How to fix these three RadASM compile errors?
 

I'm working on an asm file, now seems only 3 errors, I don't understand it, anyone can give help? Many thanks.

K:\testasm\_tolower.asm(18) : error A2008: syntax error : _SYSTEM_INFO
K:\testasm\_tolower.asm(38) : error A2008: syntax error : type
K:\testasm\_tolower.asm(498) : error A2081: missing operand after unary operator

First Error:
first field of _SYSTEM_INFO struc cannot refer itself. In Windows it is an union
union {
DWORD dwOemId;
struct {
WORD wProcessorArchitecture;
WORD wReserved;
};
};
but you can replace the line
anonymous_0 _SYSTEM_INFO::$1593C2ABA4C275C0FBEC2498FA3B0937 ?
with
dwOemId dd ?
without problems


Second and third error:
"Type" name is a reserved word: simply replace it with _Type, for example

It works, many thanks, bilbo.

After generate the .obj file and do LINK with VC, it reports errors below, any lib file I need add when do LINK?

; Imports from KERNEL32.dll
; HMODULE __stdcall GetModuleHandleA(LPCSTR lpModuleName)
externdef GetModuleHandleA:dword

error LNK2019: Unresolved external symbol _GetModuleHandleA
......
error LNK2019: Unresolved external symbol _LeaveCriticalSection

you should link with kernel32.lib

But I have used it already, still get this error.

Below is the options I used:

LINK /nologo /NODEFAULTLIB /OPT:NOREF /out:test.exe test.obj lmgr.lib libsb.lib libcrvs.lib .\activation\lib\libnoact.lib oldnames.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib netapi32.lib advapi32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib comctl32.lib wsock32.lib libcmt.lib _tolower.obj

you need to set environment variable or include path for those libs in link parameters /LIBPATH, IIRC

Hi Av0id,

I do the VC setting as below, is this enough or still something missing? Thank you for your help on check.

@set MYPATH=C:\Program Files\VC2008
@set PATH=%MYPATH%\bin
@set INCLUDE=%MYPATH%\include;%MYPATH%\PlatformSDK\Include;%MYPATH%\atlmfc\include;%MYPATH%\DirectX_SDK\Include;
@set LIB=%MYPATH%\lib;%MYPATH%\PlatformSDK\Lib;%MYPATH%\atlmfc\lib;%MYPATH%\DirectX_SDK\Lib\x86;

kernel32.lib does not export GetModuleHandleA, but _imp__GetModuleHandleA
So you need to replace

Wow, it works, Thanks a million, bilbo.

May I ask one more question, here "@4" mean ? Sorry, I'm newbie on this.

Hi Bilbo,

Seems I can't simply copy/paste and just rename the function name as solution for other Unresolved external symbols.

I modify GetLastError as below, but don't works.
pr2 typedef PROTO £ºDWORD
externdef _imp__GetLastError@4:PTR pr2
GetLastError equ <_imp__GetLastError@4>

Is there easy way can work it out for all Unresolved external symbols below?

_GetLastError
_MultiByteToWideChar
_WideCharToMultiByte
_GetCurrentProcess
_VirtualAlloc
_VirtualFree
_SetLastError
_WriteFile
_GetModuleFileNameA
_GetSystemInfo
_VirtualProtect
_GetCPInfo
_GetLocaleInfoA
_VirtualQuery
_InterlockedExchange
_InitializeCriticalSection
_GetStringTypeW
_GetStringTypeA
_LoadLibraryA
_GetProcAddress
_GetStdHandle
_GetCurrentThreadId
_LCMapStringW
_LCMapStringA
_ExitProcess
_TerminateProcess
_HeapReAlloc
_HeapAlloc
_HeapFree

@4 means the total number of bytes required by function arguments (google for __stdcall calling convention). Now, GetLastError has no args at all. So, if you open kernel32.lib with an hex editor (I suggest you HxD) and look for GetLastError, you will find _imp__GetLastError@0 and not _imp__GetLasterror@4

have a look at this link

I like the approach you are following. I learned a lot of things using exactly the same approach than yours. By the way, how have you solved the assembly errors from defines such as
ms_exc = CPPEH_RECORD ptr -18h
in _tolower.asm?

Best regards

Sorry, it seems can't be download now, may I get your help to share if you have it?

Thank you, I have put much time on it, near succeed now, many thanks for your patience to help me.

I just add /Zm option when compile to make it back to masm5.10 .



Many many thanks, bilbo, you help me a lots, very appreciated. :)

Hi

Radasm set standart the environment variable or include path

You must only add in the source include the Lib

Include kernel32.inc
Includelib kernel32.lib

Or use a macro called "uselib"

uselib kernel,gdi32,.....

Hi ragdog,

I have done that way, but seems doesn't work, would you give more suggestion whether others need check? Thanks.
