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

chris

ad 1.
Which version of the compiler are you using? I guess 8.33 because in the latest beta these problems are solved.

ad 2.
Where did you have this problem? I don't seem to have this problem here.

Can you try to compile and run the samples\image sample? Compiles OK here but crashes when run. I didn't have the time to investigate this further. All/most other samples are compiling and running.

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

I am still stuck on a bug with gethostbyname and other socket code; I did
implib  /s $(WINSOCKLIB) $(WINDIR)\system32\winsock.dll
and got a library

lib -l

shows the functions, but none have underscores prefixed linking still fails;

I think you should use wsock32 instead of winsock.

And take a look at:
http://www.digitalmars.com/~jan/
has a modified implib which helps you to get the decoration right with use of the M$ Platform api headers.

It is very usefull!

I have now built the image sample and run it with no crashes - the wxWindows
CVS server seems down for the holiday but I will commit the changes as soon
as possible
thanks for the help

hi && thanks for the prompt reply; my XP box has winsock.dll, but no winsock32

I tried building a .lib file from the winsock.dll using this, but got a corrupt library (which i could send ):
