Title: timeGetTime()
Post by: Brandlingill on September 22, 2006, 12:24:16 pm

Hi.

I am trying to learn C++ but I've hit a problem and can't find a solution. I am trying to use the timeGetTime() function and if I have understood correctly I just need to #include windows.h and add minmm.lib to the project properties. Ok, I have done the #include but when I try to build it a message says that there is an 'undefined reference to timeGetTime@0'. I've searched on my system (Windows XP) and there is a libwinmm.a file in codeblocks/lib, which I assume is what is needed? In Build -> Compiler Options -> Directories -> Linker, the libs folder is listed so I'm not sure what the problem is. Could anyone please give me a clue about what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

add minmm.lib

This should be libwinmm.a.
In other words, add "winmm" in linker libraries.

Would you believe I tried for hours to fix this? It now works fine.

Thank you very much mandrav!
