Re: [Boost-users] boost::asio Visual Studio 9 - fatal error C1189: #error : WinSock.h has already been included

Julian, you might want to #define _WINSOCKAPI_ /* Prevent inclusion of winsock.h in windows.h */ before including any headers in your file. This way only winsock2.h will be included. Or, alternatively, you can try to include winsock2.h yourself before anything. Have fun Andrey. On Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:22:48 -0600, Julian Cain wrote:

Sorry, that would be VS 9.0 (2008)

I have upgraded to VS 8.0 Standard and when compiling ASIO errors on the following:

1>Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results 1>C:\tor\trunk\lib\boost\boost/asio/detail/socket_types.hpp(27) : fatal error C1189: #error : WinSock.h has already been included

Is this a known problem?

thanks
