A question about FASM compiling

[step8]

I create a simple FASM project using EasyCode IDE.
It generate a asm source file:Project1.asm:

Code: [Select]

section '.data' data readable writeable

hInst dd 0

szClassName db 'EasyCode2MainWindow', 0
szTitle db 'Main Window', 0
szRiched20 db 'riched20.dll', 0

section '.text' code readable executable

In the IDE,this code compiles OK,but when I compile this file using command line ,it compiles failed.
And I notice the included files in the project explore window,I wander how the IDE manage these include files to work?

Thanks

Hello,

All needed "include (*.inc)" files must appear in the "Include" node of the Project Explorer (by using the "Project-->Add Include/Header file (*.inc;*.h)..." menu option). In the same way all needed "library (*.lib)" files must appear in the "Library" node of the Project Explorer (by using the "Project-->Add Library file (*.lib)..." menu option). Then Easy Code internally takes care of all those files by including them in a temporary file that is deleted after compilation.

NOTE: Library files (*.lib) ARE NOT needed for FASM classic projects.

Thanks, EC is very good IDE.
I'm just curious how this IDE make these inc file works.I read the asm file,there are no instructions like

Code: [Select]

     format PE GUI 4.0
     entry start
and there are no Import instructions.
I don't know how to add these information out side the asm source file.
And,is it mean that once I create a project using EasyCode,I must compile it in the IDE,I can't compile it manually?

I think I understand it now,thanks

Thank you for using Easy Code!

Yes, when you create a project using EasyCode, you must compile it in the IDE which make things easier.

Regards.
