Code Problem using Mingw ( Qt SDK 5.3.0 inbuilt) about efsw HOT 7 CLOSED

Original comment by Martín Lucas Golini (Bitbucket: SpartanJ, GitHub: SpartanJ).

I don't understand how this can happen, what version of MingW are you using? I compiled this with many mingw versions without any problem. Also TCHAR is char and szFile is char *, so i don't get it. Can you copy the error message?

C:\Qt**\Qt5.3.0**\5.3\ mingw482_32\

Using QtCreator it creates problem.

N:\Projects\qt\app\ThirdParty\FileSystemWatcher\src\efsw\WatcherWin32.cpp:32: error: cannot convert 'TCHAR* {aka wchar_t*}' to 'LPSTR {aka char*}' for argument '5' to 'int WideCharToMultiByte(UINT, DWORD, LPCWCH, int, LPSTR, int, LPCCH, LPBOOL)'
szFile, MAX_PATH - 1, NULL, NULL);

Oh, that explains everything. And here we have the answer for the issue #28. TCHAR is defined as wchar!

You are compiling with the macro UNICODE defined. And it will convert all the chars to wchar. You should disable that.

Add #undef UNICODE to base.hpp

Solve this problem. And also weird chars.

The correct solution is changing the type definition of szFile to char.
