Hi group,
I recently shifted to the Digital Mars C++ compiler
and I do think I like it. But when compiling a
Windows app I couldn't use the PlaySound
function anymore. It seems to be missing in
GDI32.LIB.

Uhhhh... that seems to be an X-File case! :)

PS: Sorry couldn't help it!  ;)))

call this winmm32.def

LIBRARY winmm
EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
EXPORTS
     _WSACleanup 0 = WSACleanup

     _PlaySoundA 12 = PlaySoundA
     _joyReleaseCapture 4 = joyReleaseCapture
     _joySetCapture 16 = joySetCapture
     _joyGetDevCapsA 12 = joyGetDevCapsA
     _joyGetPos 8 = joyGetPos
     _joyGetNumDevs 0 = joyGetNumDevs

run implib  /s winmm32.lib winmm32.def
then add winmm32.lib to the command line.

try it in wxwindows, where it is already added.

My Borland implib has no /s option. Which one do
you mean?

-a     Add '_' alias for cdecl functions for compatibility with Microsoft
libraries
-c     Warnings on case sensitive symbols
-f      Force imports by name
-w     No warnings.

Thank you for the link. The /s option of Digital Mars implib is
equivalent to the -a option of Borland implib. Is there a way to
DIRECTLY link with the appropriate Windows-DLL's? I need
functions like LineTo, MoveTo, TextOut, PlaySound(!) etc.
Which libraries do I need?

Regards,

Its not in GDI32.LIB..

the function is in: user32.lib and the protoype is in windows.h
;)
