Are your BRL-CAD sources up-to-date? There was a commit by Bob just a few days ago that pertained to the CR symbol. He’d changed our usage to CRET in src/burst/ascii.h to not conflict with the (new) Windows usage. Given your error is in burst, it looks like you’re probably out-of-date. > I understand these are some windows headers, so it's not brlcad source code. > Do you have any idea what this could be and possible ways to solve it? Weird errors like that in headers are often preprocessor symbols, which can be anyone’s code including BRL-CAD code. Now what makes this one interesting is that somehow winnt.h is being included AFTER burst's ascii.h header, which is unexpected — header inclusions are ordered, system headers should be first. If you can find details on what headers it included before getting to the winnt header, that would be useful. > However I don't know which file is including winnt.h so that I cannot apply > the suggested workarounds. BRL-CAD doesn’t include it directly, so it’s some other system header (e.g., windows.h, which we do include via bio.h but burst doesn’t use that directly. maybe an indirect inclusion.) Short answer, run “svn update” every day. Longer answer, a fix was made but it shouldn’t have been necessary — maybe some of these clues can help you figure out a better fix than the CRET rename.
