Hi all,
after a few attemps, I managed to get a "Hello World" Win32 project to compile and run on Visual Studio (the version I'm using is Visual Studio 2013, toolkit v120), but it did require a few changes in the uGFX library code.
The procedure I'm using is the following:
generate code (i.e. preview button in uGFX Studio) for a Hello World project (a simple container with a Label widget) from uGFX Studio (version 0.15 for Windows)
create a VS solution to compile both the uGFX library and the GUI code generated by uGFX Studio
To compile the library I'm using the "single file inclusion" method, therefore I just added the "gfx_mk.c" and "gdisp_lld_Win32.c" files (as well as "gui.c" and "main.c" generated by uGFX Studio) in the VS solution and set the include paths and preprocessor symbols accordingly.
Here the list of changes I had to apply to the uGFX library code:
file src/gos/gos_win32.c:
changed line 77:
//typedef LONG __stdcall (*_NtQuerySemaphore)( // INITIAL
typedef LONG (__stdcall *_NtQuerySemaphore)( // FIXED
file src/gos/gos_win32.c:
changed line 100:
//gfxThreadHandle gfxThreadCreate(void *stackarea, size_t stacksz, threadpriority_t prio, DECLARE_THREAD_FUNCTION((*fn),p), void *param) { // INITIAL
gfxThreadHandle gfxThreadCreate(void *stackarea, size_t stacksz, threadpriority_t prio, DECLARE_THREAD_FUNCTION(*fn,p), void *param) { // FIXED
file src/gos/gos_win32.h:
changed lines 49-50:
//#define DECLARE_THREAD_FUNCTION(fnName, param) threadreturn_t WINAPI fnName(void *param) // INITIAL
//#define DECLARE_THREAD_STACK(name, sz) uint8_t name[0];
#define DECLARE_THREAD_FUNCTION(fnName, param) threadreturn_t (WINAPI fnName)(void *param) // FIXED
#define DECLARE_THREAD_STACK(name, sz) uint8_t name[sz];
file src/gos/gos_win32.h:
changed line 99:
//gfxThreadHandle gfxThreadCreate(void *stackarea, size_t stacksz, threadpriority_t prio, DECLARE_THREAD_FUNCTION((*fn),p), void *param); // INITIAL
gfxThreadHandle gfxThreadCreate(void *stackarea, size_t stacksz, threadpriority_t prio, DECLARE_THREAD_FUNCTION(*fn,p), void *param); // FIXED
file src/gfx_compilers.h:
changed line 728:
//#warning "You are using an un-tested compiler. Please report any compile errors or warnings on the ugfx forum" // INITIAL
#pragma message( "You are using an un-tested compiler. Please report any compile errors or warnings on the ugfx forum" ) // FIXED
file src/gfx_compilers.h:
changed line 901:
//#define GFXINLINE inline // INITIAL
#define GFXINLINE __forceinline // FIXED
Obviously these changes are specific to Visual Studio and might (and probably will) break other compilers. If you like I can share the project with all resources (VS solution, updated uGFX library code, generated code for sample GUI).
Thanks,
Ettore
