Very new to this !!

[brendan]

I've just started to use EVC, and easyce1.6, forgive my stupidity, I'm assumming the following code is related to GAPI in some way, any solutions?:

sample.exe - 12 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I killed most of the code to try and workout what's going on, i.e

#include "easyce.h"

void main()
{
}

I now get this:

corelibc.lib(pegwmain.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function _WinMainCRTStartup

any ideas?
-thanks brendan

Look in the Projects : Settings menu and open the Link flap on the right side. You should add gx.lib on the Object/Library modules line. (and maybe Aygshell.lib too).

[brendan]

I've tried the following for W32 (WCE MIPS) release, and for "all configurations"

commctrl.lib coredll.lib lib_mips/gx.lib Aygshell.lib

still no joy!!

brendan you're missing the winmain function, read about it in msdn or check easyce source, it contains a winmain function. Windows programs need to have this function.

[brendan]

I've only just installed fresh eVC, so why would it be missing ? what file should I search my system for to confirm it's there ?

-brendan

[prj]

It's in the EasyCE.cpp/h files. If you havn't erased it previously. Try with a clean set of EasyCE files, add those lib files AND adjust you include directory.

[brendan]

I downloaded the older 1.5 version, setup the linking etc, identical problem....

-Ahhhh!!! programming is so frustrating.....

[MirekCz]

brendan :every program done with evc++ must have a winmain function. it's the function when windows starts executing your program, without it windows wouldn't know where to start. Therefore compilator expects you to have a winmain function in your C source files for every project you create. EasyCE includes one, but I haven't used it personally so I don't know exactly how to use it. You have got a lot to learn I guess, programming is not like a short time fun, it takes years to learn.

[brendan]

I'm well aware of the problems:

www.ozcreations.com.au!!!

up until now I've been using a simpler language pocketC, hoping to inprove my games, so I'm looking at eVC.

yes I understand what your saying, but that should be included in the easyce.h library.... I assume, taken from sample program just below the void main() (written by jacco, I assume)

// At this stage, EasyCE is initialized.
// On the PC, a window has been created.
// On the PocketPC, you now have a full
// screen application.

therefore I assume I don't have to include nothing, as per his other doco stating that:

#include "easyce.h"

void main()
{
}

should compile!

where's jacco when you need him.

[brendan]

Sorry, didn't mean to sound to masty there!, but this is driving me up the wall.... I searched the easyce.h file, and yes it does seem to call all the required windows libs etc. I'm sure it's just a simple problem, as are most bugs....

-brendan, guess I'll have to wait until jacco read this....

[prj]

Probably a silly question, but have you added EasyCE.h and .cpp to your project?

[MirekCz]

like prj asks, did you add it?
well, why don't you actually download example source that uses easyce (phantoms tutorials from www.pocketmatrix.com/phantom ?) and see how he gets it working???

[brendan]

ok in the fileview I have included: EasyCE.cpp EasyCE.h and sample.cpp it now complies with this error:

Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory

so I tried to include this as well but no luck, I then set the /zlib/ folder in the resources section, still no luck ??? how do I tell eVC to check the zlib folder for inclusion....

[brendan]

Ok I changed the include in the easyce.h to /zlib/zlib.h, that works, I then had to add a resource for OpenPTC/source, and now:
