problem launching my program using an icon

[Sparticle]

My program wont launch when I create an associated .info file.
The icon type is a tool but still wont run.

Do I need to add some special code for it to run from WB with an icon, or is there some option in the compiler I need to use?

I'm using Hisoft c/c++ compiler.

Thanks.

I assume the appropriate flags are set (Read, Write, Execute and Deletable - you really only need the Exexcute flag to be set, but it's good to have all 4) in the info file?

You probably have to define a seperate entry point for running from Workbench.

I don't know Hisoft, but Dice C for example calls main() only from CLI and wbmain() from Workbench.

To remain compatible with other compilers I usually do something like this:

void wbmain (struct WBStartup *wbmsg)
{
main (0,(char **)wbmsg);
}

Everything else is done in main(), depending on whether argc is 0 (Workbench) or > 0 (CLI).

The Flags were set. It turned out to be not including the "wbstartup.h" header file in my project.

It was because I didn't include the "wbstartup.h" header

Hisoft Doesn't seem to have seperate entry points. Ive looked at some of the examples provided in Hisoft but couldn't find anything.

Thanks.
