Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

When compiling with MingWing in Command Prompt, I get an error. I've set everything up for the patch as Botman said in SDK 2.2 patch. But when I compile the dll, this error comes up (I only wrote the last 3 lines).

.cpp: undefined reference to ' vtable for __cxxabv1::__class_type_info '
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1
make: *** [mm.dll] Error 1

I haven't modified any of the source code and note that mm.dll is the name of my dll file. But my mod and dlls folder are both empty even after I try to compile. I'm using SDK version 2.3. I'm probably not supposed to use SDK 2.2 patch, but there's no SDK 2.3 patch. The MingWing I'm using came with Dev C++ and I'm using Windows XP Professional. This error comes up when I try to compile any dll file. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :(

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

change "gcc" to "g++" in makefile. gcc is C compiler and g++ is C++ compiler.

also I advise you using this version of MinGW instead of that one comes with Dev-C++:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/m...1.exe?download

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

The error still comes up if I change gcc to g++. I've downloaded MinGWing from that site and installed. I've also created a batch file and changed the directory as botman said, but now command prompt says it does not know what the "make" command means, even after I've loaded the batch file. Here's the contents of the batch file and makefile:

Thanks for the tips! And you did mean to change the gcc to g++ in the CC section at the beginning, right?

"And you did mean to change the gcc to g++ in the CC section at the beginning, right?"

No. I mean that use g++ to compile .cpp files, and use gcc to compile C files.
my makefile for HLSDK is like this:
also if you can't use "make" command, use "mingw32-make" instead.

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

The error still comes up. If I use your makefile this error comes up:

makefile:52: *** missing separator. Stop.

Thanks for the help you've given me so far! Can you tell me, in your own words, how to set up the SDK Code for MinGWing? I might have done something wrong.

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

You need to put backslashes "\" at the end of lines that are broken in several sub-parts. The forum code eats them (it's a vBulletin bug, nobody can really do anything about it)

BTW it's "MinGW", not MingWing. It stands for Minimal GNU for Windows.

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

Can you send your makefile to me, instead? My email is adhikaria4@yahoo.com.au.

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

Whistler? And I can't understand where to put the backslashes.

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

put the backslashes after each .o file

well it isn't "Minimal", but "Minimalist GNU for Windows" :)

Re: Compiling dlls with MingWing
 

Thanks! Sorry, but the error still comes up and I'm having a hard time working out where the backslashes are supposed to be. Could you attach it to an email and send it to me, so that I can try and make the dll properly, whistler?
