Re: GNUStep Under Windows

[Darin Bray]

Ok...I attempted to use a makefile, and received the following error.

$ make
Making all for tool Fraction...
 Linking tool Fraction ...
C:/GNUstep/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../libmingw32.a(main.o):main.c:(.text+0x104): undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [obj/Fraction.exe] Error 1
make: *** [Fraction.all.tool.variables] Error 2


The contents of my makefile are...

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make

TOOL_NAME = Fraction
LogTest_OBJC_FILES = main.m

include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make


My source is as follows...

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Foundation/NSObject.h>
#import <stdio.h>

@interface Fraction NSObject {
        int numerator;
        int denominator;
}

-(void) print;
-(void) setNumerator: (int) n;
-(void) setDenominator: (int) d;
-(int) numerator;
-(int) denominator;
@end

@implementation Fraction

-(void) print {
        printf("%i/%i", numerator, denominator );
}

-(void) setNumerator: (int) n {
        numerator = n;
}

-(void) setDenominator: (int) d {
        denominator = d;
}

-(int) denominator {
        return denominator;
}

-(int) numerator {
        return numerator;
}

@end

int main( int argc, const char *argv[] ) {
    // create a new instance
    Fraction *frac = [[Fraction alloc] init];

    // set the values
    [frac setNumerator: 1];
    [frac setDenominator: 3];

    // print it
    printf( "The fraction is: " );
    [frac print];
    printf( "\n" );

    // free memory
    [frac release];

    return 0;
}


I attempted the example given in the Makefile link you supplied below and it works perfectly so obviously I am doing something wrong.  Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Don't try to call gcc directly - it's too hard.   Just use makefiles.
