- After deveoping my fist screensaver mostly in C, using Microsofts
- scrnsave.h and following Microsofts API help .... A curious question came
- up?.
-
- Symantecs compiler complained that the microsoft library clibe did not
- exist.
-
- Luckly I had a copy of Visual C++ and I extracted the needed library...
-
- Actually the library was not needed.. The scrnsaver worked fine with or
- without Microsoft's library... Just a warning that it needed this library.
- I found if you put the Microsoft library in the same directory as your
- project ..Symantec's warning would disappear on linkage.. Note: you don't
- even enclude this in your project!
-
- Is this a bug with the purchased Symantec library or does Microsoft look
- for it's own library's for certain built in Window procedures ... such as
- its screensaver far
- Winmain procedure.
-
- This may not be a serious issue but I am curious if anyone else has seen
- and knows why this happens
-
- Thanks Ernie
