But your application will be dependent on the Cygwin DLLs, which can be a
nuisance. I always prefer native code over emulation, especially when the
emulation requires 3rd party libraries.

	Hi all, 


	I managed to compile a simple program that should just wait for an
icoming connection on a inet type socket. I did it under Mac OS X and Linux,
and I want to do the same thing with dev-cpp. 


	Due to explanation give on this mailing list (thanks for your quick
and usefull answers), I change the code to use winsock.h instead of
sys/socket.h. I added the necessary library and DLLs. The program starts
correctly and get it the function to create the socket file descriptor (it
is very simple) : 


	int sockfd; 


	sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); 


	BUT the result of socket function is always -1 (sockfd = -1). What
could be the cause of that ? I found a similar example of socket creation
for windows, I did exactly the same as in the example. The only thing I have
found in "socket" man page is : 


	"A -1 is returned if an error occurs" 


	But how can an error happen at this step ? 


	Thank you for any advice. 


	Best regards.

Where did you inform DevC++ that you wanted to link your application with
the mysql library? From the compiler output, you can see where the linker
looks for libraries (-L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib"). However, that is not enough. You
also have to tell it which extra libraries you need, such as -lmySQL.

Did you try c:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\MySQLClientTest?

There are no Dev C++ Implemented Basic Library, since Dev C++ isn't a
compiler but an IDE.

Check out MinGW (the used compiler), gcc (which MinGW is based on) or
Microsoft MSDN - since you are programming on the Windows platform.

The main() is hidden inside windows libraries. Your application will start
with WinMain() - or DllMain() in case of a DLL.

Dear fellows,

I runned the API examples WinTest and WinMenu that come with Dev C++ (folder
Dev-Cpp\Examples\) with absolute sucess. I could notice that there is no
main() start function in these programs. I would like to understand how can
a C/C++ program have no main(), or start point or where is it in these
examples.

Thanks for your help

Hi all,

I noticed that the errno value doesn't seem to contain the last error. 
So I used WSAGetLastError() function to retrieve what happened when 
using "socket" function. According to results (WSANOTINITIALISED), it 
seems that I have do initialize something when working with socket 
under windows. This makes, of course, code less portable due to 
specific Windows initialisation... But OK, I did initializsation. The 
problem is that now, the error is "WSAEAFNOSUPPORT". Is there so many 
differences between linux and windows when creating a socket ? Does 
soemone use inet sockets under dev-cpp and have a simple example ?

I am under Win 95 (pretty old, I know...). Perhaps do I ask my 
questions to the wrong list (as my problems are not dev-cpp specific 
problems). If this is the case, can someone propose me a list where 
these questions will better match lists topic ?

Best regards.

 Hello,

 I'm trying to play sound from a C program using DirectSound ( Secondary
Buffer ) and I'm getting an error:
109 dxsound.c structure has no member named `CreateSoundBuffer'

 piece of code is: 

#include <windows.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include <dsound.h>

[...]

 IDirectSound pds; /* DirectSound object */
 IDirectSoundBuffer pdsbuffer; /* sound buffer */

/* initialization of DirectSound, CooperativeLevel etc. */
  /* create wave format description */
 memset( &pcmwf, 0, sizeof( WAVEFORMATEX ) );
/* filling the values */
  /* create sound buffer description */
  memset( &dsbd, 0, sizeof( DSBUFFERDESC ) );
/* filling the values */

 IDirectSound_CreateSoundBuffer( &pdsbuffer, &dsbd, &pdsbuffer, NULL );

does anyone know the solution to this? I can send the entire unit if needed.


Also when I tried to compile I was getting duplicate definition errors between
dsound.h and mmsystem.h.

The changes I had to make were:
in mmsystem.h
line 1008:
change
#ifndef _WAVEFORMATEX_
#define _WAVEFORMATEX_
to:
#ifndef _WAVEFORMATEX_
#define _WAVEFORMATEX_
#define _LPCWAVEFORMATEX_DEFINED

in dsound.h
line 1899:
change:
typedef struct IDirectSoundFullDuplex *LPDIRECTSOUNDFULLDUPLEX;
to:
//typedef struct IDirectSoundFullDuplex *LPDIRECTSOUNDFULLDUPLEX;

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Marek

Controls are windows, but they look different (you can get a handle to a 
control like you can to a window).

