POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_WinMainCRTStartup'

[John Z]

Here is the batch build package - it has been tested on my largest program, the one mentioned previously.
It successfully builds from the IDE, or from a command window, the batch created final exe file
matched exactly the build by the IDE.

Change a few lines in make_all.bat, create baselink.lst (only 7 lines) and ready to build.

Limitations:  All source files must be in the same directory for make_objs.bat.  If multiple
              directories are used clone make_objs.bat to make_objs1.bat 2.bat etc., and change
              the source location in each.  Then call each from the make_all.bat
             
              Biggest thing is you must make the baselink.lst for the project manually

A general guide is in the 7z, and directions are also in each file as to what to change.

Hopefully useful, but if not its OK....

Thank You John

              Biggest thing is you must make the baselink.lst for the project manually

Now you can make it easily with an Add-in.

Use Add-in BaseLink.dll
Purpose: Write a BaseLink.lst header file for the batch file Make_link.bat
Where: The BaseLink.lst file will be in the currently active project directory
What to do with it:  Copy it to wherever the make_link.bat is for the given project being batch made

How: Copy dll to AddIns, restart Pelles load your project then
Run: Under Menu Projects - click "Create BaseLink.lst from Mode Selected"

project files along with a pre-made dll are in the zip.

 AddIn_EnumProjectFiles macro might be useful for creating cmd-files ?

[John Z]

I was thinking along that line too.  An Add-In could create the entire make_all.bat file and the BaseLink.lst file then the three other files stay static if just called and fed from the master.  Basically an embedded a batch file template within the Add-in, or even read in and written out,  filling in the blanks along the way to make a working make_all.bat.

The poccx method is entirely smoother and transparent once implemented, but having another method in reserve doesn't hurt.  Maybe, maybe...but small audience I'm guessing.

poccx is just a temporary solution for small group with 24H2.
generating batch files for other C compilers might be useful.

I don't understand why you spend your time like this. There aready have working solutions. Why continue like this?

Both of the solutions are nice. Thanks to Timo and John.
