Winbase.h and compilation errors
When I tried to compile a program that I am writing to perform serial
communications over the serial port of of a Windows 95 computer, I got
the compilation errors listed below. Most of the errors were in the
Winbase.h include file. I have not touched this header file. This
header file was a standard header file supplied with my
Visual C++ 5.0
development software. I am developing my software on a Windows NT
Workstation (Service Pack 3). Can anyone tell me what the problem may
be?
Also when I am using the "CreateFile" function, what file name
(lpFileName)should I supply when I am using this function to get a
HANDLE to my serial port.
Any help/assistance that you could give me would be greately
appreciated.
