Could it be that wcc386 is not in your PATH?

Changed from watcom to MinGW

compiled using this command: euc -gcc -lflags "-mwindows c:\euphoria\bin\eu.a -mu3" -lib C:\euphoria\bin\eu.a c:\Euphoria\<prog name>

Compiled just fine.

I've had a lot of issues with MinGW lately. Try switching to TDM-GCC instead.

This happens, unfortunately. You can use UPX to compress your exectuables.

An additional note on this: The shrouder [and binder] will remove any routines and variables that your program doesn't use. The translator, conversely, will not remove any unused routines. So if you are translating with a large library (e.g. Win32Lib) then you will see a much larger executable.

If you use the -nobuild and -makefile options, you can edit your make file and change the -O2 (Full optimization) option to -Os (Optimize space usage) on the CFLAGS line. Using this option, you can probably save about 5-10%, which will carry through to the UPX-compressed executable as well.

CFLAGS = -DEWINDOWS -fomit-frame-pointer -c -w -fsigned-char -Os -m32 -IC:/Euphoria -ffast-math 

Also, when compiling with MinGW or TDM-GCC, you may notice a console window show up on compiled Windows apps. You can add the -mwindows option to your LFLAGS line to avoid this.

LFLAGS = C:/Euphoria/bin/eu.a -m32 -mwindows

I wonder if this is a Common Controls version problem. The euiw exectuable is compiled with a "manifest" file that sets the Common Controls version to 6.0, and without this, your compiled application uses the older versions. This is what makes tabs and other controls look "old" like Windows 9x. You can easily inject a manifest to your executable during the call to euc.

Save this as file.exe.manifest (matching your exectuable file name). Make sure to update the fields as necessary.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> 
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> 
    <assemblyIdentity 
        processorArchitecture="x86" 
        version="5.1.0.0" 
        type="win32" 
        name="foo.exe"/> 
    <description>Foo program</description> 
    <dependency> 
    <dependentAssembly> 
    <assemblyIdentity 
        type="win32" 
        name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" 
        version="6.0.0.0" 
        publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" 
        language="*" 
        processorArchitecture="x86"/> 
    </dependentAssembly> 
    </dependency> 
</assembly> 

Save this as file.rc (again, update to match your actual file name).

1 24 "file.exe.manifest" 

And then add -rc-file=file.rc in your call to euc.

Interesting. I couldn't find anything supporting that in the translator documentation. Conversely, the the binder documentation does specifically state this.

My misunderstanding was also supported by the translator not outputting the phrase "deleted [n] unused routines..."

Translator

C:\Euphoria\Downloads\wee>euc -nobuild -makefile WEE.EXW 
Translating code, pass: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11  generating 
 
38.c files were created. 
To build your project, type make -f WEE.mak 

Binder

C:\Euphoria\Downloads\wee>eubind WEE.EXW 
deleted 405 unused routines and 3037 unused variables. 
You may now run C:\Euphoria\Downloads\wee\WEE.exe 

I am probably not the only one who was mistaken. Maybe we need to update the documentation?
