'SCARDHANDLE' does not name a type ??

    Hello,

    I am using DevC++ 4.9.9.2 on Windows XP.

    I am new to C++ and trying to use a 3rd party DLL to communicate with a memory card reader.

    The 'McardAPI.h' that I am including in my simple class, uses the SCARDHANDLE in its typedefs (also some more errors but they are all the same type):

    typedef SCARDHANDLE MCARDCONTEXT;

    There is a .dll and .lib file provided by the 3rd party. I have put the .dll in the C:\Dev-Cpp\bin directory and put the .lib file in the C:\Dev-Cpp\lib directory. In the Project Options, Parameters, Linker options I have specified the MCSCM.lib file. I have also included

    C:\Dev-Cpp\bin
    C:\Dev-Cpp\lib
    C:\Dev-Cpp\include

    in the Project Options, Directories, Library Directories.
    But I still keep getting the error messages:
    10 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\McardAPI.h `SCARDHANDLE' does not name a type

    And a few more of the same type of errors. See full log below.
    Full log:

    make.exe: *** [Hello.o] Error 1

    Execution terminated

    Is there somewhere else the .lib files need to be included or what else do I need to do?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this!

    Cheers!

      How is MCARDCONTEXT defined?
      Post about the first 20 lines of McardAPI.h.
