Hi There,
Just to report I found the lines which were causing me a problem in file
lib/common.h
// The MySQL headers define these macros, which is completely wrong in a
// C++ project. Undo the damage.
#undef min
#undef max
The trouble is Windows also defines these as global macros in various
files including the WinDef.h file, so other header files which assume
their existence (not many of them admittedly) may no longer compile
depending on order of #includes I guess.
Thanks anyway.
