undefined reference to `ICOpen@12'

Can anyone explain to me why I am getting this error?

#Include "win\vfw.bi"

#Define FCC(a,b,c,d) mmioFourCC(asc(a),asc(b),asc(c),asc(d))

Var hCodec = ICOpen(FCC("V","I","D","C"), FCC("M","P","G","4"), ICMODE_FASTCOMPRESS)

Thanks
-Vince

Try using FBC 0.20.0...

I thinkk you are an experienced user, so I would have expected that you could solve this problem yourself, or at least tell us what you tried. Obviously the compiler can not find the function you used, so why can it not find it? Do you have the DLL in your system? Do you have the required library?

I am an experienced user which is why this error makes no sense. This is a function thats been standard in Windows since Win95. Don't these libs come with the FB install? I have the DLLs because I use this function with VB with no problem.

According to the MSDN page for ICOpen, you should link with vfw32, but apparently FB doesn't ship that library; try using the one from the MinGW w32api package.

I copied every lib from there and I still get the same error. Oh well, I need to find another solution. I will leave this for when I have more time, or to a more experienced user.

I copied libavicap32.a (seems to be #inclib'ed by the vfw header) and libvfw32.a (for the ICOpen function) from MinGW\lib to FreeBASIC\lib\win32 and it compiled without problems using this command line:

fbc test.bas -l vfw32

(vfw32 linked manually since it's obviously not #inclib'ed by that headers)

Thank you for pointing that out. I had not even thought about manually adding inclib! :0
