Windows uses some stuff that is not legal C++  they treat struct and 
class as different types with different rules.   While C++ says they are 
the same, (just one is public by default the other private by default)

Do you have treat all warnings as errors on?  If so turn off the 
inconsidtnet use of class and struct keywords

If that doesn't work can you preprocess a file that has this error and 
send it to me (strip out as much as possible that still leaves the 
error) and I'll check it out.

Thanks for any cooperation.
