hi,
kindly try to elaborate more on the problem like show us the code where you got stuck. The error messages are pretty precise:
"... cannot convert argument 1 from 'const char [24]' to 'const TCHAR * .. "
the type conversions have failed.The called API expects an argument of a different type but its being called with a different type and implicit conversion is not allowed for this scenario and the API does not have any overload which accepts the type of argument its being provided.

Maybe you can search in the code where 'VidSSetQuarkConnectStatus' is called correctly and take hint from there.

read this page:
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/wiki2/Unicode%20apps/
The error is
cannot convert argument 1 from 'const char [24]' to 'const TCHAR *'
What is your TCHAR? is wchar_t or char? Probably wchar_t.
It seems that you have enabled unicode or you are calling function that demands unicode value.
Try this VidSSetQuarkConnectStatus(L"So called Unicode"); and see what happens..

All these errors are caused by one and the same issue: you are passing arguments of the wrong type to the indicated function, and every time one type is some variant of char* whereas the other type is some multibyte or wide character string.

It is unclear why you get so many different errors that are all efffectively the same - maybe you tried to recreate a project based only on the source files, without knowing the project settings? If so, check the project properties and change the property 'Character Set' to 'Not set'.

Otherwise I don't see any other way but fixing every error individually by changing the appropriate variable type or function call to the appropriate char types and function variants (for each string function there are variants for multibyte and single byte strings). The cleanest way would be to always use the type TCHAR instead of char, and use the string function variants that expect the TCHAR types (TCHAR*, LPCTSTR, etc.). There's more info on character sets on MSDN and elsewhere in the web.

Solution 2

You are passing char * where a TCHAR * is expected. You are probably compiling with the option 'Use UNICODE character set' a project written for using multi-byte one.
