Hi everyone, the compiler warnings have been solved - use a different Windows API function (which reverts to the original one if using the 32-bits version).
The linker continued to fail however, so I have switched to a newer version of the GCC compiler. (Quite possibly any version later than 4.7.0 will suffice, but I am now using 4.8.1) Regards, Arjen On Fri, 05 Jul 2013 09:57:12 +0200 "Arjen Markus" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > this is merely to communicate a problem I found with > Windows 64-bits.
