SYMBOL_ALREADY_DEFINED - !EXTRN _PB_Screen_Depth

[nco2k]

any chance to fix this?

Code: Select all

Procedure Depth()
  !EXTRN _PB_Screen_Depth
  !MOV eax, [_PB_Screen_Depth]
  ProcedureReturn
EndProcedure

Procedure Screen()
  OpenScreen(640, 480, 16, "")
EndProcedure

have you tried this?

Code: Select all

Import ""
_PB_Screen_Depth
EndImport

Import works for variables too (and TB should be able to handle it)

[nco2k]

same error.

this code works (and is easier to port to x64 as there's no need for change [unsure if this symbol has the same name in x64]):

Code: Select all

Import ""
PB_Screen_Depth
EndImport

Procedure Depth()
  ProcedureReturn PB_Screen_Depth
EndProcedure

Procedure Screen()
  OpenScreen(640, 480, 16, "")
EndProcedure

Though I will take a look into the extrn issue; but if you prefer the ASM way, just comment out the !extrn line; TB can figure out that its an external symbol by itself.

thanks, i always forget that _ is only the decoration.
