nanogui: Thread: libmwin

Hi Greg,

If I (cross)build microwindows (full snapshot) for ARM and I try to use the 
libraries for an application It get an unresolved error. Looking at 
lib/libmwin.so with nm gives:

0004e280 T ValidateRect
0004e374 T ValidateRgn
         U WinMain      <<--------------
0004f664 T WindowFromPoint
0008cbb0 b ZeroDataBlock

If I comment out the line in   mwin/winmain.c  where the call to WinMain is  
made everything appears fine. (about line 115)

Do I miss something here?

best regards, Kees

Kees -

Yes, the call to WinMain is the call to YOUR application.  The
entry point for win32 applications is WinMain, not main.  Microwindows
uses the same approach.  The win32 "applications" actually contain
all the windowing code and draw directly to the framebuffer.  The
main() entry point is called in mwin/winmain.c, and that code then
calls WinMain, an external, to start running your code.

Greg,

Would 'ApplicationMain'  in the place of 'WinMain' not be more clear,
as 'Win' is a little ambigious name in my view.

I didn't invent the names - they are exactly compatible with 
Microsoft Win32 application programming interface.  If
you change the names, then programs won't compile unchanged.
