error: could not compile hello-winsafe due to previous error

F:\dev\rust\hello-winsafe>

from winsafe.

gui apps made with winsafe don't run on windows 7.

by the way, I love this library, the best one I used. thank you for this :)

from winsafe.

I installed the x32 toolchain on my development machine and I was able to reproduce the linker errors. I pushed a few commits fixing them, and it's working for me now.

I'm closing the issue, but let me know if it's working for you.

from winsafe.

Hi @rodrigocfd
my small WinSafe projects now compile beautifully without any warnings or errors, thank you so much for fixing it.

there's only one tiny little bit of problem, the compiled apps run well in win7 x64 but they don't work on win7 x86.
I don't know what the problem is, both win7 VMs (x64 and x86) have the same kind of updates installed on them. and both are missing the Platform Update for Windows 7 which I assume is not a requirement for the GUI part of WinSafe since Win32 GUI is an ancient tech.

running GUI apps in x86 is important for me because my little tools need to run on 30+ Win7 x86 machines at work.

if that is not possible to fix I can understand that. Thank you so much @rodrigocfd I love your work.

from winsafe.

Try to run the simplest possible program:

fn main() {
	use winsafe::{self as w, co};
	use w::prelude::*;

	w::HWND::NULL.MessageBox("All good.", "Hello", co::MB::ICONINFORMATION).unwrap();
}

Then two situations may happen:

1. The program runs. It probably means that, in you actual program, you're calling an API which is not available in Win7, and it somehow blocks your program from running. Then you'd have to find which API is it, and there's no easy way, you'd have to test one by one.

2. The program doesn't run. It probably means the toolchain is generating an incompatible executable. You'd have to use the Rust toolchain with a compatible compiler, which is something I have no idea how to do. You'd have to ask in the Rust forum.

Anyway it's nothing an easy problem to fix. No one wants to support Win7 anymore.

from winsafe.

Hi @rodrigocfd

Is this related to unsupported API?

Link to line

OS: Win7 x86

from winsafe.

Yep, SetUserObjectInformation is throwing an error for some reason.

This call is being used for additional safety on SetTimer calls. If you're not doing anything crazy with SetTimer (like capturing native exceptions), it's not really needed. Try removing it and see if your program runs.

from winsafe.

Thanks @rodrigocfd
FYI it's just straight dialog box with a button and edit text in it, no fancy API calls or anything, just GUI code doesn't run. MessageBox alone works though, but simple dialog box with controls doesn't run.
Win11 x64 -> works
Win7 x86 -> doesn't work
