error: conflicting declaration 'typedef char int8_t'

[Kertopher]

(Note that I'm a bit noobish to c++, especially when it comes to using other people's libraries.)

Using example windows code (with the included cpp), the program broke on run time.

Here's the full error:

It's probably me doing something stupid, but I was just wondering what went wrong here. (Again, using the example code and including the cpp file.)

Windows 10, using Code Blocks.

Hi @Kertopher, this code hasn't been yet written to work with the Code::Blocks / MinGW compiler; But let me know what steps you do to get it working. And adding these compiler flags might help you get a head start. Let me know:

-Dsnprintf=snprintf
-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501
-D_MSC_VER=1600

@dhbaird Has this been optimized for windows yet?
