how to write programs in pelles c??

how to write programs in pelles c??
i wrote it:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
        printf("hye");
 
}

---

but it is showing error during execution:
Building a.exe.
POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_WinMain@16'.
POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).
*** Error code: 1 ***

Ok... you need to read the help file...

Open POIDE... click help -> contents -> Contents tab -> Integrated Environment -> POIDE

And start reading.

One of Pelles C's greatest strengths is that is probably the best documented programming setup on the web.

omg! please help i am fed up with error report every time i try to execute it. is getch(); not allowed in pelles c. please write a sample code to show an example. also when working in a project, the compile button seems to be inactive. plz tell the error in this code, i cant find it. also i didnt find any sample code in the help menu.

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(void)
{
        printf("hi hjk");
            getch();
       
}

So don't use it. You probably don't need it in the first place. For example:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf("hi hjk");
    return 0;
}

}

even this is seemingly not working.
getting this error:
Building a.exe.
Invalid command: "L

"
C:\Documents and Settings\Machine\output\a.obj(1): Error in script -- aborting creation process
*** Error code: 1 ***
Done.

what to do?
plz tell.

i think i am doing some fundamental error.

Well, that's strange. This program is actually identical (except for the string) to the one in your first post because the return 0; is optional in main given that Pelles C supports C99, yet you get a different error message.

I suggest that you start afresh with a new project/source file.

hey at last i worked, but i dont know what was my mistake earlier.
one more question : in a project, i made only the .c file. but the compile button isnt working. wat to do?

n lots of thanks to both of u.

Oh for crying out loud.... READ THE HELP FILE....

In the Pelles C helpfile ...
click the CONTENTS tab...
now click "integrated environment..."
now click "POIDE integrated environment..."
now click "Your first project..."


While you're in there read the REST of the POIDE section...

Which are then simply ignored...

Resolving BKC errors

1) RTFS .... Read the effing screen.
2) RTFH .... Read the effing help file.
3) RTFM .... Read the effing manual.

Then if the problem persists...

4) Spend $50.00 per hour having it fixed.

It was really amazing how the rate of stupid calls fell off after that.

(Of course we never did tell them that BKC means "Between Keyboard & Chair")

getch() and kbhit() and probably more are defined with underscores in pelles, check the header file conio.h

_getch() instead of getch(), etc.

You will find that throughout Pelles library. Any non-standard function is preceded by an underscore, and noted as such in the help file.

Hi Lase...
Pelles IDE requires you to set up a project, which sets many parameters in the compile/link chain as a starting point and sets the appropriate include and library paths for your project. As part of this process it also asks the user for the project type, name and a root path. If the user selects a project type that is inappropriate for his work, it's going to screw up royally... If no project is started you won't be able to compile the project because no tool chain has been established...

Here's what the dialog looks like....

For most of the stuff we see here... click Win32 Console Program then type in a name and click OK... it's a lot easier than it looks.

My favourite is PICNIC - Problem in chair, not in computer.
