The CImg Library

Hello, I am a beginner programmer. I use Visual Studio 6.0. I simply cannot compile anything using the CImg, here is the thing : I dowloaded CImg 1.3.7. The n I tried to compile one the many examples given, and every time, I time 102 errors, the first one being : e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(1931) : error C2039: 'FILE' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(1931) : error C2039: 'FILE' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3866) : error C2039: 'FILE' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3866) : error C2039: 'FILE' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3867) : error C2039: 'FILE' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3879) : error C2039: 'va_list' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3886) : error C2039: 'fprintf' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3901) : error C2039: 'memset' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3902) : error C2039: 'memset' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(3915) : error C2039: 'system' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(4070) : error C2039: 'srand' : is not a member of 'std' e:\codec++\libimage\cimg-1.3.7\cimg.h(4070) : error C2660: 'srand' : function does not take 1 parameters ...etc.. does anyone has the same problem ? I included the CImg.h properly, but VC++ simply qon't compile it. This is very frustrating, since everyone seems to be using it easily. Thank you for your help, Remi

VC6.0 is not supported anymore by CImg. This is an old compiler that does not respect the C++ standard, and it was too much a pain to make it accept the compilation of CImg. I tried as much as I could, but I reached a point where no workarounds were possible, so I had to abandon this compiler (which was quite a joy for me, since it is really crappy). So, basically you need to update to a more recent Visual Studio version (which is available for free, if I remember well). David.

Thank you very much for your answer, I agree VC6 is kind of crappy. Should the CImg work however on Dev-C++ ? Rémi
