Mingw uses def files for libraries becayse it appends @nn to functions for some weird stack allocation thing.

That explains it quite well. And this is one of the reasons Im starting to hate mingw/gcc in windows :frowning: djgpp seems like it maybe have a better chance… but it’s still gcc based :-\

Also, Juce has some problems with declaring it’s window size properly… so it’s not your bug Modulr… Im not even gonna both trying to fix a VST problem, that’s insane.

[quote=“SigmaDeltaRob”]Sojuman, if you can restart a project and follow the new directions step, by step…

Maybe it’d help if you wrote a reply as you followed each step, confirming that you completed it and what happened.[/quote]

I tried following your instruction on my laptop. It worked flawlessly! :smiley: Got the hello program to run. Ready to rock’n roll! Not sure what’s up with my desktop. The difference is that in the laptop, everything was a fresh install. The desktop was an upgrade installs of both dev-c++ and JUCE.

I’m away from home right now, so I’ll have to play with the desktop version on Tue. night. Thanks much for all your help!

You probably want to consider totally removing JUCE and doing a clean install.

Possibly likewise for devcpp, but first just check there aren’t any silly settings.

Since everyone else is introducing themselves here, I figure I’d better do it too. Some of you will know me from KVR - I’m the chief (well, only) programmer at ndc Plugs.

There seems to be a lot of talk about Dev-Cpp here - am I the only one using MSVC to compile JUCE? From the sounds of it, it’s a lot less hassle than Dev-Cpp :wink:.

NiallM dude. Your not the only non-masichist here.
I also do not enjoy flagelating myself with a spiky shit covered stick.

I think they’ll reach the highest levels of pain exstacy when they want to debug a running plug in a host. I may be wrong.

I’ve never used a debugger in my life… so I don’t know what I’m missing. I fly blind as a bat. unfortunately, I don’t own MSVC… so Dev-C++ it is cos it’s free! unless Jules comes thru with the C++BuilderX stuff (which is again free for non commerical use)… yet is another possibility. :wink:

I know there is that MSVC Express stuff, but isn’t that missing some libs and what not? also is it truely free or some kinda time limited beta thing…??

Kinell! I had to use the Delphi debuggery to figure out your code.
Being able to watch variables as they change to the wrong value is vital to me.

Jules has a VC-Express howto in JUCE 1.4. You just need the PlatformSDK. Apparently.

And a little bird told me that microsoft are planning on bundling VS with windows in the future as a Linux breaker.
