I have a VS2015 C++
project. app has to run on both Windows 7 and XP. So, I want to set _WIN32_WINNT
& WINVER
to _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
.
This is how stdafx.h
of my project looks like:
stdafx.h
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
#define WINVER _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
#include <WinSDKVer.h>
// Windows Header Files:
#include <windows.h>
When compiled, I see the following warning/error:
stdafx.h(12): error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated
1>stdafx.h(12): warning C4005: '_WIN32_WINNT': macro redefinition
1> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\include\SDKDDKVer.h(197): note: see previous definition of '_WIN32_WINNT'
1>stdafx.h(13): warning C4005: 'WINVER': macro redefinition
1> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\include\SDKDDKVer.h(212): note: see previous definition of 'WINVER'
Because the #include "targetver.h"
is including <sdkddkver.h>
which already defines the constants _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER when they aren't already defined by the build environment.
As a matter of fact, the auto-generated targetver.h
tells you exactly how to fix this:
#pragma once
// Including SDKDDKVer.h defines the highest available Windows platform.
// If you wish to build your application for a previous Windows platform, include WinSDKVer.h and
// set the _WIN32_WINNT macro to the platform you wish to support before including SDKDDKVer.h.
#include <SDKDDKVer.h>
Simple solution. Just define those constants before the inclusion of targetver.h
. You might have to use the actual literal value for XP since you haven't include the header file that defines
Like this:
// x501 is XP
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#define WINVER 0x0501
#include "targetver.h"
#include <windows.h>
Try
#include <winsdkver.h>
#undef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
#include <SDKDDKVer.h>
You #include <winsdkver.h> so you can use _WIN32_WIN_WINXP. However, then you need to #undef _WIN32_WINNT because it is defined in <winsdkver.h>. That way when you use #define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP you don't get the redefinition of _WIN32_WINNT warning.
