Problem with my linker

[REDEBOLT]

I have been coding merrily along, with no problems, and suddenly, this happens:

Code Select Expand

$MAIN
$INCLUDE "clsMAT.inc"
$INCLUDE "waitkey$.inc"
DECLARE IMPORT, GETTICKCOUNT(),UINT


Code Select Expand

Compiling...
Table7-2.eba
clsMAT.eba
gausjord.eba

Error: Unresolved extern __imp_GETTICKCOUNT[/b]
Error(s) in linking Table7_2.exe


Somehow, I get Error: Unresolved extern __imp_GETTICKCOUNT

TIA

I think waitkey$ is a reserved word.

Try replacing:

Code Select Expand


DECLARE IMPORT, GETTICKCOUNT(),UINT


with:

Code Select Expand


DECLARE IMPORT, _GETTICKCOUNT ALIAS GetTickCount(),INT


and when you need to use the function:

Code Select Expand


gtc=_GETTICKCOUNT()

delete your declare statement and
wherever gettickcount() is used in your program change it to MILLISECS() which is the exact same function built into EBasic commands.

I think waitkey$ is a reserved word.

getkey without the $ is a keyword

[LarryMc]

if you use the gettickcount with the alias

Code Select Expand

DECLARE IMPORT, _GETTICKCOUNT ALIAS GetTickCount(),INT
make sure you spell the function name after the alias exactly as it is shown with the same upper/lower case letters.

I changed it just to see to this

Code Select Expand

DECLARE IMPORT, _GETTICKCOUNT ALIAS GETTICKCOUNT(),INT
and get the unresolved error.

if you change your original declare

Code Select Expand

DECLARE IMPORT, GETTICKCOUNT(),UINT
to

Code Select Expand

DECLARE IMPORT, GetTickCount(),UINT
it will work
and when you call the function either way it will work:

Code Select Expand

gtc=GETTICKCOUNT()
gtc=GetTickCount()
still easier to just use MILLISECS()

Thanks to all for your replies.
Larry gave me the clue.
I had done some editing in another editor,
and it had capitalized "GetTickCount".

All is now well.
