wxWidgets project doesn't compile: cannot open include file 'windows.h'

(1/2) > >>

testalucida:
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

Alexis:
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.

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

testalucida:
the path is definitely right  :(

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

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