Problem Building Sample Applications [message #13786]

Hi,
I have just downloaded Ultimate++ and tried to build one of the samples (HelloWorld) as a test.

I had no success instead recieved loads of errors (>100). A couple of which are below:

C:\WATCOM\H\NT\objidl.h(1074) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PRPC_MESSAGE'
C:\WATCOM\H\NT\objidl.h(1076) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PRPC_MESSAGE'
C:\WATCOM\H\NT\objidl.h(1076) : fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation

There seems to be references to the path C:\WATCOM\ which is used by OpenWatcom which I also have installed.

This doesn't cause a problem for MinGW when installed on its owm.

I downloaded Ultimate++ with MinGW and configured it to use its onw version of MinGW.

Therefore why is it producing errors and apparently referencing OpenWatcom?

I can't find any settings to stop this???

Thanks.

Setup / Build methods

The U++ should be configured well automatically after installation (the mingw version at least), but you may check it in the build methods setup.

Didn't you install Ultimate++ into some directory with space in name? I think there were problems with such installation long ago. (almost everybody here does use [drive:]\upp which works well)

Seems Watcom use H folder for include files. Check TheIde configuration to see if there is no reference to that path.
Or if you have used Watcom compiler to build examples, set in Build Methods.. MinGW as default. However, why do you use Watcom Complier? It is not good at all, and miss more languages features. I know it from when i used it on Windows, now on Linux gcc(g++) is the best. So using MinGW is the best (second) choice. First one is M$ Compiler, which is optimized for exe format only. The MinGW comes with Upp or you can download latest version from it site and also MS give a free version of his compiler, so you can use booth.
