Hi there, especially Johannes,

the never-ending story continues ... but the end is getting near.

After having a look at the ms psdk, I decided to comment out the offending lines in pix_videoDS.h (1271-72):

wsprintfW(wsz, L"FilterGraph %08x pid %08x", (DWORD_PTR)pUnkGraph, GetCurrentProcessId());

Am I right with the assumption that the above line just prints out some debugging stuff? According to the MS PSDK, wsprintfW is deprecated and should not be used anymore. They recommend using StringCchPrintfW instead, but that didn't work either - in any case, they didn't manage a smooth transition ...Will it do any harm do gem if this statement is missing in the dll?

Furthermore, I ran into some trouble with partlib_actions.cpp : including iostream.h instead of iostream doesn't work with mingw, iostream works quite well on the other hand. Since iostream.h is necessary for vc6, I changed this block to:

#if defined __WIN32__ && !defined __MINGW32__ /* jmz: at least my vc6 doesn't like linking against the "new" io-libraries * with <iostream.h> it links against the old libs */ #include <iostream.h> #else #include <iostream> #endif

which compiled fine. Another issue in this file is the use of the drand48() function, which was missing. It gets defined in part_vector.h, but the function was still missing after I included this file in partlib_actions.cpp. Looks like the WIN32 definition gets lost somewhere inbetween? I resorted to copy&paste the definition #ifdef __WIN32__ #define drand48() (((float) rand())/((float) RAND_MAX)) #define srand48(x) srand(x) #endif into partlib_actions.cpp, that worked.

I realise that these are quite ugly hacks, but I just want to get the cvs gem compiled with mingw ...

Another issue is linking all the .o-files into a dll - command line for dllwrap.exe is getting too long ... bummer.

with kind regards, thoralf.
