4Suite bcpp build looking for WinMain
Hi, I'm building 4suite on Windows98 using Borland's free compiler v5.5. I converted the Python22.lib to python22_bcpp.lib with coff2omf, and now here's what I'm getting. C:\home\eric\4Suite>python setup.py build --compiler=bcpp developer mode enabled (CVS directory found) running build running build_py running build_ext --SNIP WARNINGS-- Warning W8004 Ft\Server\Server\Drivers\Postgres\escapeandsplit.c 180: 'dict' is assigned a value that is never used in function initEscapeAndSplitcrunning build_scripts build\temp.win32-2.2\scripts\4odb.c: Warning W8004 build\temp.win32-2.2\scripts\4odb.c 16: 'i' is assigned a value that is never used in function main Error: Unresolved external 'WinMain' referenced from C:\BCC55\LIB\C0W32.OBJ error: command 'ilink32.exe' failed with exit status 2 Any ideas what might be wrong? It's like it thinks it's a Windows application, but I tried adding the -TC flag to bcppcompiler.py in the self.compile_options, no dice.

Actually, our scripts are Windows applications. Our build_scripts command uses .link_executable method on the compilier to create them. I'd suggest looking there to see if the correct options are used for building an application use Borland's tools. I don't think too many people use that feature of the compiliers so it could be wrong. -- Jeremy Kloth Fourthought, Inc. http://fourthought.com, http://4suite.org

Hmm, still haven't figured it out. Here's the code you're refering to. # Now compile and link it objects = self.compiler.compile([source], output_dir=self.build_temp, debug=self.debug, ) self.compiler.link_executable(objects, progname, output_dir=self.build_dir, debug=self.debug, ) I tried adding the -W flag for a windows target as both a extra_prearg and extra_postarg in compiler.compile (). Didn't help. Here's the link_executable syntax: link_executable(self, objects, output_progname, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None) from distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler Any ideas? Thanks, Eric