I'll keep an eye out for any tutorials, you might want to try a google or 
yahoo group for windows. msdn.com may help you too.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Linker problem

Hi all,

I just redo my program to use winsock.h instead of <sys/sock.h>. Now, the
header is found, and there is no compilation problem. But the linker can't
find the functions I use (like "socket", "htons", "bind", etc.). This means,
I suppose, that at least one library is not found by the linker (message :
"Undifined reference to socket@12"). What should I do so that the linker can
find the necessary functions ?

Thank you for any help.

"Effective STL" is a book in the Professional Computing Series, by Addison
Wesley. I don't have the book myself, but I do own several other similar
books (some in the same series)... (Effective C++, More Effective C++,
Exceptional C++, More Exceptional C++, C++ Gotchas)... these books address
specific issues on an item by item basis. I still have to buy Effective STL,
so I can't really help you with the contents of Item 5, but I'm sure someone
else here owns the book and can tell you what Item 5 is about :)

I thought I was doing well, traversing through theForger's Win32 API =

classes, etc. I'm pretty good with programming in a UNIX environment, =
but this windows stuff is very new, and very exciting.

Also, which is the best book to buy when I raise the finances?

Rob

1. The reason I wrote 'getimage(x-3,y-2,...)' is when I wrote 'getimage(x,
y,...)' it did'nt cover the complete text because the characters sometimes
goes over the actual starting point a little.
2. As for the char[70] parameter, I did that because in my program (which I
was using it for)  I used char[70] right through it!
I did'nt need to put anything else in it! But I've changed it now!
3. (How do you check if LOOP (num) characters fits within your allocated
image buffer?) Good point! How do you?

Hi all,

I just redo my program to use winsock.h instead of <sys/sock.h>. Now, 
the header is found, and there is no compilation problem. But the 
linker can't find the functions I use (like "socket", "htons", 
"bind", etc.). This means, I suppose, that at least one library is 
not found by the linker (message : "Undifined reference to 
socket@12"). What should I do so that the linker can find the 
necessary functions ?

Thank you for any help.

No, I haven't seen the reason for your problem. However, just some
questions:

- You assume that x >= 3, since you do getimage(x-1,...)
- You assume that y >= 2, ...
- As input you take a char[70] parameter but inside, you use num+1
positions - why not just say char get_string[].
- How do you check if LOOP (num) characters fits within your allocated
image buffer?

I think Japanese is easier than european languages because unlike say
French, it does not have millions of verb conjugations, millions of
irregular verbs and noun gender. There is also a very small number of
possible sounds in Japanese. Sentence structure is different, but not
difficult. To learn how to read/write, start with hiragana and katakana
which are the phonetic symbols. Afterwards you can start with kanji.

Watching anime and reading manga in Japanese, which you find
interesting (<- very important), can be helpful.

HI Joeri,

Although I'm a Borland fan, in this special case, I think that DevC++ is right.
This is named to be: "C++'s most vexing feature" (or some variation of it), by Scott
Meyers. If you need the complete discusion, look Item 5 in Effective STL (ESTL).
I haven't got the book now, and am in a hurry. But if you need the bibliography do an
amazon search.

In short, change the line you've mentioned to the following:

outport((PORT+TXDOFFSET),(TXDHIGH));

Regards,
--Hossein

I've created a program in Dev-C++ and have no problem runing it! But =
when i try to run it from the .EXE file it seems to behave differently. =
The problem is I've created a function similar to 'cin.getline()'  but =
for 'BGI' graphics, the function works fine when i run it in Dev-C++.=20

[code]

void bgi_getline(int x, int y, char get_string[70], int num)
{
for(int LOOP2=3D0; LOOP2<70; LOOP2++)
{
 get_string[LOOP2]=3D0;

When i run this in Dev-C++ it works fine but when i run the program from =
the .EXE file it has a problem with the delete feature in 'void =
bgi_getline(int, int, char, int)'  As you can see in the code it gets =
the image of the background first with 'getimage()' then puts it back =
with 'putimage()' so you can see the new string. In the .EXE file it =
deletes but you can still see the old string there! For some weird =
reason it is not using the 'getimage()' and 'putimage()' functions =
properly!
If anyone can help me in any way that would be great! Thank You!
