how to avoid conflict in definitions when using Win32 SDK API header in Qt ?

[captainst]

Hello Everyone,

I've come across a problem when using the wlanapi (win32 native WIFI API) in Qt.

I included the wlanapi.h in my .cpp file. However, the compiler compains that wlanapi.h can not be found. So I added two include paths to my .pro file, like this:

INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include" #this is the path to my wlanapi header
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include" #this is the path to header files included by wlanapi.h

INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include" #this is the path to my wlanapi header
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include" #this is the path to header files included by wlanapi.h

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When compile, it shows up a lot of warning/errors which make me feel that the <QtCore/qglobal.h> has conflict with those win32's:

In file included from d:\Qt\2010.05\qt\include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/tools/qbytearray.h:48,

Anybody knows how to resolve the conflict ? Many thanks in advance !

what qt version you are using? QtSDK or compiled yourself? Using the VC2008 binary?

Thank you nish.

I am using the QtCreator 2.0.1 with Qt SDK ver 4.7.0. The QtSDK is installed, not recompiled. I am not using Visual Studio. I simply want to add some WiFi features to my current QtCreator project.

I have added #include <wlanapi.h> to my .cpp file. At first it complained that wlanapi.h can not be found, so I added the windows SDK path using "INCLUDEPATH +=" in .pro file. In this case the defines in qt head file get incasinated.

Or maybe just GCC doesn't fully understand the Visual studio-specific Win32 include files. You may need to modify them.

Thank you. I belive that modifying win32 headers is the last thing I would do ever.

I found this on google
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility/...engine_win.cpp

This file also contains #include <wlanapi.h>. However I have not managed to compile this project either -- the same problem.
