I was wondering if anyone here has coded Microsoft Agents before? (www.microsoft.com/msagent). I'm trying to code up one using c++ but i can't even get the sample code to run - i downloaded the header and include files and put them into the include folder. All i get is errors - 74 of them :
d:\Dev-Cpp\include\AgtSvr_i.c conflicting types for `typedef struct _IID
The rest say about the same thing - conflicting types etc.
Can anyone help?
ok thanks for that that seemed to work well - now i'm just getting one error -
In file included from d:\agent\hello.cpp:24:
d:\agent\AgtSvr.h:286: ocidl.h: No such file or directory
now i'm guessing that it can find agtsvr.h but i had a look @ that file on line 286 and it is trying to call this ocidl.h file but can't find it. There wasn't this file in the downloads when i downloaded the example - is it supposed to be part of the library or something?
As you no doubt can tell - i'm rather new to the world of c++, however i have a couple years java exp.
Thank you again for your help.
From a quick Google search, it looks like ocidl.h is a WinAPI include. Check and see if it's in your Dev-Cpp/includes directory.

Ok i just had a look in dev-c++/include folder and sure enough ocidl.h was nowhere to be found. Just to be thorough I did a search on my hardrive for the file - and it didn't find it anywhere.
Do i need to download this file? If so where could i get it from? I have already searched the web but haven't found anywhere that i could download this program from.
What version of Dev-C++ are you using?

You can get it from mingw cvs. But you would probably be better upgrading your dev-cpp to a version that comes with that header file, as XSquared has implied.
Alternatively, if you want to keep your current version of dev-cpp then you could just update your win32api files (headers and libs) here:

('Current' section, 'Windows api' : 'w32api-2.3.tar.gz' ).
