My first compile.
Using Clipper 5.2e and RTLINK.

I got this EXE file that doesn't work.
After it was made, Clipper/RTLINK reported:
undefined symbol(s) after library search

Symbol First Reference
V_SELECT MyProg.obj
V_REPLACE MyProg.obj
V_RETRIEVE MyProg.obj
MSSTATUS MyProg.obj

What have I done or haven't?
Can someone help me please?
 
The V_ functions are from FLEXFILE.LIB which you haven't included in the .lnk script. I am not familiar with the other funcion calls, but you are not including the library they are a part of.
 
They are mouse calls, but I don't know what the library name is.
 
I did a search and found they are funcions from
Artful FreshWin.
If interested, you can order the Artful FreshWin library from:

Thankyou both to Sam and DTracy for replying to my post!
I really appreciated your responses.
I was hoping that I would be able to compile this program using the default Clipper libraries, but it’s obvious now that this isn’t possible. (I was beginning to think that it was a library thingy)
Instead of purchasing these libraries, I think that the investment and time should be put to a newer win app!
Thanks for making my decision easier for me.

 
You're welcome. You might consider xHarbour xbase compiler as you already the lion's share of the source code in Clipper. Just re-write to make multi-tasking (if it is not already) and compile/link with xHarbour. There are people on this forum who are very knowledgable with xHarbour and would probably answer questions if you get stuck. It won't cost you anything but some time to find out if you can handle the job.

Good luck with the project,

David.
