Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 22:27:52 +0100 <midk> actually, i tried bc's sim patch with his devkit and it didn't compile.. <LinusN> it's outdated <midk> no, his newer one on his site <midk> /bin/ld: cannot find -lcomdlg32 <midk> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status <midk> make[1]: *** [/home/guest/rockbox-devel/build/uisw32.exe] Error 1 <LinusN> i think i'll merge some of his changes into CVS ... <LinusN> missing comdlg32 library... <LinusN> i wonder why he needs that <Kaboofa> because HE'S AN EVIL WITCH!!!! Well it seems the word is out. I had not mentioned it yet because I found a bug in it a couple of nights back and I have not had a chance to fix it yet. If you exit the _new_ Win32Sim when the screen is displayed in true-aspect-ratio, the screen is displayed as a teeny weeny window when you start it up next. The solution? Erase the uisw32.cfg file, and re-run -OR- run the sim, press [PgDn] and exit (the cfg file will be updated) The reason? The startup code does not understand zoom=(-N) ...which is the true-aspect-ratio marker. (note: zoom=(+N) works just fine.) Knowing that, anyone wishing to play with this version should read the below reply addressed to MK, and venture forth to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cyborgsystems for the update. All the hype about the big-fat-pile of new features is included in the CS_UIsim.zip file, along with programmers notes, and updated source files. *** MK, Did you put the libcomdlg32.a file from the zip into the right directory? (see programmers notes at the end of the manual) I must also offer a rather embarrased apology that I have used a "*" to denote a comment at the top of the makefile, where I should have used a # Although why it has been compiling on my machine is anybodies guess. In the mean time, either erase my version history addendum, or replace the * with a # Whoops. *** Linus, 8-O ...and... Because I added a feature to select whatever colour you like for your sim ...I call the standard windows colour dialogue box. To pre-emp any generic "why" (from whoever) I must first quote George Mallory: "Because it was there" and as a caveat, add: "I wanted to try my hand at windows programming, cos I've never done it before." *** Kaboofa, LMAO ...Fear not, I have not moved to the Dark Side (Windoze programming) ...Just "dabbled" out of interest ;) BC _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-07-21 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
