I am a new in masm32,I need some help

[Henut]

I am glad you come here
I  write code as icz's example in RadASM
when I builde it     
There are a lot of mistakes
just as:
\masm32\lib\user32.lib(31) : error A2044: invalid character in file
\masm32\lib\user32.lib(32) : error A2044: invalid character in file
\masm32\lib\user32.lib(33) : error A2044: invalid character in file
\masm32\lib\user32.lib(34) : error A2044: invalid character in file

I want to know how to point out where the mistake it is,just as when bulid in VC it can point out which  codes has mistake.

Excuse me,I am not good at english

Hello Henut, welcome to the forum.

It looks like you are trying to include user32.lib with:

include \masm32\lib\user32.lib

When libraries must be included with includelib:

includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib

You can avoid these problems by replacing all of this:

Code Select Expand


      .486                      ; create 32 bit code
      .model flat, stdcall      ; 32 bit memory model
      option casemap :none      ; case sensitive

;     include files
;     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      include \masm32\include\windows.inc
      include \masm32\include\masm32.inc
      include \masm32\include\gdi32.inc
      include \masm32\include\user32.inc
      include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
      include \masm32\include\Comctl32.inc
      include \masm32\include\comdlg32.inc
      include \masm32\include\shell32.inc
      include \masm32\include\oleaut32.inc

;     libraries
;     ~~~~~~~~~
      includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib

      includelib \masm32\lib\gdi32.lib
      includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
      includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
      includelib \masm32\lib\Comctl32.lib
      includelib \masm32\lib\comdlg32.lib
      includelib \masm32\lib\shell32.lib
      includelib \masm32\lib\oleaut32.lib
. . .


With:

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

[Henut]

thanks for your advice
in the code I write:

include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\user32.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
include \masm32\lib\user32.lib
include \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

but it can't work well
the mistake still exist

if i copy icz's codes to paste,it will run normal.
but wen I type in by meself,there wiil be many mistakes

[Henut]

Oh my god
yes just as you say,I miss "lib"
thank you

Welcome to the world of...... strange people !! :U

[dedndave]

welcome to the forum   :U

yah - Iczelion's tutorials could use a little update   :P
if you get a "symbol redefinition" error,
it may be that the example program defines something that more recent versions of the masm32 package take care of for you

[Henut]

 :wink
many thanks your remind
I very like here,so many good natured man

about Sinsi's location...
i have a ham radio buddy down there in Moana Beach - pretty close to Sinsi
Peter - VK5ZPS
not too far from the antarctic circle - brrrrrr

[hutch--]

You would change your mind in the summer, I have been in Adelaide when it topped 120 degrees in the old scale.

[dedndave]

well - it's not that close to the circle, i guess   :P

wow - 35 deg S - that's not near as far south as i was thinking
that's not much different than the N lat of Phoenix
