#include <WinBase.h> errors: how to avoid?

[joeu2004]

I get a slew of syntax errors starting in line 243 of <WinBase.h>.

The compiler underscores such typedefs as ULONG_PTR, DWORD, PVOID and HANDLE among others.

Presumably, <winbase.h> has a prerequisite header file that it is not #include'g itself :-(.

What am I missing?

PS: I tried changing the order of #include <WinBase.h>, to no avail.


The code is....

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>        // for time()
#include <WinBase.h>  // for sleep()

int _tmain(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	time_t st, et;
	st = time();
	sleep(2000);
	et = time();
	printf("%ld\n%ld\n%ld\n", st, et, et-st);
done:
	printf("press Enter to terminate");
	getchar();
	return 0;
}

"stdafx.h" is (as provided by Visual C++)....

#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>


"targetver.h" is (as provided by Visual C++)....

#pragma once
#include <SDKDDKVer.h>
