__stdcall error

[kryptkat]

Error: Unresolved external '__stdcall CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(unsigned long, un
signed long)' referenced from C:\BORLAND\BCC55\BIN\PRID.OBJ

getting __stdcall error have tlhelp32.h and linking to tl32.lib but it is the stdcall that is confusing because there is no dll . See no need for extern() because there is nothing to put extern() in.

Getting 3errors all __stdcall

added stdlib.h stdarg.h stddef.h to see if one of those was the missing __stdcall

checked function names and they match with .h files. Also linking to psapi.lib and have psapi.h included. Different prog.

[kryptkat]

it is the example from code prodject.

What platform are you using NT? That function is in the Kernel32.dll but it is not available on WIN_NT kernel32.dll.

[edit] Upon further research NT 5.0 does support the toolhelp functions. Version of NT prior to 5.0 do not.

The error has nothing to do with __stdcall. That's just part of the function signature. Are you sure tl32.lib is the import library for the toolhelp32 API?

[kryptkat]

Are you sure tl32.lib is the import library for the toolhelp32 API?

No.... I did look through the th23.lib and tlhelp32.h and they had the same functions

CreateToolhelp32Snapshot()
Process32Next()
OpenProcess()

I did compile another prog with the same tlhelp32.h and psapi.h header files. Only got a _openprocess() error and not the __stdcall openprocess.... error. Ok do not understand why one prog does not call stdcall and another prog does call stdcall with the same header files....? same functions but compiles diff ? I do not understand why I get __stdcall error when same header files and functions used?

Ok so how to fix?

Also no toolhelp32.lib


ps also playing with tapi.lib now I am phreeking out.

[kryptkat]

So why will one prog compile and the other will not when they both have the same headers?
Both have tlhelp32.h and psapi.h ? There does not seem to be much difference between the two progs. meow. Both do the same thing.

What libs are needed to compile this?

So far -L with psapi.lib and th32.lib tried kernel32.lib still get same three errors.

tried a few others with same result.
