USE_GUI=1

Got thru all the htmlhelp and HH_ errors, now
Having compiler link to dll errors


Anyone know why its not linking or know what manual explains this for mingw32
g++ core
Appears the quick start was written only for vc.net
"SO YOU WANT TO COMPILE IT NOW ??? - QUICK START FOR THE IMPATIENT"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following section only matters if you want to work with the editor DLL's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may want to turn on the DEVELOPMENT macro near the top of pvengine.cpp to
modify the search path for DLL's (it's the way we test without having to copy
the DLL's to the POVWIN install dir). You probably won't want to do this if you
don't intend to build the editor DLL's.

dont need to build dlls, just want to link to them.
Copied them anyway to POVWIN install dir and to gcc_gui_debug

no help.


drowning in a sea of non-answers from google


F:/povwin36/windows/pvengine.cpp:2218: undefined reference to `PlaySoundA@12'
gcc_gui_debug/pvengine_pvtext.o: In function `Z14create_toolbarP6HWND__':
F:/povwin36/windows/pvtext.cpp:1581: undefined reference to
`_imp__ImageList_Create@20'


PlaySoundA is found in cmedit32.dll
so it seems to me the compiler has not been informed of the externals.

where would this be corrected? makefile? or another place? (and how exactly)


BUT this one boggles:
the reference is ImageList_Create (cmedit.dll)
NOT
_imp__ImageList_Create

_imp__ImageList_Create <not found
Whats up with that!

greatly appreciated,
OldPerson
