Thread: help me : compiler is giving strange errors

Hello
i am using borlan c++ 5.02 on my laptop when i try to compile my following code

// Acutall code

Code:

#include <C_CkMailMan.h>
#include <C_CkEmail.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
    {
    HCkMailMan mailman;
    BOOL success;
    HCkEmail email;
    const char * contentType;

    //  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    mailman = CkMailMan_Create();

    //  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.

    success = CkMailMan_UnlockComponent(mailman,"30-day trial");
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("Component unlock failed\n");
        return;
    }

    //  Set the SMTP server.
    CkMailMan_putSmtpHost(mailman,"smtp.chilkatsoft.com");

    //  You may need a login/password.  In many cases,
    //  authentication is not required when sending local email
    //  (i.e. to email addresses having the same domain as the
    //  SMTP server), but is required when sending to non-local
    //  recipients.
    CkMailMan_putSmtpUsername(mailman,"myLogin");
    CkMailMan_putSmtpPassword(mailman,"myPassword");

    //  Create a new email object
    email = CkEmail_Create();

    CkEmail_putSubject(email,"This is a test");
    CkEmail_putBody(email,"This is a test");
    CkEmail_putFrom(email,"Chilkat Support <[email protected]>");
    CkEmail_AddTo(email,"Somebody1","[email protected]");
    CkEmail_AddTo(email,"Somebody2","[email protected]");

    //  Add any number of attachments:

    //  The AddFileAttachment method can be called any number of times
    //  to add 1 or more attachments to an email.  It returns the
    //  content type of the attachment added.  This is for informational
    //  purposes only.  For example, if a .jpg file is attached,
    //  the return string will be "image/jpeg".
    //  If AddFileAttachment fails (perhaps by a file-not-found error),
    //  a NULL reference is returned:
    contentType = CkEmail_addFileAttachment(email,"c:/temp/something.doc");
    if (contentType == 0 ) {
        printf("%s\n",CkEmail_lastErrorText(email));
        return;
    }

    success = CkMailMan_SendEmail(mailman,email);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkMailMan_lastErrorText(mailman));
    }
    else {
        printf("Mail Sent!\n");
    }


    CkMailMan_Dispose(mailman);
    CkEmail_Dispose(email);

    }

it gives me followig error. i got this expample code from [url=http://www.example-code.com]

unresolver external '_main' referenced from C:\BC5\LIB\COX32.OBJ

but when i change this to void main() it gives following 16 errors. please help me

Don't you want to ask this in the C++ forum?

Anyway have you got the library files for these two header files?
#include <C_CkMailMan.h>
#include <C_CkEmail.h>

It seems like the there mainly function which cannot be referenced by the compiler.

ssharish

the code is taken from c section not c++. it uses stdio.h not iostream.h and printf instead of cout. anyway yes i have all files but some the functions are not working and compiler is giving error

i think the error is a little bit like type casting error. what do you think?

it send mail using smtp server and uses user name and password for the authentication

can you name one because i use borland or dev. i dont hav c compiler.

You need to link in the Chilkat library you're trying to use. How do you do that? I don't know...I don't use ancient compilers/IDEs.

I suggest verifying the Library is compatible to your compiler.
I suggest using a compiler that was made in this century.

Edit: Added link to the C example code C Email Recipients - AddTo, AddCC, AddBcc, AddMultipleTo, AddMultipleCC, AddMultipleBcc

Note: You NEED to learn what a file extension is; using the file extension .cpp made everyone think you are writing c++ code. This is because most modern IDE only compile .c extension files as C programs.

The compiler is not compatible with chilkat library, now it is giving the error of uuid.lib that it is missing. Actually yesterday i was very busy in analyzing different codes on different compilers thats why i made too much mistakes in posts. I am not a new programmer i already know the differene between c and c++, i used to work in c and c++ and mostly in C++ envoirnment. Anyone who knows a little bit about c or c++ can easily tell that its a c program there is no confusion the code is very easy to understand. i also tried code::block but that was not compatible either so i gave up about working on that sample because each header file and the sample code contains a code that makes it trail that it can work up to 30 days that means i have to reprogram each and everything. i hav not got enough time to reprogram every thing. I am also using visual studio 2010 but i dont like it much . i like the old compilers . Thank you so much for your response and the link but now i am not going to use chilkat library because of its limitation.
