Hi @antihax , Visual Studio 2019 works for me out of the box, like 2017 and 2015 did before. What configuration are you using by any chance ?
I'm following the procedure here : https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/wiki/Build-Windows

If it is something esoteric like Mingw32 or MSYS2 I'm no even sure it is supported anymore.

Anyway, some remarks about the PR:

• We are not going to patch external OSS, even embedded like RtAudio or TinyXml are.
• OK for Timer.
• Sound strange to put WinSocket specific hack in source code that don't use it at all. Again something may be wrong with your configuration.

Interesting, I am using VS2019. Are you defining WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN anywhere?
I will take another look tonight where this is coming from.

I'm not playing with low-level settings like that, because it is irrelevant with CMake. I just generate the adequate VS solution with CMake following the steps and settings of the Wiki.
Please note that this is the only supported way: VS solution generated with CMake as Wiki describes, with wxWidgets 3.1.3 statically build, while using the the config Release (or RelWithDebInfo if you want to debug CubicSDR)...etc.

For any other config variant you are on your own, and we are not going to dedicate any time to support such variants, sorry.

Unfortunately I also did the same, but CMake output will not build due to redefining winsock.h imports.

I will see if I can identify if I did something incorrect when generating the project from CMake.

I use a recent CMake, like 3.15+. (3.16 at that moment). Try to delete the CMake cache (see CMake GUI) and start again from the begining.

I checked I have the latest versions of all components, latest Win10 SDK, and completely reset all MSVC 2019 settings. Problem persists on all imports of windows.h.

I create a quick test solution with nothing else and can successfully import windows.h with no issue. Not sure what in CubicSDR or a dependency is creating the conflict, but something is importing winsock out of order.

I've refactored to include WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in the pre-processor options, which is a cleaner solution.

Great, works for me too ! Please re-add Timer.cpp Win32 include removal, and we are good to go.

@antihax Thanks for your contribution(s) !
