Hey all,
   I'm trying to compile an embedded Visual C++ project for the Pocket
PC 2003, which uses Windows CE.

   Whenever I try to compile the resource (.rc) file, I get the
following error:

   "C:\Program Files\Windows CE tools\wce420\POCKET PC
2003\Include\emulator/new (26) RC2188 #error : This header requires
a C++ compiler"

   The file "...Include\emulator/new " has a preprocessor directive
that fires this error under the conditon "#ifndef __cplusplus".

   It makes sense that the resource compiler doesn't have __cplusplus
defined (since it's not a C++ compiler). What I don't understand is
why the compiler is including the "...Include\emulator/new " file. It
has to do with memory allocation, not with compilation of resources.

   I can't compile my project because of this issue.

   Also of note: when I change the configuration to "STANDARD SDK"
instead of "POCKET PC 2003," the problem disappears.

   Can anyone help? There's nothing I've found that helps me out with
this problem.

Thanks so much,
Joe
