Errors in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010

[uglybetty]

Hi,

I tried to include .cpp file in my project using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. I compiled in Netbeans and it works completely fine but in Visual C++ there are many errors. I also include all the headers needed. Please help me.

Looks like in your cscan.cpp you miss a lot of headers. Also opendir is not a windows function.

Solved!

Thanks for your response Thomas1965.
Apparently dirent.h does not included in Visual C++ because the header only found on Linux systems. I have to download from GitHub and place it in Visual C++ include directory.
