Azure-kinect-sensor-sdk: syntax error in simple_cpp_sample

[devLupin]

I am testing simple_cpp_project.

Add sentences as needed.

include

Then an error occurred in k4a.hpp that did not exist before.
Same as the attached picture

What is the problem??

I met the same error;

[haimingZZ]

using

define NOMINMAX

can avoid this error

[Abdul-Mukit]

Getting the same error. Tried to add k4a.hpp for creating a dll.
@haimingZZ where do I insert the #define NOMINMAX ?

[Abdul-Mukit]

Update:
I was able to fix it. Thanks, @haimingZZ.
I added the #define NOMINMAX before the line#include <windows.h> in my framework.h for creating my dll.
The documentation provided for NOMINMAX is as follows:
https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK/blob/95f1d95f1f335b57a350a80a3a62e98e1ee4258d/examples/viewer/opengl/k4aimgui_all.h#L17

Some of these headers end up including windows.h, which defines the min/max macros, which conflict
with std::min and std::max, which we're using because they're portable. This macro modifies the
behavior of windows.h to not define those macros so we can avoid the conflict.

Hope this helps whoever gets this problem in the future :)
