[gecode-users] help--trouble on using Gecode in VS2008

[Filip Konvička]

Hi,

you might not be aware of the NOMINMAX macro, which can be #defined 
before #including windows.h (maybe a good place to do it is in the 
project settings, or on the compiler command line). This prevents 
windows.h defining the min and max macros.

HTH,
Filip
