cud anyone plz helps me in compiling them

thnx a lot

Could be because you are not including windows.h before any other include file.

I have something similar atm, but i only get these errors.

c:\dxsdk\include\dsound.h(305) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'dwReserved1'
c:\dxsdk\include\dsound.h(305) : error C2501: 'DWORD_PTR' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\dxsdk\include\dsound.h(305) : error C2501: 'dwReserved1' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\dxsdk\include\dsound.h(306) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'dwReserved2'
c:\dxsdk\include\dsound.h(306) : error C2501: 'DWORD_PTR' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\dxsdk\include\dsound.h(306) : error C2501: 'dwReserved2' : missing storage-class or type specifiers


I have tried including windows.h before any others and changing orders of header include files. :S

Make sure you are not forgetting to put a ';' after any class or function declaration. Make sur eyou are not defining DWORD anywhere, becayse that's what those statements teh errors refer to use.

From MSDN:

DWORD_PTR
Unsigned long type for pointer precision. Use when casting a pointer to a long type to perform pointer arithmetic. (Also commonly used for general 32-bit parameters that have been extended to 64 bits in 64-bit Windows. )

This type is declared in BaseTsd.h as follows:

typedef ULONG_PTR DWORD_PTR;

I have checked the ';'s and havent defined DWORD anywhere, the error messages are referring to dsound.h.

Windows.h and basetsd.h are included before dsound.h and it still has errors.

Please help

The newest version of DirectX doesn't get along well with VC6. Here is a workaround:

For the love of god was posting all of that necessary? And why are you still using VC6?

Why not offer some constructive advice instead of offering only negative comments? It was a valid question, and the OP gave the information he thought necessary for us to help him. Maybe give an alternative to VC6, and how to obtain it legally. Otherwise your post was full of useless text that helps no one.

lol, woah take it easy there cowboy. Hopefully my post would encourage the topic creator to just all of that "necessary information" in something called a Pastebin.
