Hi,

Error: Unresolved external 'AdsCloseCachedTables' referenced from C:\XHARBOUR\LIB\RDDADS.LIB|adsfunc

Vilian,

From http://www.xharbour.org/index.asp?page=news/20050324:

# Added AdsCacheOpenTables() and AdsCacheOpenCursors() function. (for all versions Ads) and AdsCloseCachedTables() for Ads 7.x and above. ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION 7 must be set for the last function

# Allow setting of ADS_REQUIRE_VERSION using compiler command line switch

[vilian]

Antonio,

I did not understand. Not use AdsCloseCachedTables() in my system.

[Antonio Linares]

Vilian,

As a workaround try to add this code to your main PRG:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#pragma BEGINDUMP

void AdsCloseCachedTables( void ) {}

#pragma ENDDUMP

Antonio,

Unhappyly it did not decide the problem.

Vilian,

If you are not using ADS, then there are two libs you should not be linking into you app. RDDADS.LIB and ACE32.LIB.

Do you get the same error ?

[vilian]

Antonio,

The error message is the same one:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland
Error: Unresolved external 'AdsCloseCachedTables' referenced from C:\XHB\LIB\RDDADS.LIB|adsfunc


One will detail interesting that I observed is that in the installation of xHarbour that comes with FWH 7.11 does not have the Ace32.lib archive.

[Antonio Linares]

Vilian,

> does not have the Ace32.lib archive

Thats because you have to create that library yourself from the used ACE32.dll:

implib.exe Ace32.lib Ace32.dll

[Antonio Linares]

Vilian,

Try it this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <windows.h>

void pascal AdsCloseCachedTables( void )
{
   MessageBox( 0, "inside AdsCloseCachedTables", "ok", 0 );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP


[vilian]

Antonio,

Now it´s fine. Thank you

Try it this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <windows.h>

void pascal AdsCloseCachedTables( void )
{
   MessageBox( 0, "inside AdsCloseCachedTables", "ok", 0 );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP


When I got this error, initially I just try to create a stub function

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

function AdsCLoseCachedTables()
return nil

But that didn't solve the problem. Only after putting in Antonio's code above does it links with no error. Out of curiousity, why is it so?

Ok, back to play with 7.12

> Out of curiousity, why is it so?

Because the linker is requiring a C level function, not a PRG level one
