In pelles c windows.h doesn't compile

I'm using pelles c. when I compile this code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)
{
   printf("Hello World");
}

I get this error:

D:\Program Files\PellesC\Include\Win\basetsd.h(53): warning #2099: Missing type specifier; assuming 'int'.

Solution

  • In order to use windows.h in PellesC you have to go to:

    • Project -> Project Options -> Compiler
    • Check: Enable Microsoft Extensions
