What does it take to compile a ^%$ MFC app?
mandrav:
--- Quote from: batagy ---One of the source file contains a reference to afxres.h, which is as far as I know (because I cannot code a single word :oops: ) is an MFC thing. I found it on internet, that if the source doesn't contain MFC's, in that case afxres.h can be changed to winresrc.h without any problem. So I changed to it to winresrc.h, but in this case the compiling fails, so it seems there are some MFC dependent function.

If there is no other dependency on MFC except afxres.h, try putting windows.h/winresrc.h (depends on the platform).
I had it happen to me once and I actually just comented out "#include <afxres.h>" and some language-specific instructions in the resource file and everything went fine after that.

Thanks.
When I try to compile it in its original form, CodeBlocks only highlights afxres.h. Does this means that afxres.h is the only MFC dependency?

I wouldn't know without looking at the log...
Read the build log carefully. It's all there ;)

Hi,
When I create a totally empty afxres.h file, and put in one of the headers folder, to following is the log of CodeBlocks:

When I put winresrc.h or windows.h instead of afxres.h in the gammu.rc file, the following occurs:

Now what's your opinion about this? I cannot do programming, so I don't know what it does mean.
Thanks

This indicates that the resource files were built. The linking failed.
Try adding advapi32.lib in your linker libraries. It should take care of the problem.
