G'day Craig,

Replying to a message of Craig Reynolds to All:

 CR> Hello All!

 CR> I am unsuccessfully trying to make a simple 'Hello World' style window
 CR> in PM using emx.  So far, all my efforts have been for nought, as I
 CR> cant get emx to compile it.


 CR> #include 

The 'window manager' functions you're trying to use are for text mode
windows, not PM.

 CR> main()
 CR> {
 CR>     int x0,y0,x1,y1,border,battr,wattr;
 CR>     char *wh;

wh needs to be a "wm_handle", not a "char*"

 CR>     x0 = 100;
 CR>     x1 = 500;
 CR>     y0 = 50;
 CR>     y1 = 300;

x0,x1,y0,y1 are going to have to be a lot smaller than that to fit on an 80
x 50 (or whatever) text mode screen.

 CR>     border = 1;
 CR>     battr = 1;
 CR>     wattr = 1;

 CR>     wm_init(1);

 CR>     wh = wm_create (x0, y0, x1,  y1,  border,  battr, wattr);

 CR>     wm_open(wh);

 CR> }

It may be worth your while doing a getchar();wm_close(wh);wm_exit(); as well.

 CR> Well thats the code, the exact errors  emx spits out are:

 CR> hellopm.c: In function `main':
 CR> hellopm.c:19: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
 CR> hellopm.c:21: warning: passing arg 1 of `wm_open' from incompatible
 CR> pointer type .\ccc00110: Undefined symbol _wm_init referenced from
 CR> text segment .\ccc00110: Undefined symbol _wm_create referenced from
 CR> text segment .\ccc00110: Undefined symbol _wm_open referenced from
 CR> text segment

The undefined symbols come from not specifying the 'video' library on the
compile line.

"gcc hellopm.c -lvideo"

 CR> To me, a novice at C programming, this dosent mean very much.
 CR> It took me ten minutes to get a HW window in Windows, so far around 3
 CR> hrs in Warp.

Was that ten minutes with a free compiler?

Take the time to look in \emx\samples for (surprise) wm_hello.c and the
files to make pm1.exe

Cheers,
Greg |;^)
