Subject: VC6 - conflict with
objidl.h
Hi,
I'm trying to compile some code under Visual C++
v6 and I get the following error messages:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\objidl.h(786) : error C2059: syntax error :
'('
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\objidl.h(786) :
error C2501: 'CRYPTO_realloc' : missing storage-class or type
specifiers

Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\objidl.h(786) : error C2059: syntax error :

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\objidl.h(786) :
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before ')'
C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\objidl.h(786) : error C2238:
unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
I found the following message in the

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if
there's really a conflict so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has faced that
problem. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can work around that problem?
Thanks in advance.
