I have compiled the wxWindows library and a minimal sample and comitted the
necessary changes to the wxWindows CVS. Compilation seems quick and produced few
errors which i have worked round:

1) providing functions with const and nonconst paprameters gave a problem

2) extern declarations seemed to require to be extern "C"

Any comments on these appreciated

Can you try to compile and run the samples\image sample? Compiles OK

further. All/most other samples are compiling and running.

B.T.W. I used the wxWindows 2.4.0.

The library (.lib) works just fine. There is something with one byte (in the .lib) that's different for which ever reason LIB can not deal with the .lib. I know the problem exists. I however do not have the time to look into it at this moment. Jan

Maybe you can achive the same with scppn.exe and same commandline

I'd like to draw your attention to several places where I have had to apply extern "C" to functions. You can find them in the wxWindows/src/msw directory in several cpp files. These compile fine, but don't link with DMC; but compile and link with other compilers. I had to fix several of them for the minimal sample to compile. Note that the CVS will require you to set wxUSE_DRAG_AND_DROP to 0 as I still have a linker problem with the winsock library chris

Hmm. DMC's extern "C" behavior matches MSVC's. In general, to link with C functions in C++, you need to use extern "C".

Are you aware of the fact dmc still defines __SC__ as well? Because 
glancig over the current wxWindows cvs checkout, I saw you leave a lot 
of those intact, where they should have been disabled IMO when compiling 
with DMC. Further defs.h should have : HAVE_BOOL and HAVE_EXPLICIT, and 
the private wxString(int) ctor must bij commented out. What commandline 
options do you use to compile?

I can compile and run the 'minimal example' and most/all of the other 
sampels without any problem. The only problem I discovered sofar was 
with the image sample which crashes on JPEG's only.

Again this in 2.4.0. When I some time I will try to compile the cvs 
checkout.
