DirectDraw linking problem

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

In order to make a custom DDraw project, I added the DirectDraw sample
project "DDEX4" in
Subprojects folder. Like CE 5, I had to add some lines in the "sources" file
of the project to specify the libraries (.h and .lib) needed by the program:

INCLUDES= \
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\HorizonPCEX\HorizonPCEX\WINCE600\VIABSP_x86\cesysgen\sdk\inc;
\
C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\IE\SDK\INC; \
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\HorizonPCEX\HorizonPCEX\WINCE600\VIABSP_x86\cesysgen\oak\inc;
\
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\HorizonPCEX\HorizonPCEX\WINCE600\VIABSP_x86\cesysgen\ddk\inc;
\
C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\SDK\SAMPLES\DDRAW\INCLUDE; \

TARGETLIBS= \
C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\OAK\LIB\X86\RETAIL\ddraw.lib \
C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\SDK\LIB\X86\RETAIL\ddutil.lib \
C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\SDK\LIB\X86\RETAIL\dxguid.lib \
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\HorizonPCEX\HorizonPCEX\WINCE600\VIABSP_x86\cesysgen\sdk\lib\x86\retail\uuid.lib
\
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\HorizonPCEX\HorizonPCEX\WINCE600\VIABSP_x86\cesysgen\sdk\lib\x86\retail\coredll.lib
\


It compiles, but doesn't link, returning the following errors:

BUILD: [01:0000000092:ERRORE] ddraw.lib(clip.obj) : error LNK2001:
unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDrawClipper

Anyone can explain this?

You should use $(_COMMONSDKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ddraw.lib rather than
hard coded the path.
And in fact, the macro $(_COMMONSDKROOT) will be replaced as
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\HorizonPCEX\HorizonPCEX\WINCE600\VIABSP_x86\cesysgen\sdk\
rather than
C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\OAK\LIB\X86\RETAIL\
You application, DXE4 is supposed to be link with the stub library of
ddraw.dll and the stub library is always generated under the CESYSGEN\SDK.
The LIB in PUBLIC\DirectX is the body of DDRAW.DLL which means it is for
generating the ddraw.dll in SYSGEN phase but not for linking with your app.
