While getting ready for cs130 (thanks to Lei and James for all the help), I tried building and running comctl32/tests/updown.c standalone on winxp using Visual C++ Express 2005 (the freely downloadable one) and the Platform SDK (also freely downloadable, needed for e.g. user32.lib and .h files).
First I tried building it by starting cmd with the visual studio environment vars defined (using the handy Start/Programs/Visual C++/Visual Studio Tools/Visual Studio Command Prompt start menu entry installed by visual C++): cl -DSTANDALONE -D_X86_ -I../../../include updown.c user32.lib gdi32.lib comctl32.lib This failed to compile, complaining about redefinitions in rpc.h. I worked around that as suggested by Lei Zhang by avoiding letting cl see any of the Wine headers but wine/test.h, by doing mkdir wine copy ..\..\..\include\wine\test.h wine cl -DSTANDALONE -D_X86_ updown.c user32.lib gdi32.lib comctl32.lib This failed to compile, complaining about WM_QUERYVISTATE being undefined. I worked around that as suggested by Lei Zhang by defining _WIN32_WINNT to the right value: cl -DSTANDALONE -D_X86_ -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x502 updown.c user32.lib gdi32.lib comctl32.lib That failed to link, complaining it couldn't find user32.lib. I worked around that by doing echo setenv LIB=%LIB% > setenv.bat editing that batch file to append ;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib and running it. That worked (whew), but running the test found two failures: updown.c:509: Test failed: create parent window: the msg 0x0281 was expected, but got msg 0x0007 instead updown.c:522: Test failed: add updown control with edit: in msg 0x0005 expecting lParam 0x4b005b got 0x440065 updown: 133 tests executed (0 marked as todo, 2 failures), 0 skipped. I guess it needs a bit of tweaking. The system I tested it on is running Win XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2. - Dan
