Porting the FCPlay lib to MASM32

[r0ger]

already inserted these libs that are required , and i'm still getting this error when i tried to implement it in masm32 .

LINK : fatal error LNK1196: invalid or corrupt import object: unknown version
i think i'm gonna try with fcplay 1.29 instead, because it only has a lot of stdcalls and the C++ headers can be easily ported in masm and can be compiled with it without any problems.

Hi
I found some .fc files here http://xmms-fc.sourceforge.net/.
Importing the binary content into the .const section does the trick.

Bin2inc.exe is the right tool, but incbin can also be used with less effort:

.const
fctune label BYTE
incbin <.\modules\Arcane-Theme.fc>
fctunesize = $ - fctune

Unfortunately, not that many .fc files are currently available.

Hi Biterider,

perhaps this is a copy of that archive
https://github.com/slippyex/TinyFC-Replayer/blob/master/test_modules/test_modules.zip

P.S. Is it possible to recode .mp3 format to .fc?

since i've already ported fc14play v1.29 from c++ to masm32, now all i need to insert i think , is crt.lib , so i get this error :

Code Select Expand

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "crt.lib"

do i need to get this lib from a new SDK ?

Try copying/renaming \Masm32\lib\msvcrt.lib

[r0ger]

added these commands into the linker : /NODEFAULTLIB:crt.lib /NODEFAULTLIB:libc.lib /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmt.lib /NODEFAULTLIB:oldnames.lib
, and then i've included msvcrt inc and lib, libvcruntime.lib, ucrt.lib and Uuid.lib , then i've got this error :

Code Select Expand

fc14play_v1.29.lib(fc14play v1.29.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___ftoll
now what lib should i need to use now ?

jj2007 , i tried renaming the msvcrt.lib to crt.lib and i get 2  __ftoll and _fltused errors.

Hi
@LiaoMi: Thanks for the link. The archive contains these and many other files 
I don't think you can easily convert a .mp3 to a .fc file, but I've learned never to say that something is not possible 

@ R0ger: CRT & Co are not easy to setup. If you show us your code, we can try to fix it.

oh yeah, almost forgot, here it is.

Hi R0ger
I checked your project, but unfortunately, the files you need are not part of the MASM32 distribution. You need to take them from the Windows SDK. You will also need a newer linker that is compatible with the FC-library.
Even if you've met all of these requirements, your app won't run. There are additional bugs that you need to find out. I changed the code so that the sound plays for a few seconds when the app starts. This is how to check if the library works okay.


I send you the modified source code for further study.

Oops, that was for Pelles C

This one is for msvc and CDECL, so inc file needs that C in function prototype.

EDIT: fc14_v1.29s.lib is just 32-bit stdcall version

[Biterider]

Hi TimoVJL
It would be great if you could compile the static library v1.29 for 32 and 64 bit (release, stdcall)

You mean for crtmt.lib ?
Link option -nodefaultlib:msvcrt.lib is useful.

EDIT: those was built with -Gz -O2 and using WDK 7.10 headers, so with masm32 libraries, just use -nodefaultlib:crtmt.lib

Hi TimoVJL
Perfect!, thanks for the files
