error: windows.h: No such file or directory

Expand Post »

Hi,

I have this code in C++ and it is not compiling in a terminal window on a Fedora Linux machine.

Please help, thanks a lot

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <windows.h>
 
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, 
    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Goodbye, cruel world!", "Note", MB_OK);
    return 0;
}
#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, 
    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Goodbye, cruel world!", "Note", MB_OK);
    return 0;
}

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the reply, I am sorry to post the code since I am not aware of the fact that it belongs to Windows, Could you please tell me as to what I should do in order to find code that has buttons etc and can work in Linux terminal?

Any particular web site or books for the purpose?

Thanks a lot my friend for your time, appreciated.........

The line #include <windows.h> didn't ring a bell ?
