dirent.h in Visual Studio 2010 or 2008
Because this header file doesn't come with MSVC. Hence it cannot find it!
It comes with C POSIX library. The wikipedia says,
dirent.h is known to be included in
the following compilers:
- Turbo C++ (DOS)
- GCC (Cross-platform)
- MinGW (Microsoft Windows)
- Borland C++ Builder (Microsoft Windows)
Microsoft Visual C++ does not include
dirent.h
However, you can download free Windows implementation of dirent.h which you can use with Microsoft Visual Studio.
WINAPI C++ VS 2008 vs VS 2010
Most probably, the problem here is that your VS 2008 project was Multibyte CharacterSet based and VS 2010 project is UNICODE based.
Right-click on Project->Properties->General->Character Set
Change it to 'Use Multi-Byte Character Set'.
Alternatively, if you want to keep your code UNICODE based, then add _T before all the strings that you are defining.
