msvc c++ build failing to compile about microui HOT 8 OPEN

just wondering if anyone usese windows with msvc c++ here and got this figured out

You probably compiled your project as C++. Look, there's no:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

inside microui.h

Have the same issue, not sure how to fix it...

from microui.

1. initial empty vs2019 project
2. set /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS flag
3. add _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS flag
4. put everything in the root folder of your project, or you may Configure Include Directories to include src and demo folder.
5. use NuGet add SDL2 and nupengl.core (windows already has opengl)
   Or you may add those dependences by hand like: How do I link SDL with Visual Studio 2019 - Stack Overflow
6. change include:
   In main.c: #include <SDL2/SDL.h> => #include "SDL.h"
   In renderer.c:
   • #include <SDL2/SDL.h> => #include "SDL.h";
   • #include <SDL2/SDL_opengl.h> => #include "SDL_opengl.h"
7. add opengl32.lib to Additional Dependencies
8. build and run!

I tried @inkydragon 's suggestion but no luck. I'm not using VS, just invoking the compiler from a developer command prompt.
Any ideas?

Your project is C++, right? Apply this simple patch:

@gvanem I don't have a "project" as I'm not actually using Visual Studio. I invoke the compiler from the command line, and the default behavior with .c extensions is to compile as C. Even if I force C compilation with /Tc or /TC compiler flags, I always get the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined

I also tried with your fix and forcing C++ compilation, in which case I get several C4576 errors.

Problem fixed. I was only compiling main.c and microui.c. I assumed that renderer.c was included in main.c
