Title: How can I make program with Win32 function?
Post by: tumanovalex on October 03, 2008, 08:25:45 PM

I make simple console program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
void main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  char zag[] = "Russian string\n";
  CharToOem(zag, zag);
  printf("%s",zag);
   _getch();
} //main
and get:
POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '__imp__CharToOemA'.
POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).
Help me, please. I like Pelles C.

Hello tumanovalex.

Search for CharToOem on http://msdn.microsoft.com/ you'll get the following:
