Question

I am trying to compile the Scintilla control with MSVC++ 2010 Express Edition, and it’s quite painful getting it to work right because I need a bunch of files. When compiling SString.h, I noticed this:

#include <crtdll/stddef.h>

I am no C++ programmer, but I do understand what

#include <xxx.h> 

means, but what does the the that include mean? I get the following error with it:

Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘crtdll/stddef.h’: No such file or directory f\scintilla\lexers\sstring.h 44

Any help on how I could fix it would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If I am not mistaken, that is just a relative path. In other words, Visual Studio will look for stddef.h in the crtdll subdirectory of, probably, the root directory of the project.
