IWB3.x Bug Reports / Linking Error

Last post by matty47 - August 31, 2026, 01:52:29 AM

Just getting back to IBW3. I keep getting a linking error

Compiling...
iwbasic0.testiwb.iwb

Linking...
IWBasic Linker v1.11 Copyright © 2011 Ionic Wind Software
Unresolved external _ib_main
Error: D:\IWBDev3\libs\winmain.o - Unresolved extern _ib_main
Error(s) in linking IWB3Test.exe

The source is just the Openwindow program from the help file.
This seems to compile, link and execute OK in IWB2.
Working on up to date Win11 Pro 64.
Anyone know how to fix?
I did reinstall but no change. - Thanks

News and Announcements / Iwbc 4.0 beta is ready for ini...

Last post by Rock Ridge Farm (Larry) - June 22, 2026, 12:11:56 PM

The very first beta release is read for initial testing - I need a couple of people who are willing to commit to testing the windowz and
linux versions. This is a very first beta of iwbc4.0 so you will need
to fill out results forms and return to me. Just remember I am the sole
developer for this project and have put in a lot of time and effort to
get here. I am also not a windoz person so every thing is in an early
state. Send me a PM here on the forum if you are willing to test iwbc.

Trouble Registering? / Aurora Compiler Donation

Last post by finchley - April 28, 2026, 03:57:37 AM

Made a donation for the Aurora compiler over the weekend but haven't received any unlock email.  I probably should wait a few more days but I guess I'm just itching to get started.  The transaction ID for the donation is: 1466-2442-6535-7136.  Thanks in advance...

check this :

🚀 **BREAKING: AI Just Built a C Compiler From Scratch in 2 Weeks** 🚀

🧠 **16 AI Agents + 1 Researcher = 100K Lines of Code**
⚙️ Compiles the Linux Kernel
💰 $20k Development Cost
⏱️ 2 Weeks Timeline

🔥 **To Put This in Perspective:**
GCC took thousands of engineers over 37 years to build (1987-2024)
👨�💻 That's like building a car with a single person and their team...

🎯 **The Results Are Mind-Bending:**
✅ Passes 99% of GCC's own torture test suite
✅ Compiles FFmpeg, Redis, PostgreSQL, QEMU
🎮 Runs Doom (yes, really!)

🔧 **But Here's the Real Story:**
They "mostly walked away" 🤷�♂️
But that "mostly" was actually doing ALL the heavy lifting 💪

Well ..situation with indie languages is almost the same
everywhere ...interest for them are very very tiny or not exist at all.
One of options is to use AI to gain development.
all best..

IWB+ / Re: Project with two forms

Last post by billhsln - February 10, 2026, 12:17:11 AM

I see main setup and used, but I don't see check1 any where.

I am guessing that the 'main' in the following code should be check1.

Code Select Expand

Init_Check1()

A code sample would help us figure out what your problem is.  Do the forms overlap or do you want one under/side of the other.

I don't check this forum too often, but will check back every couple of days to see if you have uploaded a sample or the code you are working on depending on if it is company private or not.
