ras.h errors

Trent_Easton · 07-09-2005, 02:25 AM

I am trying to compile the following code:

Code:

#include <ras.h>


bool IsConnected()
{
   LPRASCONN TRasCon;
   RASCONNSTATUS Tstatus;

   DWORD lg;
   DWORD lpcon;
   bool lReturn;

   TRasCon->dwSize = 412;
   lg = 256 * TRasCon->dwSize;
   lReturn = false;

   if( RasEnumConnections(TRasCon, &lg, &lpcon) == 0 )
   {
       Tstatus.dwSize = 160;
       RasGetConnectStatus(TRasCon->hrasconn, &Tstatus);

       lReturn = ( Tstatus.rasconnstate == 0x2000 );
   }

   return( lReturn );
}

And I get the following errors:

Error executing cl.exe.

This make it look like there is a problem with ras.h, I also tried compiling this in LCC W32 and it highlighted things in ras.h, and both MSVC++ and LCC W32 use different ras.h files...
Please help...

Hmm...try including windows.h before ras.h?

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <ras.h>

Trent_Easton · 07-13-2005, 08:30 AM

Now I'm getting the errors:

Quote:

isconnected.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RasGetConnectStatusA@8
isconnected.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RasEnumConnectionsA@12

Sorry for bothering you.

Tell your linker to link to rasapi32.lib

Project->Settings->Link->Object/library modules

valis · 07-13-2005, 01:51 PM

it looks like you are getting cascading errors from as few as one or two errors, make sure you are linking with everything you need to and you don't have a misplaced ; or }

EDIT: sorry, didn't see your first problem was fixed

Trent_Easton · 07-15-2005, 09:52 AM

Thank you very much guys

I'd reccomend trying http://bloodshed.net/, my school used MSVC, and I hated it.

Trent_Easton · 07-15-2005, 10:45 PM

How would I go about writing a prototype for

bool IsConnected()

I've tried

bool IsConnected();

But it gives me errors, I have experiencing making prototypes for bool functions....I've never used boolean functions before...

karlan · 07-15-2005, 10:52 PM

Code:

bool myfunc();


/*Make sure this function is after the prototype*/
bool myfunc(){
/*code*/
}

you may need a

Code:

typedef int short unsigned bool;
