Re: [Tinycc-devel] Compiling for Windows 32 Executable

[Kate Stedman]

Thank you for your reply. I'm still having problems and was wondering whether 
you could give any further advice as the hello world example is too simple to 
gain any insight to my problems.

I am building in a command window from a DOS prompt in Windows XP environment. 
I switched on verbose and removed the -r and cannot eradicate the undefined 
symbol errors created when I don't have the -r in the command line. I have 
tried linking in the include files explicitly using the -I directive but with 
the same result. Any ideas ?

EXEs and DLLs in MS Windows are PE files.  ELFs are on other operating systems, 
not MS Windows.  Except...: TCC's object files (*.o) are actually in ELF 
format.  But, when TCC finnalyy creates an EXE or DLL, it's in PE format.  TCC 
just uses ELF format as a temporary code storage format, for object files only.

If that's a regular mS WINDOWs command line, the (*) askterisk wont expand, I 
think.

If that's an MSYS command line, the command should work mostly.  I spot a 
mistake, though.  The -r switch makes the output be a object file, not EXE or 
DLL (hence making an ELF file).  Look at the documentation for the -r switch.  
I'd take the -r switch out, then you're fine.
