Which compiler are you using? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal? "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

This error usually happens when the environment for the compiler is not set up correctly. Usually for me, this means running the `vcvars32.cmd` batch file to set up the INCLUDE and LIBS paths for the MSVC compiler. The invocations for the other C compilers may differ. You need to have MSVC installed though for this to work at all.	[reply]
