[M3devel] More on threading

[Coleburn, Randy]

Jay:

For Windows 2000 SP4, using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition:

1.  I tried building the MachineID.c program in the first example link, but it runs into an unresolved symbol at link time.

cl MachineID.c
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.762 for 80x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
MachineID.c
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 8.00.50727.762
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
/out:MachineID.exe
MachineID.obj
LIBCMT.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
MachineID.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

2.  I was able to build the program in the 2nd link.  Here is the output from running this program:

It should work.

Mika, what made you think cm3 doesn't work on Windows 2000??
I don't think anything has been remotely suggested.

Jay, since I have a Windows2000 system, I can test the MAC address discovery (or anything else you need).  Just let me know.

Agreed -- I don't know of any reason Windows 2000 wouldn't work.
Or possibly even older. The main "upgrade driving" factor is what the C toolset/runtime supports.
And I've tested building with quite old C toolsets.
Hm. Maybe the new-ish MAC address discovery code doesn't work on older systems? That could be.
I could make that use GetProcAddress and fallback to the older code.
That is an area with the historical code seemed too non-ideal to stick with, and clearer
more direct code might depend on newer systems.
