Getting this error building a C++ project in VS2008. Very confused what it means, why does it think WIN32 is a file?
Go to Project–>Properties—>C/C++–>Command line. You most probably have a
/I""before your/D "WIN32". For some reason an empty include directive causes the /D to evaporate hence your error.Go to Project–>Properties–>C/C++–>General–>Additional include directories and make sure there are no redundant chars there.
It can for example arise when the last include directory is a reference to an environement variable that doesn’t exist.
