How to link winreg.h to winejoystick.drv during compilation
I'm trying to add the ability to read registry keys to winejoystick.drv using functions like RegQueryValueExA, RegOpenKeyA, and RegCloseKey. However, I am getting linker errors where they are showing up as undefined symbols. The changed files are attached. The functions get_app_key, get_config_key, and device_disabled_registry are copied from various files in dinput and I assumed I needed to import advapi32 in the makefile.in since that's what type the aforementioned registry functions are, but I'm obviously misunderstanding how this works. Any help appreciated! Thanks, David

Yes, importing advapi32 should be correct. What exact commandlines are generated and what are the errors? Ciao, Marcus
Huh ... this is embarrassing, although pleasantly so: it just compiled and linked - I don't know why, I don't think I made any changes - but it works now. I will investigate a little bit further to see if the why is interesting and report what I might've done if so ... probably something stupid :) On Sat, Aug 27, 2016 at 2:22 AM, Marcus Meissner <meissner(a)suse.de> wrote:

Ah, that would explain it ... On Sunday, August 28, 2016, Stefan Dösinger <stefandoesinger(a)gmail.com> wrote:
