APPLIES TO

Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 Cross Development Edition for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q139603

SYMPTOMS

When you compile a project for a Macintosh target, the following error messages occur:

C:\MSVC20\MFC\INCLUDE\afxwin.h(1908) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPSCROLLINFO'

C:\MSVC20\MFC\INCLUDE\afxwin.h(1910) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPSCROLLINFO'

C:\MSVC20\MFC\INCLUDE\afxwin1.inl(20) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

CAUSE

The identifier LPSCROLLINFO is not defined in the Afxwin.h file in version 3.2 of the Microsoft Foundation classes.

RESOLUTION

Run the provided Setupmfc.exe program, and add a path for the MFC 3.0 include directory to the INCLUDE environment variable in the development environment. More details follow.

The Visual C++ 2.2 Setup program installs a program called Setupmfc.exe in the Msvc20\Bin directory and installs an "MFC 3.0 Source Setup" icon for it in the Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 program group. To see the icon, you need to have the Macintosh add-on installed before you install Visual C++ 2.2. Here are the necessary steps:

Use Setupmfc.exe to reinstall MFC 3.0 source code. Make sure you use the Visual C++ 2.0 compact disc when the program asks for the MFC 3.0 source directory. Using the Visual C++ 2.2 compact disc will not work.
Open the Visual C++ development environment. On the Tools menu, click Directories. Under Platform, click Macintosh. Under Show Directories for, click Include files. Remove the existing header file directory for MFC 3.2. Click the Add button, and add a path for the MFC 3.0 include directory. For example:

C:\Msvc20\Mfc30\Include

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
