#109 #100 CGUI 2.1 does not build on Windows
I am looking forward to using the CGUI library.
However I receive this error message when building it:
c:/users/joe/documents/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/9.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bi
n/ld.exe: cgui21.exp:fake:(.edata+0x1f0): undefined reference to `InsertIntoWinC
lip'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
C:\Users\Joe\Documents\MinGW\bin\dllwrap.exe: C:\Users\Joe\Documents\MinGW\bin\g
cc exited with status 1
make: *** [lib/mingw32/cgui21.dll] Error 1
(Note: this problem is similar to closed ticket #100.)
Thank you for your assistance.
Thank you for the bug report.
I have downloaded the 2.1 packages (both zip and tar) and made a global
text search through the entire source code, and get no matches for the text
"InsertIntoWinClip" and get no matches. However, I looked into the revision
history on sourceforge and found that there exists a reference to
InsertIntoWinClip in the file obedbox.c in the src directory. Can you check
if this is the case also in your code? If so, I guess that you have got an
older version ov CGUI, not 2.1.

Hello Christer,Thank you for the quick response!There was no reference in obedbox.c for 'InsertIntoWinClip'.I searched other files in CGUI directories and found one reference.It is in line 12 of 'clipwin.h':CGUI_FUNC(int, InsertIntoWinClip, (char *p));Best regards,Joe

Hi
OK, you can remove that line, but that will not solve the problem. There is
a text file cgui/lib/mingw32/cgui.def. Line 114 should look like this:
InsertIntoWinClip @112
Remove that line.
There is another text file cgui/misc/dllsyms.lst which has a line 112 that
looks like:
InsertIntoWinClip
Remove the text from that line but keep the empty line.
In the best case this will solve the problem, but I doubt it will.
It might seem strange that I haven't discovered these problems myself, but
I am working on Linux only - I haven't even access to a Windows computer.

Hello Christer,I made the edit to cgui.def and dllsyms.lst that you suggested and it eliminated the undefined reference error for 'InsertIntoWinClip'. During compilation, there was one other error resulting in failure regarding conflicting type for 'strerror_r'. I edited filedial.c and filebuff.c to eliminate the error then cleaned and re-compiled.The compiler produced these files:libcgui.acgui21.dllThere were many warnings reported by the compiler but I did not try to correct those. I just allowed it complete compilation. In the 'examples' directory I tried to run some of the demonstration files. The first example 00hello.exe does not run, however 01hellox.exe does run. When an example program is started the window flashes for about 15 seconds as though trying to set video mode. Other examples with controls inside such as 10lists.exe and 22drag.exe function properly, however with long load time. Most of the examples will run (after long load). I liked the appearance and function of those examples.The extended load time is real a concern so I cannot use my compiled library files. If you have pre-built versions of libcgui.a and cgui21.dll please send them to me, I would like to try those for comparison. My last resort is go through the many compiler warnings and correct each of them individually. Best regards,Joe Reilly

Hello Joseph. That was good news. Well done!
What kind of warnings were there? gcc version 4.8.4 gives no warnings on
Linux. You can see the version number by command "gcc --version".
Strange with the startup delay. A difference to the Linux system is the
handling of dynamic libraries. Have you tried the static linked version?
One can do that by running "make clean" and then "make STATICLINK=1".
Alternatively you could test to change to a different initialization
function in one of the examples, e.g. InitCguiWindowedMode(); and run
make again.
Have you used the pre-built Allegro lib or did you build it? If you have
built it you could try to start one of allegro's examples to see if the
startup problem is there.
As I mentioned before I am entirely on Linux so there are no pre-built
libraries for Windows. There is no other person than me active on CGUI for
the moment.
For some reason I needed to use strerror_r and apparently discovered that
it is a POSIX function, not standard C, so I made a replacement
implementation in case compiling on a non-UNIX system to make it get
through the compilation. It seems that mingw has adopted the POSIX standard
since then, therefore it conflicts with the implementation that I
carelessly had defined with int as type for the third parameter instead of
size_t.
Best regards
Christer

Hello Christer,
I trust that your day is going well!
I tried 'make STATICLINK=1' however it hit the error 'no such file or directory', which I don'tunderstand since environment variables MINGDIR, ALLEGRO, and paths are set properly.
The Allegro library has worked with other graphics programs without extended delay or any otherproblem when loading. If I had more time available, I would research it further. CGUI dialogslook great and I like how the controls function. However I cannot put any more time into it.Maybe in the future I can re-visit CGUI and get it to run better on my operating system. Thanksfor your assistance and prompt response to this ticket.
Best regards,
Joe
