  Chart Director with mingw

I am trying to build the simplebar demo application under mingw.

I tried this:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CodeBlocks\\MinGW\\bin>mingw32-g++.exe
C:\\Users\\James\\Documents\\code\\vase\\test\\simplebar.cpp
-IC:\\Users\\James\\Documents\\code\\vase\\ChartDirector_cpp\\include
-o C:\\Users\\James\\Documents\\code\\vase\\bin\\test.exe
C:\\Users\\James\\Documents\\code\\vase\\ChartDirector_cpp\\lib\\chartdir51.lib

but i get undefined references

C:\\Users\\James\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ccw6pJCJ.o:simplebar.cpp:
(.text$_ZN3BoxC2EP11BoxInternal[__ZN3BoxC2EP11BoxInternal]+0x10):
undefined reference to `Box2DrawObj'
C:\\Users\\James\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ccw6pJCJ.o:simplebar.cpp:
(.text$_ZN7TextBoxC1EP15TextBoxInternal[__ZN7TextBoxC1EP15TextBoxInternal]+0x10):
undefined reference to `TextBox2Box'

Should this work?

I also tried downloading and building the linux version of chart director.  The result was:

mingw32-g++.exe
C:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\ChartDirector\\cppdemo\\simplebar\\simplebar.cpp
-IC:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\ChartDirector\\include
-o C:\\Users\\James\\code\\vase\\bin\\test.exe
C:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\ChartDirector\\lib\\libchartdir.so.5.1.0

C:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\ChartDirector\\lib\\libchartdir.so.5.1.0:
could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi James,

ChartDirector for C++ for Windows is often used with mingw on Windows (typically for Qt
based projects), so it should work with mingw. I have just tried myself and it does work.

Is it possible you are using the 64-bit edition of ChartDirector, but your compiler is for 32-
bit Windows? If your compiler is 32-bit, you would need to use the 32-bit edition of
ChartDirector for C++, regardless of your operating system.

The Linux edition of ChartDirector definitely would not work as the mingw you are using is
for the Windows operating system.

Thanks, Peter.  That was exactly the problem ( using 64 bit library with 32 bit mingw )  Build
perfectly now

mingw32-g++
C:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\chartdir_cpp_win32\\ChartDirector\\cppdemo\\simplebar\\simplebar.
cpp
-IC:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\chartdir_cpp_win32\\ChartDirector\\include
-o C:\\Users\\James\\code\\vase\\bin\\test2.exe
-C:\\Users\\James\\Downloads\\chartdir_cpp_win32\\ChartDirector\\lib\\chartdir51.dll
