Okay, here's a real simple question for you guys:

I'm just trying to get the example sdk greeterbot up and running under
VC++. When I try to build I get error message: unable to open file
aw.lib. I have the aw.dll, aw.lib and greeterbot source all attached to
the project, so what's the problem?

I'd be the first to admit that the problem is probably my lack of
understanding of how to use the program in the 1st place, bu if you
could set me straight it'd give me a starting point to work from :-)

Hmm, perhaps I should post some more details too:

Was my answer in AWGames sufficient, Fungus ?

I am not sure how much you know so let me give you some background.

The development process.

.c + .h = .o or .obj
.o + .o = .lib
.o + .o = .dll
.o +.o + .lib + .lib = .exe
.exe + .dll + dll = runing program.

So, if that makes any sense, you have a greeter.c and an aw.h and a couple of
other include files that, when compiled produce a .obj file. Then you take
your .obj file and combine it with the aw.lib file provided by AW and you get
an exe files that you can run.

Note that you do not need the aw.lib and the aw.dll. You can use one of the
other and because you are using VC++ you can use the aw.lib file without any
problems.

You mentioned that you added aw.lib to you project. The wording of this
statement could mean a few things but let me make some statements that may
clarify it for you:

1. Do not add the aw.lib as a file to the project.
2. Add the aw.lib into the project options dialogue box under linker
options.

Forgive me for not adding all the details but Walter is the VC++ expert. He
can tell you the exact name of the tab and so forth, but look under project
options somewhere.

Your project should only include the greeter.c file, you shouldn't even add
the aw.h file to it. that will be included at compile time using the include
paths you will set up. Again, look in project options, under compile and add
the path.

Hope this helps.

okay, (now I've actually read the manual that came with C++) so hopefully I
can ask this question more meaningfully ;-)

- Um, it's not VC++ but Borland C++

- It looks like I can compile everything just fine, apart from
- if I just try to create an .exe, with my bot.cpp file linking to
aw.h no problems
and no other files in the project I get Unresolved external
'_aw_XXXXX'
errors. I'm guessing that's because I haven't linked in aw.lib
properly.
- If I link the aw.lib file to the .exe I get Error:
'D:\BOTS\AW.LIB' contains
invalid OMF record, type 0x21

Thanks for the advice Edward and Faber (no, it isn't fixed :( but the
idiots introduction to C++ was very helpful, unlike the manuals)

Jan 11, 1999, 7:48pm
now thats a difference.. the aw.lib is not in borland library format, so you
would have to use
a impdef.exe or similar to generate aw.lib from the aw.dll yourself. i
cannot provide more detail since i don't know borland good enough...

Fungus, so now you understand that you can not use the aw.lib file supplied
by COF because they use VC++. Instead have to use the aw.dll file file
they release which any linker can use. Walter is referring to a tool supplied
with the Borland compiler that generates a .lib file that you can link
into your bot that will automatically load the aw.dll file.
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aw.dll + impdef = Funguses.lib
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Funguses.lib + bot.o = bot.exe
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; bot.exe + aw.dll = running robot.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
/* The aw.dll will have to be in your PATH for it to run */
<p>There are a lot of posts in the past abount using Borland C++ with the
aw.dll. I think someone actually released the new borland aw.lib file for
the latest sdk. Can't remember the author. Take a look at the history.

The warnigns appear because you are compiling a c sample source as a cpp =
programm. C++ is much more strict and generates more warnings or errors =
usually.

for the missing functions it still really looks like no aw.lib is linked =
to you project at all... i have no other explanation...

hi - Æd here...
I have tried doing just what Ed and Walter said with Implib.exe and get
a nasty error:

>implib.exe aw.lib aw.dll

Turbo Implib Version 2.0 Copyright (c) 1991, 1994 Borland International

Exception C0000005: Access violation
Module: IMPLIB.EXE Start address: 00410000
EAX=72AC3500 EBX=006A1358 ECX=FFFFFFFF EDX=006A2704 ESI=006A151C
EDI=72AC3561 EIP=00416757 EBP=0068FC84 ESP=0068FC80 EFL=00010246

I've tried this in DOS mode and same results, so it's not Windows 95 -
if the 2nd to last field in the error is correct - you need ESP to
figure this out! heh heh
Anyhow - if anyone has an idea on this one, or knows where to get the
Borland capable .lib file, please post!
(I've looked pretty hard through the threads, and saw some references to
these problems - but NO SOLUTIONS! why me?)

