Assimp: Material.inl illegal token on right side of '::

[nsporillo]

I just got a test project setup and hoped I had Assimp setup and working, but I ran into this error in the Material.inl file in the include dir.

Line 106.

Hey dude, I'm in the exact same position as you currently. Did you manage to find a solution?

@TriJacob it was a long process but it seemed I just followed the wrong tutorial for setting everything up. I had to spend many hours trying different tutorials and eventually found a setup that worked for my setup. (Windows 10 64-Bit)

I wish I had better help, it was a very painful process.

windows.h defines min unless you define NOMINMAX before including it. This breaks all kinds of things in the C++ headers.

@turol Yo, thanks for the response but I fixed this days ago haha! There was a few solutions but that wasn't one that worked for me. I ended up for a while just encasing the problem in brackets example: (std::min) which worked until I found that I had a dependancy issue that was causing it so it's all sorted now.

Encapsulating std::min in parentheses seemed to do the trick for me.

Thanks a lot for the update.

Which tutorial have you follow?

thanks this worked for me, I had included the constant NOMINMAX in preprocessor definitions: WIN32;_DEBUG;_CONSOLE;dSINGLE;NOMINMAX;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)
