I''d give the Cygwin version a go, because they''re both based on GCC.

If you''re using the free Borland command line compiler, download the ''Borland C++ Builder 6 Code'' and cut the ''#include <vcl.h>'', ''#pragma hdrstop'' and ''#pragma argsused'' lines.

You may hit a few other problems in later tutorials, but they''re all reasonably easy to fix (just look at the errors the compiler gives you).

Hope this helps

I tried the Borland approach and that worked, thanks both of you

Hrmm.. i thought it worked, turns out it didnt (long story). The Cygwin one gave me about 20 errors but the Borland with those list taken out gave me this:

153 lesson01.cpp

CDS_FULLSCREEN'' undeclared (first use this function)
153 lesson01.cpp
 (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
153 lesson01.cpp
 for each function it appears in.)
337 lesson01.cpp
 ANSI C++ forbids declaration

WinMain'' with no type

Any ideas?

CDS_FULLSCREEN should be defined in winuser.h. I assume it gets included by windows.h. You can get round this problem by just #defining CDS_FULLSCREEN to 0x00000004. The WinMain error is a bit confusing. I guess you must be using a different version of the Borland compiler to me. It may be because the source doesn''t define a return type for the WinMain function. Try changing the declaration to ''int WINAPI WinMain(...)'' and see if that fixes it.

hmm.. sorry for the confusion but im using the Dev C++ compiler not the Borland compiler :-/

Could you post all of the errors? Chances are you can fix some small thing and it''ll magically work.

Try to use the VC code, usually I don''t have much trouble at all using VC code, in DevC++, as long as there is no DX stuff

I would use the Borland C++ files and do the following:

1. declare CDS_FULLSCREEN like Enigma said
2. change WinMain to int Winmain
3. add a return 0 at the end of Winmain

Ok

1)I typed "#define CDS_FULLSCREEN 0x00000004" at the beginning of the code and this seems to have worked, thanks

.

2&3)This is what i have done to this part of code to
}
WINAPI int WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
return 0;
{
it got rid of the other error, but now its telling me there is a "Parse error before ''0''"on the ''return -;'' line This is the only error left other then:
339 lesson01.cpp
confused by earlier errors, bailing out

Thanks for your time

Raduprv

Nov 7, 2002 at 3:32 PM

That''s because it should look like this:


WINAPI int WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
return 0;
}
