Re: [Quickfix-developers] Compile error in Exceptions.h

[Chris G. <ch...@gr...>]

I too am getting the error
 
c:\data\project\include\quickfix/Exceptions.h(249) : error C2664:
'FormatMessageW' : cannot convert parameter 5 from 'char [2048]' to
'unsigned short *'
 
using Visual Studio 6. Is there anyway of using QuickFIX with a project that
is already using Unicode?
 
Thanks,
 
Chris Griggs.

Brian,

It seems to be an error related to unicode.
You cannot compile quickfix with unicode.
Thus, in your project settings go to: 

Configuration Properties | General | Character Set 
and change it to Use Multi-Byte Character Set.

BR,
Djalma

Were you also trying to create a custom message?  Were you ever able 
to compile your project?
