SCREENLOCK / SCREENUNLOCK

[na_th_an]

I'm using Rich Gieldreich's GIF loader, which I ported to fB and put it in a SUB inside a module. Everything worked great, I downloaded the latest GFXLib update from Angelo's site, it still worked great and flawlessly.

But two minutes ago I thought that it would be cool to add a SCREENLOCK at the beginning and a SCREENUNLOCK at the end, so GIF rendering would be faster and you wouldn't see anything until the rendering ends.

With those two lines added, I get this error when attempting to compile:

Code:

H:\_Programación\Orange for Windows\Disco1>fbc disco1.bas indice.bas presents.bas giffb.bas -s gui

e:\compila\freeBASIC\lib\win32/libfbgfx.a(libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.o)(.text+0x204):libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.c: undefined reference to `StretchDIBits@52'
e:\compila\freeBASIC\lib\win32/libfbgfx.a(libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.o)(.text+0x719):libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.c: undefined reference to `StretchDIBits@52'

What's wrong? The GDI part doesn't sound cool, as I have a fully working DX 9.1c install.

'$include: "win/gdi32.bi"


At the start of your source. The new gfxlib uses standard GDI as a last resort and needs the linked file until freebasic's next official release.

I know that, I am using -l gdi32.lib in my compiling command. As I told you, everything worked great until I added Screenlock. Maybe I need a reboot

I'll post later.

You probably need to include the header itself, not just the reference library.

Code:

H:\_Programación\Orange for Windows\Disco1>fbc disco1.bas indice.bas presents.bas giffb.bas -s gui

e:\compila\freeBASIC\lib\win32/libfbgfx.a(libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.o)(.text+0x204):libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.c: undefined reference to `StretchDIBits@52'
e:\compila\freeBASIC\lib\win32/libfbgfx.a(libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.o)(.text+0x719):libfb_gfx_driver_gdi.c: undefined reference to `StretchDIBits@52'

hmm, linking with gdi32 should be enough, no need to include the header. Anyway, from the commandline you used above I don't see the right option (-l gdi32)

[na_th_an]

Yeah, that was me and too much beer and lambrusco, and forgetting I had two different BATch files, one with "-l gui32" (until the next fB revision comes out) and another one without it...

AW.

Sometimes I can be the most stupid person in this world. Sorry for making you lose your time
