Very new to this !!

[brendan]

OK, I've dropped back to v1.5, because it does not have all the zlib stuff I now only have 1 error:

EasyCE.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol SHFullScreen referenced in function "void __cdecl taskbar(bool)" (?taskbar@@YAX_N@Z)

-thanks for all the help.....

[brendan]

OK, i've fixed the problem.... basically I stuffed up insted of loading the sample workspace, I opened the sample.cpp, then added it to a blank workspace, overwriting the "demo one", and stuffing everything....

-brendan, sorry for wasting everyones time....

Brendan dude,

Sorry, I was asleep during the night wich happens to coincide with your day. If someone knows of a reliable way to get rid of that unnecessary activity, please let me know.

Anyway, the main problem you where having (the winmain stuff) is caused by the fact that you apparently didn't add EasyCE.cpp to your project. EasyCE (1.5 AND 1.6) contains a winmain, so adding that file should solve that linker problem.

If you are missing SHFullScreen you forgot to add gx.lib to your project.

About zlib: I always add it to my projects; it involves copying a dir (get it from one of my sample projects), and adding a directory under the project settings/C++ tag: Add a header file dir that points to the zlib dir you just copied.

The sample projects have all this stuff set up properly, but I admit that it's quite a task to get it all right from scratch. EasyCE 1.7 will be a lib, to ease this slightly.

- Jacco.

[brendan]

The Lib sounds like a good idea!!! I'm firing now, I've even got mikmod working.....

Another silly question... Have you installed the gx.lib's in their corresponding directories?

I put mine in C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce300\MS Pocket PC\lib\<cpu>\

[brendan]

not in the ce tool dirs, no. But I do have them as /lib_mips/gx.lib etc within the workspace dir. I'm basically building on the easyce1.6 sample, so zlib and gapi lib's etc are allready to go. I've just erased the sample.cpp code, and replaced it with my own etc.... I built the sample mikmod program, and then copied the winmikmodce.lib (I think) library to the lib_mips folder, then added the header file to my code etc.... pheww...

why do you ask ?

i think i had similar problems when putting EasyCE.h in the folder "Header Files" instead of "Source Files"

i put it again in "Source Files" and it links perfectly...

of maybe when gx.lib was not accessed with good path in the link section of the properties. (i copied gx.lib in standard lib folder whose path is naturally referenced)

** try to help **

** hope my english is clean ?? don't forget to let me know if i appear to be a boring froggy newbye :p **

[Digby]

Make sure you're linking with aygshell.lib.

I've read this thread and still cannot get lemmings, or any EasyCE samples to comile!

Is there someplace to download the FULL source code, finished that compiles fully?

Where do I add the WInMain functions?

is there an EasyCE installer? Where do I put the .h .c etx files?

None of this seems to be documented and the samples don't work.

I'm new to eVC coding so really appreciate the help getting started...

Thanks!

[Phantom]

Lemmings should compile out-of-the-box (out of the zip, actually). Are you using Embedded Visual Tools to compile it?

[zeevious@yahoo.com]

Yes,

I am using eVC, a version just downloaded last week.

But it won;t compile, giving me an error similar to the one mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

Can someone tell me where aall the files go, for both EasyCE plus the other source to get it to compile?

None of the EasyCE samples compile for me, even though I am suing a standard installation, (full install) with all the "standard" defauls for the file locations wehen I installes eVC and eVB, and unzipped the samples to their own directory in my documents folder.

I really appreciat ethe help!

Thanks!
