| Question: |
Why am I getting type mismatch and already defined errors in the system header files??!!
| | Answer: |
This problem arises sometimes (in Borland C++ 4.52+) when changing from a 16 to 32 bit target.
The ide file can sometimes become corrupted, and the most commonly corrupted option is the
symbol length option. There are a good deal of long identifiers in the windows header files
that have a "unique point" such as a W or A (Ansi or Unicode), or a _proxy or _stub tacked
on the end of them that depend on certain cases. If the identifier length option is changed to
something that is shorter than that "unique point", the compiler will not recognize them as
different. To change this, go into the project options under Compiler and Source. Change the
identifier length option to something suitable.
