Sounds in C?

I saw a code in the net yesterday about playing sounds, and I managed to play it too, using a dev-c++ project file. What I'm now trying to do is put it in my game, though I get compiler errors when I compile it because we have a custom header file named mp.h that contains most of the functions that we need in our game. Here's the code I tried.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


using namespace std;

int main()
{ int x = 1;
   while (x == 1)
    PlaySound("gameover.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

    system("PAUSE");    
    return 0;
}

I saw another code in the internet about mmstream.h and I managed to get pass the mp.h compiler error, but it gets a linker error saying "Undefined reference to PlaySoundA@12". Here is the revised code.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mp.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")

int main()
{ int x = 1;
   while (x == 1)
    PlaySound("gameover.wav", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

    system("PAUSE");    
    return 0;
}

Any information helpful would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think dev-C++ understands these pragmas (it's another MS thing)

In the project settings, look for "linker" and "additional libraries".
Add winmm.lib to that list (noting any specific naming conventions of existing libraries)

Is there any way I can do it without making the source code a project? I haven't asked our professor if we can submit our project code in .dev format, but our specifications say that we only submit the .c code. I tried recompiling the .c file from the project but it didn't work.

From the command line, it would be something like
gcc prog.c -lwinmm.lib

But then your prof would need to know to do that.

>>using namespace std;
This is entirely C++ code. You might want to drop it if you are writing C.

Thanks a bunch!

how do I play two wav files at the same time? putting |SND_NOSTOP at the first wav file doesn't work. The only nearest thing I got to was playing the two sounds, but one had to stop to let the other one play, and when it finished, the song restarted. I need to let one be a background music while the other one handles the effects.

RTM?
SND_ASYNC


The sound is played asynchronously and PlaySound returns immediately after beginning the sound. To terminate an asynchronously played waveform sound, call PlaySound with pszSound set to NULL.

Already there, but not working. Also, how do you store the wave file into the application so that I can play the sounds without needing the wave files? I'm using a Dev-C++ compiler.
