Question

Ok, I'm compiling a project that is using the Chromium Embedded Framework 3. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with Visual Studio 2013 RC. Officially, VS2013 RC is not supported by CEF3. However, I require VS2013 due to C++11 features that are only available in VS2013.

I downloaded the CEF3 64 bit binaries, and compiled their sample application using VS2013. It worked beautifully (although I had to add the <algorithm> header file to some of the cef3 header files).

Now, when I include some of the CEF3 files into my project, I'm getting a bunch of compile errors. I'm using SCons to compile my project. It looks almost like some variables and defines are not getting set/called when the CEF3 header file(s) include the <windows.h> header file...

The errors are:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...

scons: building terminated because of errors.

Some errors that jump out at me are:

\cef_binary_3.1547.1412_windows64\include/internal/cef_win.h(59) : error C3861: 'EnterCriticalSection': identifier not found

But this should be found, as cef_win.h clearly includes <windows.h> before it tries to call EnterCriticalSection.

There are various other errors that seem like they shouldn't be occuring.

I created a simple little sample file, which includes that same CEF3 header files that my project uses, and compiled using SCons, and it compiled just fine. The sample app is below:

/* Sample C/C++, Windows, link to kernel32.dll */
#include <cef_app.h>
#include <cef_client.h>
#include <cef_render_handler.h>


static CRITICAL_SECTION cs; /* This is the critical section object -- once initialized,
                               it cannot be moved in memory */
                            /* If you program in OOP, declare this as a non-static member in your class */ 
void f()
{
    /* Enter the critical section -- other threads are locked out */
    EnterCriticalSection(&cs);

    /* Do some thread-safe processing! */

    /* Leave the critical section -- other threads can now EnterCriticalSection() */
    LeaveCriticalSection(&cs);
}

int main()
{
    /* Initialize the critical section before entering multi-threaded context. */
    InitializeCriticalSection(&cs);

    f(); 

    /* Release system object when all finished -- usually at the end of the cleanup code */
    DeleteCriticalSection(&cs);

    return 0;
}

Anyone have any ideas why I would be getting these errors?

Solution

as per comments: windows.h file wasn't included, because other script defined _WINDOWS_
