TRef.h and windows.h are incompatible

ROOT
1

hi,

there is a linking problem when I use TRef with an include of windows.h.
in the following program

#include <windows.h>
#include <TRef.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
TRef ref;
TObject *obj = ref.GetObject();
return 0;
}

this linking error occurs

error LNK2019: Nicht aufgeloestes externes Symbol "public: class TObject * __thiscall TRef::GetObjectA(void)const " (?GetObjectA@TRef@@QBEPAVTObject@@XZ), verwiesen in Funktion _main

Of course, it works without the include of windows.h

I’m using the cvs version of root under windows xp.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Matthias,

use
#include "Windows4root.h"
instead of
#include <windows.h>

But it is generally not needed…
