FLTK Error with Headers

Hi everyone.

I have successfully installed FLTK in VS 2015 Community Edition. I am dealing with other headers, part of Stroustrup's book, to build graphs and to create custom windows where to attach them. My problem is that when I am trying to compile I receive 4 error messagges:

I have set a Win32Project (not a Console Project), following the steps of this site: http://www.c-jump.com/bcc/common/Talk2/Cxx/FltkInstallVC/FltkInstallVC.html.
If I run the test example it perfectly works so, I guess, to have correctly installed the additional library.

Furthermore, I have added every header or source file provided by the author in the project.

main.cpp:

#include "std_lib_facilities.h"
#include "Graph.h"
#include "Simple_window.h"


int main()
{
	using namespace Graph_lib;

	Point tl{ 100,100 };

	Simple_window win{ tl,600,400,"My Window" };

	win.wait_for_button();

}


All headers and source file can be reached at: http://www.stroustrup.com/Programming/Programming-code.zip

EDIT

The headers provided are only to let FL commands more "intuitive" and should not improve FLTK's functionalities.

> namespace "std" has no member "Vector"

Should be vector with a lower case v, and not Vector.

Probably coming in from using "std_lib_facilities.h" from an earlier/later chapter.

Try re-ordering the headers:
1
2
3
#include "Simple_window.h"  // right at the top
#include "Graph.h" 
#include "std_lib_facilities.h" // last 
It does not work! It always points me to the line 17 of Window.h

I have added "std_lib_facilities.h" to header because of in the original code it was not included (it is already included in Graph.h). I tried to include to be perfectly sure that it maybe could work but nothing.

If you are using pre-compiled headers, turn them off:
Project => Properties => C/C++ => PreCompiled Headers => Not Using Precompiled Headers

The do a clean rebuild. Build => Rebuild

I might be able to give a more precise answer if you post the contents of the included headers - in particular, "std_lib_facilities.h". Make sure that the file is the one that you included: right click on the #include and choose Open Document "std_lib_facilities.h"
Yep I am posting it.. Thanks for help!

I have removed precompiled headers but I got still a failed build. :(
Yes. Comment out the 'disgusting macro hack to get a range checked vector' on line #98

// disgusting macro hack to get a range checked vector:
// #define vector Vector // commented out 

You don't need it anyway; by default, the Microsoft library uses range-checked std::vector<> and range-checked iterators in a debug build.

Alternatively, rearrange the order of #includes as indicated earlier, turn off pre-compiled headers, clean and build.

Either would work.
Yep it works!

I have only one error left about a function that returns a bool but it returns an ifstream object.

It is in Graph.cpp:

bool can_open(const string& s)
// check if a file named s exists and can be opened for reading

You appear to be using the files for the 2008 edition (first edition).
These have been updated for C++11 in the second edition (2014)

The conversion from a stream to bool is explicit in C++11

It is still from Stroustrup's files..!

I have solved, you were really very kind.. Thank you so much! I would get crazy without your help! Thank you!
