Title: Two POLINK errors.
Post by: net2011 on December 22, 2011, 07:00:57 AM

Hello everyone. I tried running this code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

main()
{
	int x, y;

	x = 50;
	y = 50;

	gotoxy(x, y);
	printf("This phrase got moved to %d, %d\n", x, y);
	getch();
	return 0;
}

and it is giving me "POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol 'gotoxy'" and "POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol 'getch'. Thanks for the help.

Hi everyone. I changed my code to

Code Select

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

main()
{
	int x, y;

	x = 50;
	y = 50;

	_gotoxy(x, y);
	printf("This phrase got moved to %d, %d\n", x, y);
	_getch();
	return 0;
}

and it worked just fine.

Another solution ... particularly when updating old Turbo C code is to go into...

Project -> Project Options -> Compiler -> Define Compatibility Names = Checked.

This will bypass the underscore notation used with non-C99 standard functions.

Also ... You should know that conio.h is a non-standard library. I would imagine it's only included for updating old code and should not be used in newer software unless there is no interest whatsoever in creating portable code.
