[fpc-pascal] $LINKLIB MSVCRT on windows/osx
Hey:
Has anybody got a clue how to statically link the windows c run time with
lazarus/freepascal on Windows 7/8 x32 or x64?
Looking at gdbint.pp, there are all sorts of references to {$LINKLIB
libmsvcrt.a}
But there is only libmsvcrt.a when I install MingW 4.8.1 compiler
Since forum.lazarus.freepascal.org is no longer available, any prior
posts about this topic are gone.
Cheers,
Marco

Oops:
That was a typo error.
First I need to link to c run time on Windows.
Then I need to link to c run time on OSX.

Those afaik are not about statically linking msvcrt, but about the gdb
C (and the C/Unix libs it depends on) needing this library to link to
the msvcrt DLL. IOW it is an import library.

Re: [fpc-pascal] $LINKLIB MSVCRT on windows/osx
Marco:
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to use {$LINKLIB ceecodelib.a} .
But this compiled c code makes references to Windows C Runtime calls
like _memcpy, etc.
Under linux, I was able to use {$LINKLIB c} and it picked up all the
unresolved references for the linker.
Under Windows Win32 (On Windows 7,8, etc), I do not see any blogs or
posts that indicate how to resolve references
like linking to the C runtime (msvcrt.dll)
Instead of manually providing a link to msvcrt.dll, I want to tell the
linker to look for unresolved references there.
I also have to get the problem solved on OSX.
Thanks for any advice you may have,
Cheers,
md

What is that library compiled with? I guess mingw.
You probably need various .a files from that compiler to get this working.
Preferably exactly the same version and exactly the same build, though
I guess import libs are pretty invariant.
The ones that you see in gdbint are meant to be used with a package that
contains libgdb.a and all other .a's that are dependencies from the mingw
suite these were built with.

Re: [fpc-pascal] $LINKLIB MSVCRT on windows/osx
Marco:
Based on the tone of your response, I am thinking that I
am doing something stupid on windows win32?
Should I be using Microsoft compiler to build ceecodelib.a? (Instead of
Mingw 4.7x)
I was seeing COFF magic error for Microsoft compiler static libraries.
The amount of information I found on compiling c-code for static linking
against freepascal has
been pretty sparse, so I guessed that I need to use a gcc compiler to
create static linkable code for freepascal 2.6.2
A good example is inside the static library ceecodelib.a which calls:
GetTickCount( )
My pascal code successfully links {$LINKLIB objwin32/libceecode.a}, but
that is not the real problem.
This error shows up in the linker for freepascal as:
Error: Undefined symbol: _GetTickCount@0
So that is what I am trying to get rid of, all the unresolved references
by telling the linker where to find the function
without having to manually put a function GetTickCount : DWORD; cdecl ;
external name 'Kernel32.dll' ; in a pas file for every unresolved reference.
Just easier with {$LINKLIB kernel32}, except the compiler spits out:
Error: Import library not found for kernel32. (Yikes!)
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, your my only hope.

Not really. You are just asking C questions in a Pascal list :-)
Should I be using Microsoft compiler to build ceecodelib.a? (Instead of

No, but you should get the relevant libs from that mingw compiler that you
used.
This error shows up in the linker for freepascal as:
Error: Undefined symbol: _GetTickCount@0

If you link the .a library in C, you must provide a whole bunch of -l
options on the gcc cmdline.
It is those options (and the corresponding .a files from the mingw
distribution you used) you must provide here.
Just easier with {$LINKLIB kernel32}, except the compiler spits out:
Error: Import library not found for kernel32. (Yikes!)
FPC doesn't not need import libs. So you must provide those yourself from
the development system you used to create the .a.
