You need to link with libwinmm.a

There are two ways to do this.  My preferred way is to add the following
pragma, just after the "procedure joytest is" line:
   pragma Linker_Options ("-lwinmm");


The other way is to add -largs -lwinmm  to the gnatmake options
in the GNAT Options in Current Directory menu choice in AdaGIDE.
