Hi can someone help me on this matter. I create a win32 asm program that will call another function in another win32 asm file. Both will be in ELF format. I link them using GCC(ld.exe) tool but fail. This is my code

For main file name main.asm:

Code:

format ELF

include 'win32a.inc'

  extrn '__imp__MessageBoxA@16' as MessageBox:dword
     extrn '__imp__ExitProcess@4' as ExitProcess:dword
     extrn '_myInfoBox@4' as myInfoBox:dword

section '.data' writeable

        title   db      'Title',0
 info    db      'Testing String',0

section '.code' executable writeable

      public _WinStart
    _WinStart:
                      invoke  MessageBox,     0,info,title,0  
                    push info
                   call myInfoBox
                      invoke  ExitProcess,    0

The error is;
Undefined refrence to '__imp__ExitProcess@4'
For me its should not error because I already refrence it in main file.

For a linkable Windows output (an object file) you would use either "format coff" or "format ms coff".

Hello.
The answer is:

Code:

format ELF

;include 'win32a.inc'

        extrn '__imp__MessageBoxA@16' as MessageBox:dword
     extrn '__imp__ExitProcess@4' as ExitProcess:dword
;        extrn '_myInfoBox@4' as myInfoBox:dword
extrn ___main  ;                  ; for mingw32

section '.data' writeable

 title   db      'Title',0
 info    db      'Testing String',0

section '.code' executable writeable

;        public _WinStart
;        _WinStart:
include 'win32a.inc'
public _main
_main:
                      call ___main    ; for mingw32
                       invoke  MessageBox,     0,info,title,0
;                        push info
;                        call myInfoBox
                     invoke  ExitProcess,    0

And then:
gcc main.o -o final_GUI.exe -Wl,--subsystem=windows

gcc main.o -o final_CONSOLE.exe -Wl,--subsystem=console