Thanks

I searched the borland site ( <A HREF="http://forumsearch.inprise.com:88/">http://forumsearch.inprise.com:88/</A> ) for
implib and found this.
<p><A HREF="http://forumsearch.inprise.com:88/search?NS-search-page=document&NS-rel-doc-name=/public/cppbuilder/commandlinetools/860&amp;amp;NS-query=implib&amp;amp;NS-search-type=NS-boolean-query&amp;amp;NS-file-key=/var/spool/news/spool/borland/public/cppbuilder/commandlinetools/860&amp;amp;NS-collection=cppbuildernews&amp;amp;NS-docs-matched=20&amp;amp;NS-doc-number=4">http://forumsearch.inprise.com:88/search?NS-search-page=document&amp;NS-rel-doc-name=/public/cppbuilder/commandlinetools/860&amp;amp;NS-query=implib&amp;amp;NS-search-type=NS-boolean-query&amp;amp;NS-file-key=/var/spool/news/spool/borland/public/cppbuilder/commandlinetools/860&amp;amp;NS-collection=cppbuildernews&amp;amp;NS-docs-matched=20&amp;amp;NS-doc-number=4</A>
<p>This is the relevant text. Seems the answer is a combination of impdef
and create a def file and implib to create the lib from the def and the
dll.
<p>One word of caution. When I did this for the GNU compiler I ended up
putting the full path name of the dll into the new lib file. This is not
a good thing from a portability perspective. So when you do the implib
make sure that the aw.dll is in the PATH or the current dir so that you
don't have to use a full path name.
<p>===================================================
<br>>Run impdef on the dll, like so:
<br>>
<br>> IMPDEF foo.def foo.dll
<br>>
<br>>This creates a file called foo.def.&nbsp; Now look at that file.&nbsp;
Since you've
<br>>already told me that it is a MSVC DLL, I can tell you what you will
see.
<br>>You will see some EXPORTS entries which look like:
<br>>
<br>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _Foo at 4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
=_Foo&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
at 2
<br>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bar&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
at 1
<br>>
<br>>For all functions that look like Foo, they have __stdcall calling
<br>>convention, and all functions which look like Bar have __cdecl calling
<br>>convention.&nbsp; You can verify this with the headers, if you want...
<br>>
<br>>Now, to create a BCB import library, you will need to change these
lines to
<br>>look like:> Foo=_Foo at 4> _Bar=Bar
<br>>
<br>>Once you've edited the .DEF file, now run IMPLIB like so:
<br>>
<br>> IMPLIB foo.lib foo.def
<br>>
<br>>This will create a BCB import library.&nbsp; Now simply add the import
library
<br>>to your project, and away you go.&nbsp; Don't forget to put the DLL
in the
<br>>current directory or somewhere your system will look for DLLs.

Getting sick of this yet? ;-)
<p>okay, this all sounds fine - makes sense and everything. But this is
what I get:
<p>when I
<br>> impdef fungus.def aw.dll
<p>I get a fungus.def that looks like
<p>LIBRARY&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; AW.DLL
<p>EXPORTS
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; __DebuggerHookData&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
at 1
<br>&nbsp;
<p>that's it - no external commands referenced at all
<br>and according to edward I guess this should be changed to
<p>EXPORTS
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _DebuggerHookData=DebuggerHookData
<p>as in
<p>Bar&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
at 1
<p>becomes
<p>_Bar=Bar
<br>&nbsp;
<p>however, whatever permutation of these suggestions I try the damn thing
still gives me the unresolved external errors. Thanks for the help btw,
edward + faber. Boy, I better get down to writing some pretty spectacular
bots to make all this worth it ;)

I can't believe we can't get this working.

With the Cygnus stuff I use a program called impdef that creates the attached
file but you will notice that it does not have any ordinal or = stuff after
it. Then there is another program that takes this .def and the .dll and
creates a .lib file for me.

Maybe you can try your impdef with the attached awsdk.def file that I created
from aw.dll version 12.

Well, sadly enough, Impdef causes the same Access Violation error
message. Perhaps my programs are just too old to handle the newest form
of VC++ DLL. (I am using Borland C++ 4.52) Most likely the problem.

Although there is better news! Using the aw.def file from you in the
form:

EXPORTS
aw_init
aw_term
aw_create
aw_destroy
etc...

I modified it to have the following redefinition's:

EXPORTS
_aw_init=aw_init
_aw_term=aw_term
_aw_create=aw_create
_aw_destroy=aw_destroy
etc...

I took this aw.def and implib'd it to aw.lib. Adding this lib to my
project allowed a successful compile and a program that runs! The only
bad thing is, I'm sure this will change with every revision of the sdk!
:(

Perhaps (if Roland is reading this post) a copy of the aw.def be
included in any future releases of the SDK? purdy-please?

But, Edward, thanks very much for your help! It is much appreciated!

(by the way - the link you included doesn't work for me...did this have
any mention of the Access Violation error? - I did find, however, a
reference of someone getting sent newer copies of implib and impdef. I
think I'll be sending an e-mail to Borland...)

Well I am glad it worked for you.

I attached the .cpp and .exe for my impdef so that you can recreate the .def
file each time. It only runs under DOS and prints the output to the screen so
you have to redirect the output to a file.

impdef aw.dll > awsdk.def

My apologies to the original author. I can't remember where I got it from.
Somewhere under the free downloads at ww.cygnus.com.

Good luck.

