Thread: LoadIcon using MingwTDM 64bit

I am not a very experienced c++ programmer.
I am using the MinGWTDM g++ compiler to create a 64bit unicode gui application.


Everything compiles and runs fine if I comment out this line

Code:

wcx.hIcon= LoadIcon( hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDI_APPLICATION));

with that line I get

Code:

error: cast from 'LPWSTR {aka wchar_t*}' to 'WORD {aka short unsigned int}' loses precision [-fpermissive]

I would rather not use -fpermissive


The app compiles fine using cl from the Win7.1SDK.


Thanks for any tips.

Thank you Codeplug. What stumped me was that cl from the Win 7.1 SDK compiled it just fine in a 64bit app
