I’m trying to compile new version of profuisdll but I have some errors:

In "build view" I see

ExtCmdManager.cpp
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\transact.h(226) : error C2059: syntax error : ’constant’
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\transact.h(271) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ’;’ before ’}’
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\oledb.h(17149) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ’;’ before ’}’
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\oledb.h(17149) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ’;’ before ’}’
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\oledb.h(17149) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ’;’ before ’}’

I’m using VC6 + latest platform sdk

What’s wrong?

Thanks for the answer

 

 

We would like to show you a sample from real life. We installed both Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 to our drive C:. Some of the exported functions of the Win32 API and Platform SDK are declared differently in older and newer SDK specifications. For example, the VarCmp() API, which is part of OLE automation, is defined in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\oleauto.h" file of Visual Studio 6.0 as follows:

STDAPI VarCmp(LPVARIANT pvarLeft, LPVARIANT pvarRight, LCID lcid);

This API is defined in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\OleAuto.h" file of Visual Studio .NET 2003 (and any latest Platform SDK) as follows:

STDAPI VarCmp(LPVARIANT pvarLeft, LPVARIANT pvarRight, LCID lcid, ULONG dwFlags);

This example explains the source of the compilation problems. We strongly recommend you not use the latest Platform SDK with Visual Studio 6.0. It is oriented to latter versions of Visual Studio.

I use VC6 (sp6) + latest PSDK from many month and I never had problems, I’ve also compiled profuisdll 2.42.

If you see the following row you will see the include files are not in the PSDK directory but in std VC directory

ExtCmdManager.cpp
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\transact.h(226) : error C2059: syntax error : ’constant’
C:\Develop\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\transact.h(271) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ’;’ before ’}’

I’ve configured VC order include directory, to process include PSDK directory as last, and std VC include directory as first.

 

 

What do you think about connecting to your machine remotely and trying to fix the problem dealt with this particular situation? If you do not mind, just drop us an e-mail so that we can tell you how to set up a web conference.

I don’t kwon how, but now I’ve fixed the problem.

I made the following step:

1) I’ve reinstalled version 2.40, compiled ok;

2) I ’ve updated to 2.43, compiling error;

3) I’ve compared the differencies between ExtCmdManager.h (2.40 -> 2.43) and I have commented all new lines with #define __EXT_MFC_LANG_ID_(NEW LANGUAGES). 2.43 compiled ok;

4) I’ve uncommented the same lines; compiled ok;

5) I ’ve deinstalled all and I’ve installed WinXP pro ITA (sp2), VC6 ENG(sp6), latest PSDK, 2.43, compiling error;

6) I reexecutethe step 3 again, now working fine;

I don’t knok why ...
