Directx - C++ - Error.

Hey, i just downloaded Directx sdk and im ready to work on it.

But, im not sure either i got a compiler error because of the include path, or it's actually an error with the file.

Code:

 
winnt.h(7818) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int.

That's the error, hmmm? not sure what the problem is. I'm using Visual studio professional edition 2008 by the way. Thank you and i hope i get an answer.

So what is on line 7818 +/- 5 lines in Winnt.h?

Code:

 
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\winnt.h(236) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'PVOID64'
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\winnt.h(236) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\winnt.h(7818) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'Buffer'
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\winnt.h(7818) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\winnt.h(7818) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

This is the full error code. i didn't even started to program. while i include windows.h..this happens.


It say before PVOID64

Code:

 
#define DECLSPEC_DEPRECATED_DDK
#define PRAGMA_DEPRECATED_DDK 0
#endif
//
// Void
//
typedef void *PVOID;
typedef void * POINTER_64 PVOID64;

This actually started when i got the directx sdk.

Sounds like you are in MSVC 6. We used to have a sticky about using MSVC 6 with new DX SDKs but since the topic is so old I believe we removed it.

You are missing a header that defines LPVOID64 but I forget what the header name is. You can search the board for a similar error b/c we discussed it in great length some time ago.

EDIT:

Actuall we didn't remove the sticky. It's at the top of the game programming forum.
Please STICKY this- vital to MSVC 6 dev - BASETSD.h

You are missing BASESTD.h which no longer comes with any of the SDK's. Just copy it from the post and include it in your project and you should be fine.

I'm using visual studio 2008.

Everytime i include windows.h..it gives me int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int error.

Nevermind, found out why. i downloaded the old version of directxSdk...wow what a jerk :O. Thanks anyway for the people who tryed to help me.
