How to use MASM32 include?

[anta40]

This is a project, which doesn't build under EasyCode v2.00.0.0011

============== addr - Debug ==============

Assembling: addr
addr.asm(21) : error A2008:syntax error : str$

Of course I've added masm32.inc and masm32.lib into the project definition.
The zipped project is attached.

Add \masm32\macros\macros.asm

[anta40]

OK, I've added \masm32\macros\macros.asm so it's enlisted in the include section at EasyCode.

Now I get more errors

============== addr - Debug ==============

Errors ocurred.

I think str$ need msvcrt.inc and .lib.

I think str$ need msvcrt.inc and .lib.

Line 2215 in macros.asm

look at the file \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

Sorry, dwtoa is in masm32.inc, and it's already included in the project.

[jj2007]

OK, for the record:
- no, it doesn't need the CRT
- yes, it does need macros.asm

If you don't believe me, go to line 55 in the attachment and comment out the macros.asm line.

Hi anta40,

Attached is your project corrected and working fine.

The Easy Code macros option, in the Project Properties, has been removed to avoid conflicts with the MASM32 macros.
