I'm using Pelles C 8.00 64bit and I want to generate a 32bit version and a 64bit version of my program.
For the 64bit executable there is no problem: I open the "Pelles C Command Prompt (64 bit)" command window and give the command:
cc myprog.c /omyprog64.exe
To create the 32bit version, I thought I could do the same by opening the "Pelles C Command Prompt" window.
Unfortunately, using the command:
cc myprog.c /omyprog32.exe
I get a lot of error messages from the linker like:
POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '__imp__CloseHandle@4'.
...
Based on what I've found on this forum I've tried many different variation of the command:
cc -Tx86-coff myprog.c /LIBPATH:"%PellesCDir%\lib\win" /omyprog32.exe
but none seems to work.
Basically, it's similar to this question: http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=5151.0 (http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=5151.0) but the other way around.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks.
This works for me:"%PellesCDir%\bin\cc" -Ze -Tx86-coff test.c /LIBPATH:"%PellesCDir%\lib\win" /otest32.exe
"%PellesCDir%\bin\cc" -Ze -Tx64-coff test.c /LIBPATH:"%PellesCDir%\lib\win64" /otest64.exe
pausecheck that PellesCDir variable.
Thanks TimoVJL.
Same result :(. The %PellesCDir% variable is correct.
I wonder if I had made any mistake in the installation.
From the download page I took the "Setup, 64-bit edition" version installer and accepted the default options (except for the directory, I installed in "C:\pelles" to avoid the space in the path).
I'm wondering if I miss any DLL (or similar) on the Windows side. I'm on WIn10 64bit.
WORK AROUND::
I made it work by explicitly linking the kernel32.lib library. I had to specify the full path:
cc -Tx86-coff myprog.c /LIBPATH:"%PellesCDir%\lib\win" "%PellesCDir%\lib\win\kernel32.lib" /omyprog32.exe
Hope this can help anyone with the same problem :)
