Errors when starting new project

Hi all,



I have included all files necessary including all the EGL, GLES2, and GLES headers etc… however at the moment I am getting an error and one warning



Error 2 error C2731: ‘WinMain’ : function cannot be overloaded c:usersxdocumentsvisual studio 2010projectsogles2_pvrogles2_pvrpvrshellos.cpp 764 1 OGLES2_PVR



and



Error 3 error C2065: ‘PVRSDK_VERSION’ : undeclared identifier c:usersxdocumentsvisual studio 2010projectsogles2_pvrogles2_pvrpvrshell.cpp 539 1 OGLES2_PVR



Warning 1 warning C4996: ‘_vsnprintf’: This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using _vsnprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details. c:usersxdocumentsvisual studio 2010projectsogles2_pvrogles2_pvrpvrshellos.cpp 79 1 OGLES2_PVR

Hi,



I believe the WinMain error is due to your project’s “Character Set” being set to “Use Unicode Character Set”. If you set this to “Use Multi-Byte Character Set” under the General Configuration Properties the error should go away.



As for the second error, PVRSDK_VERSION is defined in sdkver.h. However, I’m assuming this header can be found otherwise you’d get a different error. Also, if sdkver.h wasn’t defining it then PVRShell.cpp defines it. Has PVRShell.cpp been modified to not include sdkver.h or define PVRSDK_VERSION?



Thanks,



Scott

Hi Scott,



I have solved the PVRSDK_VERSION problem and carried out as you instructed with the WinMain error. This got rid of the error but then came back with many linker errors. I have already went into VS configuration properties and included the directories needed. Here is one of the errors



Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol “class PVRShell * __cdecl NewDemo(void)” (?NewDemo@@YAPAVPVRShell@@XZ) referenced in function “public: bool __thiscall PVRShellInit::Init(void)” (?Init@PVRShellInit@@QAE_NXZ) C:UsersjohnDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsOGLES2_PVR_WATEROGLES2_PVR_WATERPVRShell.obj OGLES2_PVR_WATER



Most of the errors are occuring within the PVRShellAPI.Obj

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class PVRShell * __cdecl NewDemo(void)" (?NewDemo@@YAPAVPVRShell@@XZ) referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall PVRShellInit::Init(void)" (?Init@PVRShellInit@@QAE_NXZ) C:UsersjohnDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsOGLES2_PVR_WATEROGLES2_PVR_WATERPVRShell.obj OGLES2_PVR_WATER


You need to implement the NewDemo function. This function should return a pointer to the class that inherits from PVRShell. If you take a look at our examples it looks something like

PVRShell* NewDemo()
{
return new OGLES2FilmTV();
}


Most of the errors are occuring within the PVRShellAPI.Obj

If PVRShellAPI.obj is outputting most of the linking errors I'd guess you aren't linking against libEGL, without seeing the errors I can't be sure though.

Is it possible if you can give me a run down on how to link the libEGL , as I believe this is the problem



Here are some of the errors I am encountering:
