CodeLit 5.1 Using Unicode for Sourcecode

[Casisto]

Hello there,

I have troubles to Compile my Sourcecode (with VC++ ist works).

I get the Error:

error: cannot convert 'char*' to 'LPCWSTR {aka const wchar_t*}' for argument '1' to 'void* CreateFileW(LPCWSTR, DWORD, DWORD, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, DWORD, DWORD, HANDLE)'

At VC++ I had can fix this when i set:
"Project>Properties>Configurations>All Configuration>Configuration Properties>General>Character Set"
to:
"Use Multi-Byte Character Set"

How can i do this at CodeLite?
I dont found a answer at this forum, by searching with google and by searching in CodeLite for Myself.
I`m using CodeLite 5.1; Installed CodeLite with the Installer at Windows 8.1 and i`m using the g++ Compiler.

Thanks for your help

This problem is not related to codelite.
You are trying to convert char* to LPCWSTR (which is of type wchar_t*)

You should change your code to something like this:

Code: Select all

CreateFile("myfile.txt",...)

to

Code: Select all

CreateFile(L"myfile.txt",...)

Google it up...

Hi eranif,

I know this solution, but I hope I can have the other solution like in VC++ or Geany...
At least, the programm should be OS-independently.

Is it impossible to set the "Character Set" in CodeLite to Unicode? I have try (after UTF-8 is default) ISO-8859_1, but the error ist still there...

And a other Problem i will have with ASCII, I want to use regional Characters like "Ä" or "ß".

This is not an editor issue... but rather a code issue.
I am guessing that what VC does it undefines the '_UNICODE' from the build or something like that
so you are actually calling:
CreateFileA and _not_ CreateFileW

At least, the programm should be OS-independently.

? L"" is standard C++ its not OS specific...

You can do this with L"" (did not try this, but it should be doable)
