[Dev-C++] "Hello World!" for Win32 Compiling Error

[B. <ama...@uo...>]

Hi Folks,

   Please give me some help about the following error:

    1. I opened the Dev-C++, choose "New Project", choose "Windows
Application", choose "C++ Project" and clicked "OK";
    2. I removed from the project the unitc "Untitled" WinMain function
that Dev-C++ puts automatically;
    3. I inserted the following unit, called "hello.cpp" in my project:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR
szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
     MessageBox (NULL, TEXT ("Hello, World!"), TEXT
("HelloMsg"), 0) ;

     return 0 ;
}
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
    4. The Project Options were automatically checked for "Compile C++
Project" and "Do not create a console";
    5. The Compiler Options, too, was whit the "Compile for Win32"
checked;

BUT....
   The following Linker Error is being presented:
    Line 2, "Syntax Error before 'int'"

What is happening, gentlemen?

Regards
Andr=E9 Barros

Hello André!

I  copied the program that you sent exactly as was in the mail, and it
compiled without any warnings or errors.
The problem is not in the program.

Try the following:
Run  this command from a command-prompt, and see if the error is still
there:
<directory_of_compiler>/bin/g++ hello.cpp -o hello.exe -s -mwindows

Thanks, Mr. Bal=E1zs,

   But... running this, and the same error message appears too, in the DO=
S
window.
   I forgot to tell: I'm running Dev in Win'95, ok?

Well,  strange.  I  think I cannot help you because I have Win98, so I
cannot  try  it  out  on a Win95. If I find some solution, I will tell
you,  but  anyhow,  whenever you find out what was the problem, please
tell me, I'm corious about this.

Check if the header file is okay, try re-installing the compiler or Dev-C++
so into a fresh directory or after uninstalling, so that the header is
replaced. It seems to me that the error is there, probably an unterminated
brace or string or comment or something.
