#282 Compiler error C2039 in VS 2015

[Bernhard Doebler]

Hi,

I took the sox-1.14.1.tag.gz, put several libraries in neighboring folders, compiled everything and ended up with
error C2039: "_base": Is not an element of "_iobuf"
Microsoft seemingly changed the definition of FILE. Is there a workaround?
Have you compiled sox in Visual Studio 2015?
Are there macros I can define to get the old definion of FILE?

Best,
Bernhard Döbler

I kept "playing" around. I edited the project settings. The project had been migrated automatically to my Visual Studio version.
I now ensured it was set to be a VS 2010 project (v100) instead of 2015 (v140). It now compiles.

I just see Visual Studio 2017 does not allow to set Platform Toolset v100 any more. :(

The FILE type is opaque in VS2015, and there is no way to get the old one back.
