To fix these warnings, postfix your large constant values with 'ULL', like the following example

static const ULONGLONG LARGEVALUE_A = 864000000000; /* triggers warning */
static const ULONGLONG LARGEVALUE_B = 864000000000ULL; /* correct */

[Big William]

making the modifications with:
1) addition of postfix the ULL
2) #define _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T 1

is not successful to compile with Code:: Blocks ver.8.02 and with DevCpp 5

Help me

For whom it might interest:
Back in 2009 when we used xtmouse's DispHelper, we needed the following extra modifications:

• map the C99 compliant swprintf for the Microsoft-only _snwprint
• use proper wide-char format specifier (%ls) in swprintf
• use VARIANT macro accessors like V_VT(pvResult) instead of pvResult->vt

With these fixes, not only were we able to use it with GCC compiler under windows (like MinGW32) but even get it working on Linux with wine-gcc

My patched version is available under this github fork:
