Hi,
I'm moving to Pelles C after reading reviews about it here and elsewhere. I used MinGW previously and when I try compile my code with Pelles my code breaks.
There are a series of errors so lets just start with the first one that occurs when I press "build":
I googled for this but everything I found was either not relevant, didn't help or wasn't clear enough for me to understandPOLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_penter'.
POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).
Did you add all your source files to the project? Are you relying on a library other than the standard library, or using non-standard components available through standard library headers?

Also make sure you've cleaned up all of the output files previously built with the old compiler. This includes object files and libraries as well as executable. Library and object formats can differ in subtle ways between compilers even on the same system. In this case, it could be that Pelles is looking for _penter while it's in a MinGW-compiled library and named penter or __penter or penter<mangled C++ nonsense>.
1) Is this pure C code... no C++? Pelles doesn't know C++, not even a little bit.
2) Pelles C won't compile code unless you create a project... Click File -> New -> Project and follow the wizard. (Note you should probably make a copy of your source code in new folders and add it to your project from there)
3) In Project -> Project Options -> Compiler check "Define Compatibility Names", "Enable Pelles C extensions" and "Enable Microsoft Extensions".
4) Also put your text cursor on the offending keywords and press F1... if Pelles C knows it... it's in the help file.
5) Also note the all non-C-99 functions in Pelles C libraries are prefixed with a single underscore... These are clearly identified in the help file, so you may have to adjust some of your code to suit.
6) When in doubt... Read The Help File!

I don't know where you get off telling people to read the help file and do their own research. Really, how rude.
Warning: Some or all of my posted code may be non-standard and as such should not be used and in no case looked at.
