sql server (alternate): I am trying to compile the sample program genwin.sqc, using nsqlprep
which is used to precompile embedded sql in C. I am getting weird
errors and that is because windows.h is included in the genwin.sqc
file. I am using

Setting the lib and include path:

set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\DevTools\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\DevTools\Samples\esqlc;%include%
set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\DevTools\lib;%lib%


Precompiling:

nsqlprep genwin /NOACCESS

As soon as i remove windows.h, the errors disappear. It seems nsqlprep
doesnt like windows.h. How do i get over this.
Would really appreciate if u can help me out.

versions:
OS: windows 2000 server service pack 2
VC++: version 6.0
SQLserver 2000: 8.00.194, RTM, Standard edition

Thank you

Since windows.h is not in any of the directories above, you must have it
somewhere else.

I have also had problems with getting funny errors with various include
files for a DB-Library module that I have. Since I am not really a C
programmer, I just moved the include files around, until I had things
working.

As I recall, when I started to use VC7, I got into new problems. So, if
you are using VS .Net, but also have VC6 available, try using VC6 instead.
