Problems with graphics.h and winbgim.h; redefinition of 'int right'

(1/4) > >>

WhoAmI:
Hello!

I am trying to do some simple graphic programs. But I can't build my project because I always get this error message:
--- Code: ---c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\graphics.h|302|error: redefinition of 'int right'|
c:\program files\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.1\..\..\..\..\include\graphics.h|302|error: 'int right' previously declared here|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===|
--- End code ---
.
The same error occurs in winbgim.h. I am not sure if I posted this topic to the right forum, but anyway I don't know if is it really library problem or incorrect settings of my IDE.

I have downloaded files mentioned in subject from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?hokmzgomtje and did everything according to these instructions http://gagsays.wordpress.com/2010/04/27/bgi-graphics-for-windows-on-request/. I also tried download from here http://codecutter.org/tools/winbgim/, but the situation repeated.

Did anybody have the same problem? And does anybody haveany idea how to fix it?

I am using Code::Blocks 10.05 IDE, Windows XP Service pack 2.

Turn on Full Compiler Logging and post in a forum that supports your compiler or library.
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F

This site supports neither.

Note: The Codeblocks-EP in this thread has the winbgim in it.
You might wish to try it. I have not tried it.

WhoAmI,

The error message is caused by multiple compilations of graphics.h because you are using a poorly built version of WinBGIm without the standard protection in the headers.

You can protect winbgim.h and graphics.h by surrounding all the code with:
#ifndef WINBGI_H
#define WINBGI_H

.... The existing header code

#endif

OR (better suggestion):
Either
1- install CodeBlocks-EP and use the inbuilt WinBGIm (create a winbgim project in Codeblocks-EP).
or
2- download the correct library from http://winbgim.codecutter.org and install the correct library instead of yours.

- 1 is safer, WinBGIm works very well in Codeblocks-EP. The WinBGIm project will link the correct libraries, you get WinBGIm help in the help menus, etc...
- 2 will probably also work unless you use a very different version of MinGW.

WhoAmI:
Thank you for help. Although I have tried all your advices, none of them did work. I am really confused of it. Maybe I should look for some other libraries. Do you have any tip for simple 2D graphic?

Anyway, I thank you very much for your effort to help.
