Example not compiling: getini

[Titan]

I get this error when I go to compile the getini example.  I have the latest service pack installed too. :(

It looks like that you are missing somethings to build your project, can you post your commandline parameters and your source code?

[Titan]

I'm using "makeit.bat" to build it.  getini is an example that comes with the new service pack.  It's in: C:\masm32\exampl11\getini.

I have no problems building the example. I can trigger similar errors by commenting out the line:

Code Select Expand


include \masm32\include\masm32.inc


And I get:

Perhaps something in the SP installation went astray. Can you build other examples OK?

Titan,

make sure you copied the laest macro file to the macro directory. Then make sure you are including bot the masm32 libray and include file.

[Titan]

Yep, I applied the service pack.  And I'm using your exact example!  So yeah, I got all the includes in there.:D

And MichaelW, I did try more examples and I found another one that couldn't compile.  This is msort in C:\masm32\exampl11\sorts\msort.

Press any key to continue . . .

I have the latest service pack, however these functions(readline and writeline) are not in my MASM32.inc.

Edit: Problem solved!

include \masm32\m32lib\masm32.inc
includelib \masm32\m32lib\masm32.lib

That is where my latest masm32 is.  It's all working now. :)  And thank you for the wonderful example, it makes reading/writing files very easy. :U
