when trying to compile a simple example program in visual c 6.0, i get
an error message when starting my program, something like “the file
SDL.DLL is linked with the missing Export-USER32.DLL:TrackMouseEvent”.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
Second report of this. Looks like the Win32 binaries available for download
are only compatible with WinNT/Win98. They need to be compiled with
"_WIN32_WINNT=0x0300" to generate an SDL.dll that will work with Win95.
Argh.
The TrackMouseEvent() function only exists on Win98 and WinNT.
There is a compatible function in COMCTRL32.DLL on Win95 with
Internet Explorer 3.0 or later: _TrackMouseEvent()
I will fix this when I get home tonight, and release a new runtime
binary for testing.

Is there any “real” good way to handle this? I’m so used to compiling open
source stuff that I completely forget about binary releases … argh …

Well, once I verify that this works, I’ll commit the source changes, and
they’ll be available to everybody. No worries.

You aren’t going to fix this by requireing internet explore 3.0 for SDL to
run, are you? The first thing I do when I sit down to a win95/98 box is
uninstall Internet Explorer, install Netscape…

Even when you uninstall Internet Explorer, COMCTRL32.DLL stays on your
system. I could be wrong, so that’s why I am releasing a test DLL so
people can let me know if it works for them.
