Compiler Errors

Hey there,

If you remember.. I am doing some work with using esenthel's code in a non graphic environment for a content creation tool for our project..

After switching to the latest version of the esenthel engine, I am now getting compiler errors when including windows.h and stdio.h

The errors are coming from the Microsoft SDK file winnt.h

"1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\winnt.h(963) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'this'"

points to this line: template <typename T, size_t N>

Any suggestions?

Thanks

the engine uses 'T' defined as (*this)

do you have all your OS/3rd party lib headers _before_ including the esenthelengine.h header? (like in the documentation about it)

Esenthel Engine by default removes access to standard headers (for example "windows.h"), this benefits in:

faster compile time
clean global namespace
However if you need access to standard headers, you should include them in this way:

Edit your precompiled header file, typically "stdafx.h" to look like this

// Include Standard Headers
#define NOMINMAX
#include <windows.h>

// Include 3rd Party Libraries which use Standard Headers
..

// Include Esenthel Engine
#include <EsenthelEngine/EsenthelEngine.h>

// Include your Custom Headers
..

I'm sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but it doesn't work.
I really have to use windows.h and if I use it as suggested in the documentation and your reply above, I am still getting tons of EE related include problems.

Just a few examples:

Code:

I've just tested it, and stdafx.h of following form compiles successfully

Code:

/******************************************************************************/

#define NOMINMAX

#include <windows.h>

#include <EsenthelEngine/EsenthelEngine.h>

/******************************************************************************/

That test is not really a test because you don't include anything after windows.h. wink

I guess I have to check all the includes inbetween then. There are many, including raknet.

Ok, I think I found the bad boy. All these errors seem to have been caused by these cute lines:

Code:

#ifndef MIN

#define MIN(x,y)  ((x)>(y)?(y):(x))

#endif

#ifndef MAX

#define MAX(x,y)  ((x)>(y)?(x):(y))

#endif
