Beginner questions / Re: Pomake incompatibility

Missing CR from last line.

Since version 11 something is wrong with it.
pomake v.10 works with a your example.

My problem is with PellesC 13.00

Beginner questions / Error #2158 Unrecognized type ...

Last post by Jerry - November 11, 2025, 07:07:32 PM

Dear all,

I am working on adding a graphical user interface to one of my curve-fitting codes. The code compiles and runs correctly with several other compilers (CodeBlocks 2025, Visual Studio, Intel OneAPI, and GCC), but Pelles C reports the following error:

Error #2158: Unrecognized type 'ssize_t'


I have already checked previous discussions on this forum and tried the common suggestions, including adding:

#include <sys/types.h>
#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ 1


Unfortunately, the error persists.

Does anyone know how to properly enable or define ssize_t in Pelles C? My understanding is that ssize_t should be available by default, as it is in the other compilers I have tested.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Beginner questions / Pomake incompatibility

Last post by italofutura - November 11, 2025, 01:44:55 PM

Hi I try to run this makefile.

Isend here in order to not spam the bug reports (in case I misuse pomake)

Jom 1.1.4 Windows 11 x64

and

Nmake ("c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.44.35207\bin\Hostx64\x64\nmake.exe")

work fine.

Pomake runs the first two dependency lines and crashes with Access Violation.

Hi Timo,

There is also the GetTickCount function. The documentation states that :

NtQuerySystemInformation may be altered or unavailable in future versions of Windows.

Another method to get the boot time is to use the GetTickCount64 API function.

Works only since Vista.

This is quite short.

Code Select Expand

    NtQuerySystemInformation(SystemTimeOfDayInformation, &stodi, sizeof(stodi), 0);
    // (*(LONGLONG*)&stodi.BootTime) -= (*(LONGLONG*)&stodi.TimeZoneBias);
    stodi.BootTime.QuadPart -= stodi.TimeZoneBias.QuadPart;
    (*(LONGLONG*)&ft) = (*(LONGLONG*)&stodi.BootTime);
    FileTimeToSystemTime(&ft, &st);

User contributions / Offline GitHub MS Documents

Last post by John Z - November 09, 2025, 05:21:33 PM

Attached is the full release for the access program for the win32-docs.zip downloaded from GitHub:
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32

This provides a way to use and access documentation (mainly the API Names) from the GitHub documentation effort off-line, and searchable.

The documents can be viewed in the .md format or in a .html format.  Searching is provided in the .md display, and of course intrinsically in the web browser viewing .html.

TimoVJL provided the code/method to search the win32 documentation for API NAMES from which I created a database and the rest of the program.  See readme_v4.txt, for other external source code attributions.

It is possible that the MD_Files_3.db3 could be expanded in the future to include all topics in the win32-docs.zip and that would not require changing the basic program to be immediately useful.  TBD
