Hi, I have written a small program to show text on the Windows desktop. Here it is:- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include "stdafx.h" #include <windows.h> // for GetDC and HDC #include <pango/pangowin32.h> // for PangoContext etc. int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { PangoContext aPangoContext = pango_win32_get_context(); PangoLayout aPangoLayout = pango_layout_new(aPangoContext); HDC aHDC = GetDC(NULL); pango_layout_set_markup(aPangoLayout, "<span font_family=\"Pothana2000\">쁖</span>", -1); int anX = 25, aY = 25; pango_win32_render_layout(aHDC, aPangoLayout, anX, aY); return(0); } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I think I have included all the lib files in lib and include in include but I still get the following errors:- --------------------Configuration: pango3 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... pango3.cpp c:\gnome\include\pango\pangowin32.h(33) : warning C4005: 'STRICT' : macro redefinition c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\windef.h(15) : see previous definition of 'STRICT' D:\squeak\pango3\pango3.cpp(41) : error C2079: 'aPangoContext' uses undefined struct '_PangoContext' D:\squeak\pango3\pango3.cpp(41) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'struct _PangoContext *' to 'int' This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast D:\squeak\pango3\pango3.cpp(42) : error C2079: 'aPangoLayout' uses undefined struct '_PangoLayout' D:\squeak\pango3\pango3.cpp(42) : error C2664: 'pango_layout_new' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'struct _PangoContext *' Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast D:\squeak\pango3\pango3.cpp(44) : error C2664: 'pango_layout_set_markup' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'struct _PangoLayout *' Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast D:\squeak\pango3\pango3.cpp(46) : error C2664: 'pango_win32_render_layout' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'int' to 'struct _PangoLayout *' Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast Error executing cl.exe. pango3.exe - 6 error(s), 1 warning(s) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// As you know I am on MS Windows compiling using Visual Studio 6.0. pkg-config didn't work either. I look forward to responses from you. Thank You, Himanshu. _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
