Question

Well my problem is pretty simple, i got the following includes:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "my_global.h"
#include "mysql.h"
#include "ServerManager.h"
#include "GamePlay.h"

#pragma comment(lib, "libmysql.lib")

And i get the WARNING (which is pretty annoying):

1>c:\program files\mysql\connector c 6.0.2\include\config-win.h(24): warning C4005: '_WIN32_WINNT' : macro redefinition
1>          c:\program files\windows kits\8.0\include\shared\sdkddkver.h(195) : see previous definition of '_WIN32_WINNT'

So i check stdafx includes targetver.h where _WIN32_WINNT is defined, and my_global.h includes also _WIN32_WINNT, what can i do about this?

This is exactly the conflicting part of my_global.h file wich is part of the MySQL C library:

#define BIG_TABLES

/*

*/
#define _WIN32_WINNT     0x0500

I am kind of new regarding those including problems, thanks !

Answer 1

I would suggest the following modification of my_global.h, replace

/* 
  Minimal version of Windows we should be able to run on.
  Currently Windows 2000
*/
#define _WIN32_WINNT     0x0500

with

/* 
  Minimal version of Windows we should be able to run on.
  Currently Windows 2000
*/
#if defined(_WIN32_WINNT) && _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0500
#error "MySQL requires Windows 2000 or later"
#elif !defined(_WIN32_WINNT)
#define _WIN32_WINNT     0x0500
#endif

Maybe I’m missing something but really quite poor on the part of MySQL I think.
