DevC++ / VC6 :: WinMain() Hell?

Electron · Post by **Electron** » Sun Mar 14, 2004 4:24 pm

Dev-cpp iscapable of using Winmain() and compiling Windows gui applications, but it doesn't seem to be nearly as easy as with MSVC++.

to exal your linker error is the same one I get when trying to compile the Techdemo. Interestingly enough, that looks like part of the text in the DEF file with the static library files, so there could be an error there. I'm fairly new to C++. What is a DEF file?

Oh. . . right (*smacks head*) obviously notv ery closely, keless. It would have helped me with what I was trying to do I if I had paid more attention to it too.

By the way, exal, if you're still getting that linker error just add linker commands for libirrlicht.a (also need libz and libjpeg for some stuff)

I solved that a few days ago. Just couldn't find the thread about it so that I could write the fix for it
