VS 2008 build problem

Windows
1

Hi folks!

I’ve been having “fun” trying to build my code for Windows, using VS 2008.
I’ve got the Windows SDK 7.1 installed, and configured to be the SDK.

However, I get build errors with just 2 of the Juce files, which seem to be as though the system is picking-up the wrong Windows headers.

pngrutil.c

...
1>...\modules\juce_graphics\image_formats\pnglib/pngrutil.c(459) : error C2065: 'Byte' : undeclared identifier
... etc.

juce_win32_Windowing.cpp

...
1>...\modules\juce_gui_basics\native/juce_win32_Windowing.cpp(599) : error C2065: 'WINDOWINFO' : undeclared identifier
... etc.

Has anybody got any suggestions on what to do to fix this? I’m stumped!!

Best wishes,

Pete

All now sorted - my (rather old!) project was built with WINVER=0x0400 … it should have been with WINVER=0x0500 …!

Best to all,

Hi Jules!

Just to follow-up on this; I have had to modify pngrutil.c to define Byte as unsigned char, for my Windows builds to complete.

I’m using VS2008 - do you need any more info?! :slight_smile:

Best wishes,

I don’t think I have VC2008 installed anywhere to try it nowadays… If you can let me know what you had to change, that’d be helpful!

Hi Jules,

It is a really simple fix - simply change the 3 or 4 references in that file to “Byte” to “unsigned char”. Sorted! :slight_smile:

Best wishes,
