library directory.

Thank you,

I forgot to put cx.obj and x32.lib into the Linklist.
It works with the following Linklist.:

cx.obj+
File1.OBJ+
File2.OBJ+
x32.lib
