64-bit-only coming VERY soon

Patrice,
  Thank you. It shows my code is good and that it's a problem with compile/link parameters with g++ .
I have no issues with a gui app just a console. The linker is looking for WinMain.

The more research I do on UNICODE the more of a convoluted mess it becomes

wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, OS X, Linux and UNIX on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures as well as several mobile platforms including Windows Mobile, iPhone SDK and embedded GTK+.

Patrice,
  I have a fork of bcx based on wxWidgets. A real nice library with many useful non-gui items too. They even have their own string class.
I was not able to build the latest version the last time I tried and really don't have much time for it now. Maybe down the road .....

I highly recommend the book: Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets.  It is a bit dated, but still very good book on WxWidgets.

[Brice Manuel]

Yes, that is the one.  It was invaluable in wrapping my head around wxWidgets which I used with BlitzMax for several projects.
