I'm currently trying to compile a PHP driver for MongoDB using Visual Studio 2008 and I'm facing some problems with the compilation process.
Every time I try to build the project, the compiler keeps throwing me errors like these:
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(50) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '*'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(50) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before '*'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(50) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(50) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(53) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '*'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(53) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before '*'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(53) : error C2059: syntax error : ','
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(53) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(56) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '*'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(56) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before '*'
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(56) : error C2059: syntax error : ','
...\mongo_php_driver\bson.h(56) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
There are about 740 of these and all of these errors are inside the header files. From what it says, I can understand that there are lots of syntax errors, but what I don't understand is, the syntax looks just fine to me. I don't know C very well, so I'm probably wrong on this though.
I thought the Visual Studio compiler is just acting up and throwing me fake errors, but I couldn't find anything on Google about such issue. And in fact, I also tried to compile this with Code::Blocks only to find the same results. So there must be something really stupid that I forgot that causes these errors.
This is the content of bson.h as a reference (I've marked the line where the errors start):