That program will do magic! When I get a chance I'll code it to
redirect output to a file in the proper format for Borland and post
it...
Thanks again!

There are no need for the def file if you are running under Borland CBuilder 3 - at least I don't have one :o)

<i>Hmm, unfortunately this trick doesnt seem to work with Bordland C++
5.0</i><i></i>
<p><i>the program will compile, but I get an error still complaining that
my exe is linked to missing export aw.dll:_aw_init</i><i></i>
<p><i>This is getting a bit tenuous now... I'm compiling as a win32 console
application, which according to borland accepts EXPORTS definitions so
that should be hunky dorey..... And I've tried all of the logical permutations
of _aw_init=aw_init, capitals, arrangement etc.</i><i></i>
<p><i>Perhaps someone could mail me a complete awBC++.lib file (just to
make sure it's not me being dumb emough to have miss-compiled the def file
in some way). Failing that the only thing I can think of is using the __export
command explicity in every line of the bot.c that calls an external function.
D'ya reckon that's worth a shot?</i><i></i>

Cool and Froody - thanks AEdificator :-)
<p>the def file worked just fine : trick was that it didnt require the
LIBRARY&nbsp; aw.lib line what I had at the top of my version of aw.def.
<p>Thanks for your help you two :-)

The real problem here is the fact that the Borland compilers prepend a "_"
to external identifiers
and the aw.dll exports its entry points without a prepended "_", which means
that the Borland
linker cannot find the function references. The redefinition of these entry
points using the DEF
file is one solution that will probably work with most Borland compilers.

There is another solution which avoids the whole naming problem which uses
the Windows
API LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress mechanism to load the addresses directly out
of the AW.DLL
file at run-time. This does work (I have used it in a C++Builder 3 component
that implements
the current SDK) and does not rely on having to update the DEF files if the
SDK changes.

Here is a copy of some C code that will do the job. It requires that you
redefine the SDK header
file to replace the API functions with the following definitions.

[View Quote] This is getting a bit tenuous now... I'm compiling as a win32 console
application, which according to borland accepts EXPORTS definitions so that
should be hunky dorey..... And I've tried all of the logical permutations of
_aw_init=aw_init, capitals, arrangement etc.

Perhaps someone could mail me a complete awBC++.lib file (just to make
sure it's not me being dumb emough to have miss-compiled the def file in
some way). Failing that the only thing I can think of is using the __export
command explicity in every line of the bot.c that calls an external
function. D'ya reckon that's worth a shot?

[View Quote] Well, sadly enough, Impdef causes the same Access Violation error
message. Perhaps my programs are just too old to handle the newest form of
VC++ DLL. (I am using Borland C++ 4.52) Most likely the problem.
Although there is better news! Using the aw.def file from you in
the form:

EXPORTS
aw_init
aw_term
aw_create
aw_destroy
etc...

I modified it to have the following redefinition's:

EXPORTS
_aw_init=aw_init
_aw_term=aw_term
_aw_create=aw_create
_aw_destroy=aw_destroy
etc...

I took this aw.def and implib'd it to aw.lib. Adding this lib to my
project allowed a successful compile and a program that runs! The only bad
thing is, I'm sure this will change with every revision of the sdk!

I would have to disagree with you, Tony, about the maintenance problem
you are facing compared to using the def method.
<p>Using the def method you get complete automation of the DLL stub library
creation whereas with your method you have to manually create the stub
library and will have to check/change your code every time a new release
is delivered.
<p>I work with the GNU G++ compiler and, in the beginning, I used the manual
stub method that you are proposing. It did work but was a continual problem
to keep up to date and check after each release. Once I worked out how
to automate the stub creation for the GNU compiler life became much easier.
I now just type make and a stub library is created for me.

I am surprised that Borland handles dll exported function names this way,
because usually the leading
underscore in dll exportet names (and in linker-level non-c++ function names
as well) is the calling convention.

Functions that use regular c calling convention have a leading underscore,
functions that use PASCAL calling convention have no leading underscore...
therefore a function prototype having the wrong calling convention declared
would lead to a linker unresolved external error instead of a program crash.

DLL exported function have by convention a PASCAL calling convention and
therefore no leading underscore. under rare conditions, such as variable arg
functions (wsprintf(const char *, ...) is such a function) must have c
calling convention, and are exportet using a leading underscore.

just FYI

Walter aka Faber

ps: calling conventions define the order of arguments on the stack
and the side (caller/callee) reponsible for cleaning up the stack
after argument usage / removal

Don't know if it's relevant or not, but in linking Borland Delphi (Object
Pascal) to the aw.dll, there was a choice of five calling conventions (register,
pascal, cdecl, stdcall, and safecall). At first, stdcall was used, but it didn't
work; then cdecl (the regular c calling convention) was used, and it has
continued to work fine.

Oh, that explains that the aw.dll exports functions using c calling
conventions and therefore those functions have leading underscores..

stdcall is somewhat close to pascal i think...
