<io.h> not available in Windows SDK 8.1

[vix]

I need to compile an external library which requires some functions from Windows SDK.

The library uses _access() which requires <io.h>.

I can't find <io.h> in the include folder of Windows SDK 8.1 installed with CVI 2017.

How can I fix this?

Hello Vix,

io.h is not part of Windows SDK but rather VC runtime. You can use GetFileAttrs from Utility Library.

Hi Constantin,

I don't know, but <io.h> is included in Windows SDK 10.

I opened a ticket with NI and I've been waiting for suggestion on how to update the SDK used by CVI 2017.

One more thing;

the same library uses

gmtime_s()

too which exists in SDK 10 but doesn't exist in SDK 8.1.

I think the only reasonable approach is configure CVI to use an updated release of SDK.

How can I get this?

The only solution to this issue is to push NI to update Windows SDK included with CVI.

Feel free to support this idea if you think it's useful.
