Aside from the "#include" without any such file to be included, void main() is considered incorrect per the specification: "5.1.2.2.1 Program startup The function called at program startup is named main. The implementation declares no prototype for this function. It shall be defined with a return type of int....". The correct definition is int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) or just int main(void) with return statement as per the situation.

Excellent explanation! I hope you don't mind if I ask another question,
How am I supposed to grab a 32-bit value from a block of memory which is an array of
8-bit values?

I am expecting a 1234 instead of a 1 in the integer.

Silly me!, Thanks for the quality answer, I now use uint8_t and the code works as expected.

Thanks. I found out that it was a bug (not exactly) with SDL, it doesn't use the standard output.

Thanks for the quality answer and the time taken to write it.
I wonder if it's possible to create a Console Application in C# which calls QEMU, and then redirect the output of that console application. Messy but I think it should be able to do that.

On my PC? Yes I do...., QEMU? I really have no idea. How is it possible to change video modes in EFI? When you have nothing to work, Am I supposed to write a driver for a specific video card, when it comes to EFI?

Try downloading the install package again from the Install Shield website,...
Look at this thread : http://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?207204-InstallScript-Setup-Launcher-Unicode-Has-Stopped-Working-(Windows-message)

Thanks for those links SA
What I wanted to actually learn is about Windows exes
Of course making a compiler is very different but at the end of the story, the compiler generates an EXE
5/5!!

This is like "I want to make a new physics law How would I do it?" Specify where are you having a problem. Work on your application for sometime and then see where are you having a problem.

Yes, CLR/CLI is required for interaction between .NET and unmanaged code, But I was thinking about the program, will it require the .NET Framework if he calls the .NET Dll, from a C/C++ Program,......

Thanks for the solution but all in vain, I couldn't get that to work :(

5/5!

Simple and Straight 5/5 :)

I don't want a full featured Parser I have already seen them. I just want what I explained in the question.

Check whether your application has proper access to Internet, FTP involves receiving files so Windows Firewall or any other antivirus may be blocking it. Try disable them. Also specify any kind of debug log if possible.

P.S : The most awesome commentor on CodeProject : ThePhantomUpvoter

Who the told you C++ is not cross-platform MingW for Windows, GCC for Linux, C4Droid for Android, XCode for Mac and numerous other OSes have C and C++ compilers....
Although the applications may not be portable.

That's absolutely correct! 5/5

Thanks! If you don't mind Can you just tell me one more thing, Let's say I have an OS that boots in real mode, Is it possible to have TCP/IP and Internet support? Assuming that I have necessary knowledge?

That's a heap of info. Thanks but I still have one doubt, How would I start writing a C library from these ASM functions?

It's basically a print-string function inside a floppy bootloader :)

So do you have any resources that help you with this? Help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks Guys! And I am really surprised what pasztorpisti said "Assembler in BASIC", In fact we considered BASIC to be nothing in those days. We school guys thought it was just a useless programming language. But now I am going to look back at BASIC.

I guess I should first write an interpreter for my OS, then think about a compiler..... Cause I don't think there exists such a compiler or does it?

It's both for ex : got the ELF loader from MikeOS, kernel myself but I borrowed the keyboard driver from GazOS, FAT16 I asked my friend for that, Although you CAN use C to write programs but it's possible only on the development computer.The compiler I use to compile is GCC. Also my programs are loaded at 32768 in the memory. Is that enough? Or more info is required?

I want to compile on the hobby os, it has FAT16 support,ELF Loaders, and supported for Intel x86, Uses GRUB, has 32K memory segment for ring 3 applications, most of it is written is in C and Assembly, has a keyboard driver, is that enough?Sorry if I didn't specify all this. It has 5 system calls that can be used by applications.

I need to get off my PC now, Need to study calculus which is harder than making a Computer Processor :laugh:

Os development is worse than I imagined, Firstly I did a mistake of using GRUB, after getting away with those print functions in C, I realised that I had to write my own Keyboard drivers, mouse drivers and the API's for them.
Then I found out a way to skip all this, boot my OS in real mode, but all in vain I realised that there a are a LOT of restrictions in real mode. So resumed the idea of using GRUB and right now it's in a good state has working FAT16, ELF loaders, ability to store data etc. Thanks! Rated 5/5

To be honest I am coding an Operating System in Assembly, So far it can read and write files, run binary files
that are compiled by NASM, It now has 5 system calls one of them is print_string I am trying to do this because it would be easy for me to build applications. That's the truth. I could write this thing in Assembly but I am trying to do this in a high level language like C#.

So any recommendations to start with?......

Thanks OriginalGriff, But I am not writing a compiler,There are just 5-6 commands that I want to
translate like that, really sorry if I didn't specify that...

Great!!! Thanks Man!

Nobody has a solution to a GNU RELATED PROBLEM?????

Could it be a problem with my MingW Installation???
P.S I have MingW and Cygwin on the Same System... (Could that be a problem??)

So any 3rd Party Library that does that job for me???

Thanks but I'd like to know what does the brackets mean after the declaration like
char name[20];
If I remove the [20] from there, I get a dialog saying :
Game.exe has stopped working.
Thanks for the help again
~Sids123

Thanks for your answer, Can you please tell me which would be the best language to make
an emulator.............

Thanks for your answer!

LOL, Nope I was reading my textbook when I discovered this term called binary saying it used the numbers 0 and 1, a little bit about the Babbage engine, not much, I just want to know how were programs written in those days and the questions above.

I want to use a .cur file not text......

Sorry but your answer didn't satisfy my question, I want my application to open the file not through the openfiledialog but through the Windows Explorer like other applications who open up the editor from the files itself'
.

Great You are awesome. Thanks!

I already searched it but most of them tell me to modify the XML, file but it is not visible in the release version, or the compiled application.

OK got it, I will create the component adder inside my C# application not the code box in compiler. Thanks for helping me.

The only thing I need is the name of the component from which I use to add controls and stuff. Is it Form or Form1 or anything else. I mean the name of the form object. Thanks in advance.....

Remember that my case is different, I am not programming in C#, but on a custom compiler, So commands like this.SuspendLayout,this.Controls.Add are not working which are required to add controls dynamically to windows form

How to do I add controls to this form????

Okay So you are able to
Run your code. So this means that there are no compiler errors. This means that there is something wrong outside the SDK. But I still don't get what's the problem, the app starts, then does it run until you click the file upload button, or it hangs just like that.

Which version of Windows are you using, are you sure your application has privileges to access the internet. Try disabling the Windows firewall. Do you have AVG antivirus, it could be a problem there. Also please specify the message that silverlight shows when the error occurs.

You got it wrong, I wasn't shouting, I was just trying to highlight the important part of the sentence, anyways I changed all that thing to bold instead of upper cases. Thanks for the advice though........

Thanks, for the help....
