C++ winmm library problem cant play sound
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 4:50 pm
Hi everyone,
I am new to C++ and I am struggling to get CodeLite to compile and play a sound in my program I am using these libraries: -
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <Mmsystem.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")
Trying to execute the below in my main function: -
PlaySound(TEXT("winner.wav"), NULL, SND_SYNC);
I get this error in the compiler: -
Code: Select all

==== build ended with errors (1 errors, 1 warnings) ===I have spent over 2 hours researching on line people mentioning adding the winmm.lib to the compiler setting and tried everything nothing works and its driving me nuts lol. Something so simple but I cant get it working in CodeLite anyone else had this issue and able to help me? Thanks In Advance
Kind regards,
Jon
