I have updated a project from fmod ex to fmod studio low level api, but when I now compile in debug mode, I get a lot of syntax errors for the fmod\_dsp.h file and the fmod.h file. I am programming in C in Visual C++ 2010 Express and have copied the fmod\_vc.lib file and all the header files belonging to the low level api to the project directory and linked the library file to the project. I have also copied the fmod.dll to the working (Debug) directory, and included the fmod.h and fmod\_errors.h in the program file. And now I have run out of ideas of how to resolve this. Could anyone give me a hint? Thanks in advance. Keitel ---

That’s good news! Thanks for the letting us know. ---

Hi again, I recreated the whole project and then it worked. All the compiler errors went away. I have no idea why, but I don’t think it matters. I therefore consider the case solved. Thank you for your assitance. Best regards Keitel ---

Hi again, I updated to version 1.04, but I still get the same list of errors as above. Keitel ---

There are some API changes between FMOD 4 and FMOD 5, have you taken a look at the migration guide in the documentation CHM? If you have specific syntax errors you’re having trouble with could you post them here so we can help? ---

I have read the article “Transitioning between FMOD Ex and FMOD Studio” if that is what you are referring to. But I still think I have set everything correctly.

Hi Keitel, Looking at line 85 of fmod\_dsp.h, it appears the compiler is falling over the “bool inputsidle” parameter declaration, specifically it does not recognize “bool” as a builtin type. I guess you are compiling as C, rather than C++, right? That would certainly explain it. It is true that fmod\_dsp.h is one of the common FMOD headers and is supposed to be compatible with both C and C++. Unfortunately, a couple of “bool” declarations slipped through our screening process. This issue has been addressed in the upcoming 1.4 release, with “bool” replaced with FMOD\_BOOL. But unfortunately we can not make the same fix to version 1.03.xx because it would break binary compatibility for many users. If you can, the easiest workaround is to compile as C++ for now. The other option, if that is not possible, is to comment out the #include “fmod\_dsp.h” statement from the bottom of fmod\_common.h. Obviously, that will only work as long as you don’t use the DSP interface. Any DSP related source files would still need to be compiled as C++. Hopefully, that will be enough to get you going until 1.4 comes out and the problem goes away. Barring any unforeseen events, our plan is to release 1.4 in the second week of June. Cheers, Graeme. ---

Hi, Thank you for your clarification. I’ve tried both the methods you suggested, but some problems came up: When keeping the program in C and commenting out the #include “fmod\_dsp.h” at the end of fmod\_common.h, I still got errors for the fmod.h file. When I converted to C++, I got syntax errors in the header file for the Dirac sound system, dirac.h, which I also need to use. Keitel ---

Ah, I see why commenting out #include “fmod\_dsp.h” didn’t work. It also defines some types that are required by “fmod.h” itself. Okay then, if you really can’t compile as C++, I do have a little hack you can try… ```auto #define bool unsigned char #include "fmod_studio.h" #undef bool ``` Yes, it’s pretty evil, but it it works! Other options: [list=1] [_] Contact Dirac support and see if they can fix their header so it compiles under C++.[/_Ⓜ1gp7lkrt] [_] Can you separate the code that includes fmod.h and dirac.h? If so, compile the source that includes fmod.h as C++, and the one that includes dirac.h as C.[/_Ⓜ1gp7lkrt][/list:o:1gp7lkrt] ---

Don’t put it at the top of your whole include list! Just around #include “fmod\_studio.h”, as I specified above. ---

I’ve placed it like this: ```auto #include #include "winuser.h" #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "fmod.h" #define bool unsigned char #include "fmod_studio.h" #undef bool #include "fmod_errors.h" #include "MiniAiff.h" #include "dirac.h" #include "Winresrc.h" #include "resource.h" #include "dos.h" #include "scales.h" #define FMOD_INIT_NORMAL 0x00000000 ``` Then I got rid of the error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol, but I still get syntax errors on the fmod\_dsp.h, fmod.h and fmod\_studio.h. By the way, do I actaully need to include the fmod\_studio.h if I only am going to use the low level functions? Keitel ---

Okay, if you are only going to use the low level API then you just need to #include “fmod.h”, like so… ```auto #define bool unsigned char #include "fmod.h" #undef bool ``` I think the reason you were still getting syntax errors is because you put the hack around “fmod\_studio.h”, but not around “fmod.h”. I didn’t realise you were trying to include both headers (“fmod\_studio.h” includes “fmod.h” internally). Anyway, please try removing “fmod\_studio.h” from your include list, and put the above hack around “fmod.h”. ---

Hi Keitel, Correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t look like any of those linker errors are related to FMOD. DispatchMessageW, TranslateMessage, GetMessageW, etc, are Windows API functions, and malloc, free, strlen, etc, are part of the standard C library. Are you sure you are linking with the right libraries? Cheers, Graeme.
