Can't compile spine-cpp runtime

ssrun

Update: I installed Clang and set that as the compiler and now I get the following error messages instead:

1>D:\Spine2D\Spine2D\spine-cpp\include\spine/MathUtil.h(50,24): error : expected ')'
1>D:\Spine2D\Spine2D\spine-cpp\include\spine/MathUtil.h(50,18): message : to match this '('

It's referring to the same file and line number.

Hi,

I'm running into an error when I try to compile the spine-cpp runtime into my test application using OpenGL as the renderer. The first of many error messages says:

1>D:\Spine2D\Spine2D\spine-cpp\include\spine\MathUtil.h(50,18): error C2146: syntax error: missing ')' before identifier 'a'

It's referring to this declaration in the MathUtil.h file for some reaason:
template<typename T>
static inline T min(T a, T b) { return a < b ? a : b; }

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 Professional with the latest updates at version 16.4.0 and compiling for x64 Debug. Any insight into this issue is greatly appreciated. I'm also using the following libraries:

gl3w - OpenGL extensions manager
glfw - window management
stb - image loading

Hm, spine-cpp compiles fine with both MSVC++ and Clang when part of the compilation step of our spine-sfml, spine-cocos2dx, and spine-ue4 runtime examples. Do you maybe have a macro somewhere that might get expanded, specifically called min? That would explain it.

Can you reproduce it using a single .cpp and just include the spine.h header?

I tried creating a new empty project which just prints Hello World and includes spine.h and it compiles. I'm going to take a look to see what other 3rd party library might have its own min() function as I personally don't have one defined.

I was able to fix it by including gl3w.h after all the spine headers. I reverted back to the msvc compiler also but that wasn't really the issue.
