Borland c++

SDL Development
1

Hi, I want to compile my sdl programs under Windows with Borland c++ 5.02,
I’ve read the tutorial in the Faqs but my problem is unresolved. My steps are:

  • implib -c sdl.lib sdl.dll

To create the LIB file, sdl.dll is taken by www.libsdl.org(Runtime for Win32)

  • bcc32 -c -tW -DWIN32 examples.c SDL_main.c

To compile obj files, SDL_main.c is taken for the sources

  • ilink32 -aa -Tpe -c examples.obj SDL_main.obj sdl.lib import32.lib c0w32.obj
    cw32.lib

    To link

I obtain “undefinited reference to SDL…” because the linker can’t find
the references to SDL functions. Why?

thanks

Try this

implib -a -c sdl.lib sdl.dll

Have you checked, if sdl.dll exports any functions?
To check it you can use tlib (call “tlib sdl.lib, list” will create a file
named list.lst which contains a list of all functions in sdl.lib)

implib -a -c sdl.lib sdl.dll

I’ve already tried it, but implib doesn’t accept the -a option :frowning:

Are you using this version of borland c++ ?

ftp://ftp.borland.com/pub/bcppbuilder/techpubs/bcb5/b5std.zip

I use it and implib works well.
