Problem error C1083

[Jer95]

I know it was anserwed, but i tried to compile custom.mfd i get this

------ Build started: Project: CustomMFD, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
CustomMFD.cpp
...\desktop\orbitersdk\samples\custommfd\orbiterapi.h(18) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory

There is no windows.h in the include folder in the orbiter sdk :sos:
And here is my changes to ascent profile.mfd

switch (key) {
    case OAPI_KEY_A:
        oapiOpenInputBox ("Altitude range (mi) [min max, or 'a' for auto]:", AltInput, 0, 20, (void*)this);
        return true;
    case OAPI_KEY_P:
        page = (page+1) % 2;
        return true;
    case OAPI_KEY_R:
        oapiOpenInputBox ("Vrad range (mi/h) [min max, or 'a' for auto]:", VradInput, 0, 20, (void*)this);
        return true;
    case OAPI_KEY_T:
        oapiOpenInputBox ("Vtan range (mi/h) [min max, or 'a' for auto]:", VtanInput, 0, 20, (void*)this);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

bool AscentMFD::ConsumeButton (int bt, int event)
{
    if (!(event & PANEL_MOUSE_LBDOWN)) return false;
    static const DWORD btkey[4] = { OAPI_KEY_P, OAPI_KEY_A, OAPI_KEY_R, OAPI_KEY_T };
    if (bt < 4) return ConsumeKeyBuffered (btkey[bt]);
    else return false;
}

char *AscentMFD::ButtonLabel (int bt)
{
    char *label[4] = {"PG", "AR", "VRR", "VTR"};
    return (bt < 4 ? label[bt] : 0);
}

int AscentMFD::ButtonMenu (const MFDBUTTONMENU **menu) const
{
    static const MFDBUTTONMENU mnu[4] = {
        {"Select page", 0, 'P'},
        {"Altitude range", 0, 'A'},
        {"Radial", "velocity range", 'R'},
        {"Tangential", "velocity range", 'T'}
    };
    if (menu) *menu = mnu;
    return 4;

Martin said i need to code them myself to show US units but i cant compile

Did you install the Windows SDK?

see;

Free_Compiler_Setup

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK) is available as Web Installer, as Full Download, and as ISO Image.

I installed it and the search found windows .h but visual C++ cannot find it

I installed
PSDK-x86.exe

OK, did you set up your compiler?

So far I see you have it in debug mode. (for final release you will need it in 'release' mode)

You will need to add the SDK to the include path in the compiler.

Right click on the bold [project] in the left-hand tree. Select "Properties". Add the SDK include path for both the Platform SDK and the Orbiter SDK to the project include path. The Platform SDK installs itself by default to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK so add the path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include. Orbiter can be installed anywhere, but if you unpacked it to C:\Orbiter, the correct path is C:\Orbiter\Orbitersdk\include.

similarly with the library s. (if you havenot already done so)

Add the SDK library path for both the Platform SDK and the Orbiter SDK to the linker library path. The Platform SDK path default is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\lib. The Orbiter SDK default is C:\Orbiter\Orbitersdk\lib

Ok i did those now i have a new problem:

MSVCRT.lib(ti_inst.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'IA64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'

MSVCRT.lib(ti_inst.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'IA64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'

The lib file you're trying to link to (MSVCRT.lib) is compiled for 64-bit intel code (IA64), but you are trying to link your project to work on X86 architecture. You need to either change the machine type (Configuration Properties --> Linker --> Target Machine) to IA64 or use a different set of libraries (I am assuming that you installed the 64-bit platform SDK) to link against.
