why winbgim.h not work will with codeblocks?

abu Alhassan (15)
hello my friends
is the header file winbgim.h is special for complier minGW?
if this right, why when I add it in a project in a codeblocks
the complier give me error such below?
in addition to the same way give errors if i include graphics.h
please help me my friends
thank you

I don't know where you got that header, but it's definitely not part of the standard MinGW distribution.
In any case, the compiler is accepting the header. The one who's complaining is the linker, about not having definitions for some functions. You need to link the import library. I've never seen that header before, so I can't help you there. Maybe someone else has.

helios
thank you for your attention and concern
i`d copied a part from the file to you
if any way to use the graphics.h header file without using borland complier?
thank you
excuse me for my importunity

there is no one can help me in this manner?
why?
help me with one word ?

thanks

Where did you got that? You see, this is a header file. It only contains declarations of functions. You also need the definitions to make it work. As helios said the definitions are inside a library file (usually named winbgi.lib or libwinbgi.a or bgi.lib or libbgi.a).

Do you have a file named like this? If yes, put your headers, winbgi.h and graphics.h in CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\ and then put that lib file in CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib\. Now, go to your project, and select from the menu bar: Project -> Build Options. Then go to the Linker settings tab and hit the Add button of the Link libraries box. Find that lib file and add it to your project. It should be ok now.

If you don't have this file, you can get the whole package from here:

http://www14.brinkster.com/aditsu/console/ (- conio 1.2 and winbgim 3.52)

Oh, note that you may also have to link to libgdi32.a because functions defined there are used too.

EDIT: You may also want to do it like this:

1
2
3
4
 
//...
cin>>y;
closegraph();
//...

so that you can actually see what you've drawn... :P

i very thanks to helios and m4ster r0sh
really i thanks my problem was in the linking the header containing library
but there is some thing remain
that is why the screen be like loading some thing and when i click on it became " not responding"
again thanks very mach

Ah, yes. Don't use cin>>y; Do it like this instead:

1
2
3
4
 
//...
getch();
closegraph();
//...

Here's an example I found and uploaded to pastebin -> http://pastebin.com/f0yzgLnu
