TinyCurses with VC++ (Visual Studios 2008)

[PaulBlay]

I have gone back to the first step and noted down exactly how I tried to get TinyCurses to work. (

See the following pages in order:
Creating a SDL project with VC++
Creating a SDL_ttf project with VC++
Creating a TinyCurses project with VC++

All except the last step worked (but note that the SDL_ttf demo code is problematic).

The error messages I get are:

main-tc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl getch(void)" (?getch@@YAHXZ) referenced in function _SDL_main main-tc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl refresh(void)" (?refresh@@YAHXZ) referenced in function _SDL_main main-tc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl printw(char const *,...)" (?printw@@YAHPBDZZ) referenced in function _SDL_main

If you can work out a step I missed / got wrong please let me know.

artanis pointed out that it's because I'm including tinycurses.h from a .cpp file

You need to use

Code: [Select]

extern "C"
{
#include "tinycurses.h"
}to include it.
