Native Win32 compiling... strange error

Native Win32 compiling... strange error

[Joe Kraska]

Hi. Well, I read the fact and searched the archives the best I knew 
how. Here's what I'm trying to do:

Using the b20 standard release, I am attempting to compile a native 
windows application with gcc. The include files I am using are 
the ones in Microsoft's own SDK, and I am expecting to link 
with the libs there as well. I am, in fact, attempting to compile 
the "Brouhahah" example from (chapter 13?) _Inside Direct X_.
Here is, literally, what happens:

jkraska% gnumake --unix 
mkdir -p ./WIN98 
gcc -c -mno-cygwin -mwindows -g -I/g/sdk/Include -DNT brouhaha.C -o 
WIN98/brouhaha.o 
In file included from \g\sdk\Include\windef.h:166, 
from \g\sdk\Include\windows.h:171, 
from brouhaha.h:6, 
from brouhaha.C:1: 
\g\sdk\Include\winnt.h:705: #error Must define a target architecture. 
make: *** [WIN98/brouhaha.o] Error 1

Some clarification: "brouhaha.h" is the first file included by 
"brouhaha.C". "windows.h" is the first file included by "brouhaha.h". 
I'm unclear why what happens next happens. Obviously "winnt.h" is 
being included and a preprocessor #if/else combination is not happy. 
I am compiling under Windows 98, so I'm unclear why "winnt.h" is 
being included, but I am assuming right now that it's normal and 
somehow related to portability. But the failure to find a define 
is not normal, so am I doing something wrong???

Does anyone know?

It appears that winnt.h expects a #define to have been
#defined. It's a bit irregular that I should be expected to do
this myself, however, so I'm worried that I'm not invoking
the compiler correctly.

This one will go away if you define _M_IX86 on the command line. This is a MS-specific pre-defined macro in a set that identifies the target platform.

I hopefully did the right thing for the next release. You should be able
to include winnt.h without having to include windows.h first (a practice
no so uncommon in existing code written for MSVC).

! It could possibly be this little argument right here^ that says
you're compiling for NT.
