I've just discovered that the MMSYSTEM unit for Win32 is missing at least one of the function call prototypes... MCIWndCreate(...) is just plain not there.
Anyone know where I can get a fixed copy?
There is no such "fixed copy" of MMSystem unit. MMSystem unit is a translation of mmsystem.h C header and functions MCIWnd* are in vfw.h (BTW, this is true for Delphi as well). So you need a different unit. As far as I know there is no such unit in FPC packeges.
Here are the complete instructions on how you can obtain the unit that you want:
Searching with google I found this archive
http://www.torry.net/vcl/mmedia/video/vfw.zip
(linked from page http://www.torry.net/video.htm). It contains unit Vfw.pas and this is what you need. BUT this unit is for Delphi 2/3/4 and you have to modify it (a little) to compile this with FPC.
1) Remove two units from "uses" clause changing
Messages,
CommDlg,
to
{$ifndef FPC}
Messages,
CommDlg,
{$endif}
Those two units are not needed under FPC (their stuff is in Windows unit) and both of them are even not available under FPC 1.0.x. (I don't think CommDlg is available even in 1.1).
2) You need to add
type POPENFILENAMEA = POPENFILENAME;
and take declarations of two functions (GetOpenFileNamePreviewW and GetSaveFileNamePreviewW) in interface (and their export-clauses in implementation) in similiar {$ifndef FPC} ... {$endif} brackets.
(it's not the most elegant way to do that, you should check is UNICODE symbol defined etc.; but doing as I said you will also get what you most probably want)
And that's all - you have a unit Vfw.pas that can be compiled with FPC 1.0.10. Warning - I only compiled this unit under FPC 1.0.10, I did not tested it (basically, I know nothing about functions in this unit, I was simply able to adjust Delphi unit to FPC) ! So I don't guarentee it works as it should. But probably it does, it's just a simple export unit. And it containd MCIWnd* functions that you wanted.
