Compiling Open Source Editor

[Ishad Nha]

I initially could not compile the Open Source Editor on Dev-C++, I got the following error:

427 dlogtool.cpp

implicit declaration of function `int atoi(...)'

The error was corrected by adding this to the

start of dlogtool.cpp:

#include "stdlib.h"

 

So far so good, but then I could not get the linking to work. Can anyone tell me what is an undefined reference and how can I correct it?

There are a few problems with the Editor that I would like to correct.

 

Linking Errors reported were as follows:

I'm pretty sure "undefined reference" means that it can't find a function. Assuming the function actually is defined, this means either it needs to be declared extern or it needs a prototype (also extern I think) in the file that references it (or a file #included by that file, obviously).

 

I think I haven't missed any possibilities here...

I can now get the open source editor to compile, but the resulting program is 296Kb versus the correct size of 735Kb. The economy size editor starts up properly then, I can't get it to load a scenario.
