MS Visual++ 6.0 - Error C2146, C2501 ...

Expand Post »

Let me declare from the start my "innocence" in C++. :cheesy: I did some "C" progs but I ran over a C++ code which I am supposed to modify. Modifications are not hard, but it is hard to get a compilation.

I don't know what compiler had been originally used because these folks are long gone ...

I am including the code (minus functions) and the errors hoping that someone could help me. Many Thnks and sorry for the lenghty message ...

Re: MS Visual++ 6.0 - Error C2146, C2501 ...

I am a beginner to VC++, started just today. I get the same error for my first program:

#include<windows.h>

int_stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE i, HINSTANCE j, LPSTR k, int l)
{
MessageBox(0,"Hi","Title",0);
return(0);
}

Errors:

error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'WinMain'
error C2501: 'int_stdcall' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashok

Re: MS Visual++ 6.0 - Error C2146, C2501 ...

Try adding a space between int and _stdcall.

In the future, try to put your code between [code][/code]. For example, writing the following...

[code]#include<windows.h>

int _stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE i, HINSTANCE j, LPSTR k, int l)
{
MessageBox(0,"Hi","Title",0);
return(0);
}[/code]

...will produce the following:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include<windows.h>
 
int _stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE i, HINSTANCE j, LPSTR k, int l)
{
   MessageBox(0,"Hi","Title",0);
   return(0);
}
#include<windows.h>
 
int _stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE i, HINSTANCE j, LPSTR k, int l)
{
   MessageBox(0,"Hi","Title",0);
   return(0);
}

You have set up your build tool to create a console application, but you have code for a Windows GUI application. Try creating a new project and select "Win32 Application" instead of "Win32 Console Application". Then try rebuiliding your code. Or else try changing your code to this.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include<windows.h>
 
int main(void)
{
   MessageBox(0,"Hi","Title",0);
   return(0);
}
#include<windows.h>

int main(void)
{
   MessageBox(0,"Hi","Title",0);
   return(0);
}

Re: MS Visual++ 6.0 - Error C2146, C2501 ...

Hi,
My VC++ program compiles only if I add #include<windows.h> in all the files in my project. Is there any way by which I can put the #include directive in a common place?
