trying latest mingw version
I am looking for some help. I am on Windows XP
32bit platform
I was using an old MinGw (the included in Bloodshed
Dev-C++ (v4.9.9.2)), developed a printer driver with that, it works
ok.
But then, I wanted to do the 64bit version of the
same driver same functionality, so as a first step I downloaded the last
MinGW, and give it a try.
As a first stage I just wanted to be able to
compile just the same 32bit driver with the new MinGW. And that is my current
goal.
When compiling, first dropped the error
'Boolean' not declared, so I wrote the declaration for it (old mingw
version don't show that error), as it was in some TIFF / JPEG third party
source, was easy.
Then, it dropped a lot of "obsolete conversion
const TCHAR...." errors, so I study what was, and fixed all those (was
classic _T("xxxxx") in function's call that for some security reason don't like
like possible security holes).
Then, it returns none error, and can compile
it. But when I installed, it return an error message when subscribing in
the printer spooler (maybe opening the port or creating the printer instance).
the error message is "incorrect arguments". This error is shown when the
installer runs "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "FlulpyPrinter" /f
"$INSTDIR\flulpy.inf" /r "FlulpyVirtual Printer" /m "FlulpyVirtual Printer" the
same installer's script that works.
Ok, Then, taked all the source as it was, and
compile it with the MinGw that is included in Bloodshed
Dev-C++ , compiled, tested, OK, works perfectly, so, I didn't
fucked up the source code, something else must be.
Then using the libraries (spool, fstream,
etc), of the folder in Dev-C++, but using
the latest version of mingw's BIN files for compiling, and the driver don't
works again, so the libraries aren't the problem, and minGW bins seems to
be the problem.
So, my question: I wonders if I needs to be aware
of more changes between the "minGW bin file of the version in Bloodshed Dev-c++
v4.9.9.2 package" VS "minGW bin file of new version"?
Thanks in advance.
