[Dev-C++] Compiling errors using Borland Graphics Interface

[Paolo S. <snt...@ne...>]

Hi All,

I need use the Borland Graphics Interface (graphics.h) under Dev-
C++ V 4.9.8.0 installed on WinMe.

I get some errors at compile time.

I have downloaded the files to the correct locations

winbgim.h  (download to /Dev-C++/include)  
winbgim.cpp  (download to /Dev-C++/include)  
libbgi.a  (download to /Dev-C++/lib)  

and added -lbgi -lgdi32 in the "Further object files and linker options" 
field.

My test code is:

#include <winbgim.h>

  int main() 
  { 
      initwindow(400,300); //open a 400x300 graphics window
      moveto(0,0);         
      lineto(50,50);       
      while(!kbhit());     //wait for user to press a key
      closegraph();        //close graphics window
      return 0; 
  }




When compiled I get some errors:

Can Anybody help me ??


Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure but I think you should first to initialize the graphical mod=
e
with these sentences, for instance: (at least, in the past, I got to use=20
the
bgi library with success in dev-cpp),


********************************
  int  graphdriver =3D DETECT, graphmode;

   initgraph(&graphdriver, &graphmode, "c:\\dev-cpp\\bgi");
   if (graphresult() < 0)         /* make sure initialized OK */
      return;

// and here your graphical functions and code.

****************************************

and take care to include the correct header files:

#include <winbgim.h>     /* For graphics library functions */
#include <stdlib.h>             /* =BFFor kbhit( )? */
#include <stdio.h>

Try changing the ordering of the linker options.and adding one which is 
something similar to -lmingw32 or so.
