    <p>I have a main function, but when tcc goes to link everything together, it says its undefined. Why is this?</p> <p>I'm using a python build script, and arguments are passed as lists:</p> <pre><code>['v:/exe/tcc/tcc.exe', '-odist/***.exe', '-Llib/', '-llua5.1', '-lsoil', '-lSDL', '-lopengl32', 'build/luainterface\\msL.o', 'build/luainterface\\vector.o', 'build/rendering\\renderutil.o', 'build/structures\\crtree.o', 'build/structures\\uniqueid.o', 'build/structures\\vector.o', 'build/world\\blocklib.o', 'build/world\\chunk.o', 'build/world\\world.o', 'build/main.o'] </code></pre> <p>The output is simply:</p> <pre><code>tcc: undefined symbol 'main' </code></pre> <p>My main function is defined in the file main.c (and doesn't have a header), with a couple of static functions. Main function:</p> <pre><code>int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { SDL_Surface* screen = render_initialize(1024,768); lua_State* L = luaL_newstate(); //lua_atpanic(L,&amp;Lpanic); msL_registerState(L); msL_openAllLibs(L); int fail = luaL_dofile(L,"lua/main.luac"); if(fail) { fprintf(stderr, "Lua error: %s\n", lua_tostring(L,-1)); doexit(1); } lua_getfield(L,LUA_GLOBALSINDEX,"draw"); if(!lua_isfunction(L,-1)) { lua_pop(L,1); fprintf(stderr, "No draw function defined in global scope\n"); doexit(1); } lua_setfield(L,LUA_REGISTRYINDEX,"msL_drawfunction"); while(1) { lua_getfield(L,LUA_REGISTRYINDEX,"msL_drawfunction"); assert(lua_isfunction(L,-1)); int err = lua_pcall(L,0,0,0); if(err) { fprintf(stderr,"Lua error: "); switch(err) { case LUA_ERRRUN: fprintf(stderr,"%s",lua_tostring(L,-1)); break; case LUA_ERRMEM: fprintf(stderr,"out of memory"); break; default: fprintf(stderr,"unknown error"); } fprintf(stderr,"\n"); doexit(1); } render_flipbuffers(screen); } doexit(0); } </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I ran the code through tcc with preprocessing only. Apparently the main function is being renamed to SDL_main, through some macro in SDL.</p>

    1. COPlease see http://sscce.org/ for advice on asking a better question. You should ditch python for now and make a very simple shell script that compiles and links your program so we can see exactly what arguments were passed to tcc. You neglected to show us the arguments to tcc used to compile main.o. Your main.c MUST be incomplete, because the compiler probably will not recognize the "SDL_Surface" type unless you include the proper header file. You should simplify your code as much as possible.

    2. CO@DavidGrayson I can add the compile options if you want... I didn't paste the whole main file, including the #include's (as I said, the code compiles).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
