Title: wxWidgets project doesn't compile: cannot open include file 'windows.h'
Post by: testalucida on April 05, 2008, 01:53:09 PM

Hi all,

I can't compile my wxWidgets project (VC8):
I've entered the right path (C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Include) into the compiler search directory but always get this error message. What could be wrong?
I'm using C::B 8.02.

Thanks for any help

Greetings

You're using the Express Edition, right ? Make sure you've also installed the Windows SDK. You can't compile any program based on Windows API if you haven't done it.

Refer to Microsoft' site for more details.

Hum, sorry, the path you showed should imply that you installed a SDK. MAke sure the SDK is correct, then...

Please, make sure you have a windows.h in this path.

And show us the file that doesn't compile (at least the headers).

ok, it's done.
The include path was missing for the resource compiler - so you have to enter this path twice: for the compiler and for the resource compiler.
thanks to Alexis & bye
