I'm compiling the GDI+ library in my code:
#include <gdiplus.h>
It works fine with the MSVC compiler but when using the Intel DPC++ 2024 compiler, I get the compilation error 'EmfPlusRecordType' is an incomplete type inside the gdiplusenums.h header:
The code seems fine, also it's a standard GDI+ header. Any ideas on how it can be fixed (without editing standard headers)? The full error output is below:
