No windows.h?

msfmzat · Post by **msfmzat** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 11:06 pm

I try compiling MacroQuest2 again because of the update, using the beta 2005 Visual C++ because thats all I have access to and when I try and compile it the output window says that the include windows.h does not exist. Is there any other method or detailed explanation of what i do to update MQ2 (ie do i even have to recompile it this time around) or anyone explain to me this error? Thanks for the help

beta 2005 Visual C++? What is that?

You are missing the MS Platform SDK, I think, which is no longer free.

Well an update to the 2k5 compiler for those interested. I tried to copy over the headers that were missing from VC6 to 2k5. It's a no go, gave me 788 errors, all resulting in what seems to be syntax changes.

Leave it to Microsoft to change the syntax of C++.
