I start learn the use of emWin and download Board Support Packages (BSPs) emWin 5.22 BSP

Since I have no hardware, I wanted to use the simulator in Visual Studio 2010

I can load the Solution File without problems, but when I try to rebuild the Project I get an Link error

1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: Simulation, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========


In LPCXpresso I can build the project without problems.
Do somebody know whats going wrong?

Which version of emwin did you download, and where did you download it from?

Thanks for your reply, but sorry I don't understand I for what else the simulator is used then

In UM03001 Cap. 3 is written:

The PC simulation of emWin allows you to compile the same C source on your Windows
PC using a native (typically Microsoft) compiler and create an executable for
your own application. Doing so allows the following:
- Design of the user interface on your PC (no hardware required!).
- Debugging of the user interface program.
- Creation of demos of your application, which can be used to discuss the user
interface.

The resulting executable can be sent easily via e-mail.

the emWin library is built for Cortex-M devices, but you are trying to link it with Windows (x86) binaries.

AFAIK, it is not possible to simulate with emWin on Windows.

You need to buy a board - including a display, you can get the for less than $50, depending on which chip you want to use.
