Need hlep with program output...fast!!

**GanglyLamb** · 10-26-2002

i checked it again its indeed a warning but u can compile it heres an example

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <time.h>

 int main()
 {
	int textcolor();

		textcolor(BLUE);
		printf("This should be in blue...\n");

		sleep(1500);
		textcolor(GREEN);
		printf("And this is in GREEN");
		sleep(2000);
	return 0;
	}

the error given is => warning declaration of textcolor does not match previous declaration at (and then the place where conio.h is stored)
to show it works ill put it in a zip file so i dont know what your problem is but ill ad the zip file ...

Give this a try with the turbo compiler, but don't waste your time with lccwin32 unless you like general protection faults.

Code:

// compiled using TC 3

#include <stdio.h>

typedef unsigned char tiny;

void paintBG(tiny);

int main(void)
{
  paintBG('\x1E');
  printf("I'm now a yellow text string on a blue back ground.\n");

   return 0;
}

void paintBG(tiny color)
{
  // never understood why Borland refuses to make use of
  // asm{  inline code } though it lists it as such in its
  // help file.  go figure.
  
  _asm mov ah,0x02
  _asm xor bh,bh
  _asm mov dl,0
  _asm mov dh,0
  _asm int 0x10


  _asm mov ah,0x09
  _asm xor bh,bh
  _asm mov cx,2000
  _asm mov al,' '
  _asm mov bl,color
  _asm int 0x10

  // if I were using my MS dos compiler, this would be so much easier. :P

}

Oh, it seems to me that the post of GanglyLamb should work in Turbo provided that you add

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

#define BLUE 1

int main(void)
{

  textcolor(BLUE);
  return 0;

}

Dunno about lccwin32 though.... I've never had a reason to use it.

**GanglyLamb** · 10-27-2002

i think i know what nukesquad his problem was in lcc win32
this works
[code]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{

**GanglyLamb** · 10-27-2002

damn sry wrong button
so this is what i think he did

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

		int main()
		{
			int textcolor();
			textcolor(BLUE);
			printf("This is in blue");

			return 0;
		}

this way it gives a warning but you can compile
BUt this way u cant compile it what is very logic actually

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
		int textcolor();
		int main()
		{

			textcolor(BLUE);
			printf("This is in blue");

			return 0;
		}

I dunno how that function is defined in conio.h for lccwin32, but the code above expects an int to be returned from the prototype

Code:

int textcolor(); // funct prototype

//really this should be int textcolor(void);

However, you're calling the funct like

Code:

textcolor(BLUE);

int aColor;
aColor = textcolor(); // is what the prototype expects

I'd imagine that you'd want

Code:

void textcolor(COLOR);

where COLOR is defined in conio.h. I'm only guessing there though... like I said, I've not used lccwin32.

**Nukesquad** · 10-30-2002

Well, basically everything works in Turbo C.

Problem arises when I try to run it in lccwin32. Dunno how you did it GanglyLamb...but my lccwin compiler gave me an Error...not a warning. There is no executable file generated at all.

Its always about the same thing. Undefined "_textcolor" (note the underscore) or that the declaration of textfile does not match the original declaration at tcconio.h.

Note that this is the error I'm getting from lccwin32. Why does the lccwin makes a reference to a turbo c header file I have no idea.

I'm starting to think that my conio.h file is corrupted or something. Maybe Ganglylamb would be kind enough to post his copy of the conio.h file here? =)

Thanks all for the effort though...

**GanglyLamb** · 10-30-2002

ill post it right away firtsthing first and thta ll be dinner

**GanglyLamb** · 10-30-2002

:d here it is

**Nukesquad** · 10-30-2002

Thanx ganglylamb....will keep you posted.

btw...I'm assuming that the textbackground functions work the same way?

**Hammer** · 10-30-2002

Make sure you read this.

**GanglyLamb** · 10-31-2002

*textbackground also works with this
* reply to Hammer=>if a header is corrupted and ive got the right header and nukesquad wanted it whats the prob then after all lcc-win32 is shareware and the header is used in lcc so ...

Nothing, as long as it's the same compiler (including version of). It's unusual for headers files to get corrupted, unless someone has had their fingers in them and saved changes by mistake

Personally, I'd probably download the latest version and re-install, that way you can be sure everything is straight.

**GanglyLamb** · 11-01-2002

oke from this day forward i shall NEVER ...never do this thing again without asking version etc coz ur right at some point i guess
