Are importants this warnings???

The files ddraw.h, dinput.h and dsound.h are imported of DirectX_8.1b SDK.

The same warnings with files ddraw.h, dinput.h and dsound.h imported of DirectX 9.0c (April 2006) SDK.

What is the problem?

Thanks.

Edit: The source code is from SVN (Revision 3092).

Warnings happen, ignore them.

This warnings are solutioned --> In .\src\win\winlink.cpp, in lines 1227 and 1238, I change this line

Code: Select all

sprintf(message1,"Error initializing DirectInput\nYou may need to install DirectX 8.0a or higher located at www.microsoft.com/directx\0");

for

Code: Select all

sprintf(message1,"Error initializing DirectInput\nYou may need to install DirectX 8.0a or higher located at www.microsoft.com/directx\n");

The others warnings --> My suposition is what libs libadvapi32.a and libuser32.a of MinGW are not complete "compatible" with files advapi32.dll and user32.dll in C:\Windows\System32 directory in my WinXP Pro + SP2. But I am not a expert !!!!

Actually my compilation ZSNES apparently run correctly.
