Hello,

I tried to compile hwprint.cpp (Below) as a Windows NT executable and
I got the following errors:

sc hwprint.cpp -mn -C -WA -S -3 -a8 -c -gf -ohwprint.obj 
link /CO /NOI /DE /NOPACKF /XN /NT /ENTRY:WinMainCRTStartup

So I assumed I had to include the comdlg32.lib library. I checked the
"Embed Library Named:" option, added comdlg32.lib and rebuilt all, but
I still get the following errors:

Here's hwprint.cpp:

I think you will need a .DEF file with:

You need to include the .DEF file on the link command line.
Next is seems like for some reason the linker has trouble finding memset.
This might be solved by including the required header files and making
sure the linker can find the libraries.

No, I guess it must be something else, these are the contents of my
.DEF file:

NAME		"hwprint"

DESCRIPTION	'hwprint'

EXETYPE		NT

SUBSYSTEM	WINDOWS

STUB		'WINSTUB.EXE'

CODE		 EXECUTE READ

DATA		 READ WRITE

How? Isn't it included already?

memset is in stdlib.h, but

#include <stdlib.h>

Doesn't solve anything.

What's the correct way to include a lib file in a project? Why doesn't
it compile hwprint.cpp?

I would hate to use an old pirate version of some commercial compiler
instead of DMC. So please help...

I'll try that too, let's see what happens.

Ouch!

Try to install DMC in a directory other than "C:\Program Files" or any other
long file name!
I have heard too many problems with that!
Or... If you want to keep it that way.. Map a drive (subst) to the DMC
directory such as
subst s: c:\PROGTO~1\DM
And than change SC.INI to reflect S:\ instead of C:\PROGTO~1\

That wasn't the problem.

The command line you gave me worked just fine.

So I noticed that when you create a new project, two files appear: 

<filename>.cpp
<filename>.DEF

I first thought I had to add comdlg32.lib in the options dialog ("Code
Generation" -> "Embed Library Named").

But I just had to add the necessary .lib files as another source file,
just as I added hwprint.cpp to the project.

That was all! Ooph... Thanks for your help! :oD
