I try using DirectX template from C::B , but C::B not find "strsafe.h".

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=strsafe.h

...reveals in the first link:
"Strsafe.h is available in the Windows SDK starting with Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)."

Yes I've found .

You should also note that Windows SDK[8] shall be installed in order to compile Windows app.

I download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e6e1c3df-a74f-4207-8586-711ebe331cdc&DisplayLang=en
But I got this error :

I think C::B not see the compiler from Microsoft SDK ... and this is from Visual Studio
How i set it ?

Set default compiler to the correct Compiler; not MinGW GCC if you wish to use MS Visual Studio!
Re-do the project from template using the correct Compile; do NOT pick MinGW GCC if you wish to use MS Visual Studio!

I try use Compiler from MS SDK , not  MS Visual Studio.
But C::B not see MS SDK compiler, if it is on \Bin.
My path is something like this :

Code Select Expand

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin
Maybe correct way is to install MS SDK and next install C::B.
I think is more easy if C::B come with some default settings for each compiler.
Maybe some tutorials is need to understand how is corect way to set up C::B.
Is good to be fully custom , but become dizzy with new users like me.
Thank you .
Regards.

I  solve the problem with add "#include <cstddef>" and remove "strsafe.h"
I  set SDK 2008 and Windows SDK v6.0.
I  set on Toolchain "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW" (seam Auto-detect want this path) .
On tabs "Program Files" and "aditional.." from toolchain is set correct "mingw32-g++.exe" path .
Now i got this error :

Code Select Expand

mingw32-g++.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 4 seconds)
0 errors, 2 warnings

...and C::B not make the exe file.
What is wrong ?
Thank you . Regards.

The message you got normally means an improper MinGW GCC Installation.
It could be an improper CB Configuration of the Compiler.

NOTE: You CAN NOT use MinGW GCC with MS SDK and have it Work!!
