Re: [Dclib-devel] compilation problems [min/max in Windows]

[Davis K. <dav...@gm...>]

This is just another one of the ways in which Microsoft breaks the C++
standard.  I thought they only did this min/max thing in windows.h but I
guess that isn't right.   But in any case.  I think you just need to #define
NOMINMAX before you include any windows headers and everything is fine.   Or
try #including dlib/windows_magic.h at the very top of your program.
