在64位Windows上使用dirent.h编译错误

Question

OS: Windows 8 64-bit

Compiler: Visual Studio 2012

Problem Description: When I try to compile codes with "dirent.h" in "x64", error occurs. No matter dirent.h is used or not. The error won't occur if the codes were compile under "win32" setting.

Error MSG: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\8.0\\Include\\um\\winnt.h(146): fatal error C1189: #error : "No Target Architecture"

EXAMPLE:

#include stdio.h  
#include sys/types.h
#include dirent.h   

int main(int argc, char* argv[])  
{  

    const char *name = ".";  
    DIR *dirp;  
    struct dirent *dp;  

    dirp = opendir(name);  
    if (dirp != NULL) {  
        printf("opendir %s succeed!\n", name);    
    }  
    closedir(dirp);  
    return 0;  
}

I had the same problem... Try to go PROJECT-> PROPERTIES -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor, and in Preprocessor Definitions add AMD64 . It works for me. PS put underscore before and after AMD64.
