Alpha-4 static MSVC2017 doesn't work with `cl`

[hanyuone]

I'm using the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017, and I'm trying to convert a .o file generated via Crystal code (code here, the .o file generated using these instructions).

I have the libui.lib from the release file for 64-bit VS 2017, and I've copied it into C:\Crystal, along with other lib files required for Crystal (gc.lib, pcre.lib) and control_gallery.o. However, once I run the cl command, it doesn't work and raises LNK2001 and LNK2019 errors.

Here is my folder structure:

Here is the full error log:

When statically linking, you'll need to include the list of libraries libui links against, which is, for alpha 4:

user32 kernel32 gdi32 comctl32 uxtheme msimg32 comdlg32 d2d1 dwrite ole32 oleaut32 oleacc uuid windowscodecs

So you'll need to add this to the linker flags:

user32.lib kernel32.lib gdi32.lib comctl32.lib uxtheme.lib msimg32.lib comdlg32.lib d2d1.lib dwrite.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib oleacc.lib uuid.lib windowscodecs.lib

If you're using cl without calling the linker, prefix all that with a /LINK (or -LINK or maybe even -link I forget now). I'm not sure if uuid.lib is needed, though.

Thanks for the quick reply. I still have two more errors:

libui.lib(fontdialog.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_wcstod referenced in function "struct fontDialog * __cdecl beginFontDialog(struct HWND__ *,__int64)" (?beginFontDialog@@YAPEAUfontDialog@@PEAUHWND__@@_J@Z)
libui.lib(colordialog.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__wtof referenced in function "void __cdecl aDoubleChanged(struct colorDialog *)" (?aDoubleChanged@@YAXPEAUcolorDialog@@@Z)

Not sure how to fix those.

Should there be instructions to include those libraries in README.md when using cl?

[andlabs]

Oh right, you'll also need the proper msvcrt. I forget what version VS2017 belongs to.

Note: I am using Visual Studio 2019, 16.0.0-pre2.0 NOT 2017. Is that the problem?

It seems like the /M options need to match as well, hmmm. Try adding /MD or /MT before /ilnk. I don't know which one is correct off the top of my head; sorry.

[code2828]

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently not on that computer, but I wil try that as soon as I can.

I am not very familiar with Windows, but I have mostly identified the cause. The problem occurs when calling MsgBox, which is implemented with TaskDialog. TaskDialog needs comctl32 version 6, but the default is version 5. To fix this, you need to specify version 6, for example, by creating a manifest file in the same folder as the executable.

While this may be a bit inconvenient for a portable library like libui, it is a workable solution.
