Hate OpenGL moving to DirectX Problems!

Noobscratcher (42)
I've Been using OpenGL for a while I was able to render a 3d model / parse a wavefront .obj file but I really hated the problems I ran into that were seriously retarded and didn't make sense to me.

So for that reason I've decided to move to DirectX and as always with every new API I run into some stupid problem that I can't figure out on my own.

I'm trying to install DirectX SDK and I get a Error Code S1023

so I thought okay maybe its installed and I just need the include and lib paths from the DirectX SDK folder so I added the include path -I to my makefile

and I get these errors?:

There is more errors but due to the text cap I can't show them so I provide a Pastebin link :

Anyways!
Could someone tell me what these errors are and how to fix them pleaaase?.

__in, and indeed __anything, is reserved for compiler specific extensions. I would not be surprised if you could only do anything with DirectX using MS tools. What tools are you using?

That said, I think these particular ones are just compiler hints, so if you #define them as nothing, it might work.

Aye, well if these are extensions specific to the MS C++ compiler (the one that comes with VS), you'll have problems (as indeed you are).

#define __inout

#define __out


or switch to VS.
