[C++ Error] Multiple declaration for 'FOLDERSETTINGS'

[xljohn]

Greetings,

I tried to compile a project that was crated using BCB 4 OR 5 in BCB6. This project also uses MapObject 2.1.

The first compiling errors:

[C++ Error] shobjidl.h(2193): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'FOLDERSETTINGS'
[C++ Error] shobjidl.h(8095): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'DESKBANDINFO'
[C++ Error] shlobj.h(1422): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'FVSHOWINFO'
[C++ Error] shlobj.h(3457): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'SHELLFLAGSTATE'

I tried to solve these by rename FOLDERSETTINGS, DESKBANDINFO, FVSHOWINFO, SHELLFLAGSTATE in the two files:

c:\program files\borland\cbuilder6\include\shlobj.h
c:\program files\borland\cbuilder6\include\shobjidl.h

But I think this method may be crude, since usually people will not change library files.

Can anybody give me some smart ways? Thanks.
John

Hi john
I've found the answer to the problem here

you have to globally define the constant NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in your project
