Hi group,
I recently shifted to the Digital Mars C++ compiler
and I do think I like it. But when compiling a
Windows app I couldn't use the PlaySound
function anymore. It seems to be missing in
GDI32.LIB.

Uhhhh... that seems to be an X-File case! :)

PS: Sorry couldn't help it!  ;)))

call this winmm32.def

LIBRARY winmm
EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
EXPORTS
    _WSACleanup@0 = WSACleanup

    _PlaySoundA@12 = PlaySoundA
    _joyReleaseCapture@4 = joyReleaseCapture
    _joySetCapture@16 = joySetCapture
    _joyGetDevCapsA@12 = joyGetDevCapsA
    _joyGetPos@8 = joyGetPos
    _joyGetNumDevs@0 = joyGetNumDevs

run implib  /s winmm32.lib winmm32.def
then add winmm32.lib to the command line.

try it in wxwindows, where it is already added.

My Borland implib has no /s option. Which one do
you mean?

-c     Warnings on case sensitive symbols
-f      Force imports by name
-w     No warnings.

Thank you for the link. The /s option of Digital Mars implib is
equivalent to the -a option of Borland implib. Is there a way to
DIRECTLY link with the appropriate Windows-DLL's? I need
functions like LineTo, MoveTo, TextOut, PlaySound(!) etc.
Which libraries do I need?

Regards,

Its not in GDI32.LIB..

the function is in: user32.lib and the protoype is in windows.h ;)
