Hello! I am a newbie to hxcpp and have a trouble:

motion-twin/haxe/lib/hxcpp/3,1,68/src/hx/Date.cpp(7)
 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Shlobj.h': No such file
 or directory

.

I have MS Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on Windows 8.1 machine. I have a c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\ShlObj.h file and don't understand why I got the error.

Hxcpp will by default look for the Windows/7.1A sdk to remain compatible with windows XP.

You can use the latest SDK by adding the define HXCPP_NO_WINXP_COMPAT, either per-project with "-D HXCPP_NO_WINXP_COMPAT", or globally in your ~/.hxcpp_config.xml file.

See if this helps. If you set the environment variable HXCPP_VERBOSE, you may also get some info on which paths are being used.

Apparently you can target XP directly with VS2013, but I'm not sure how - some magic compile flag somewhere maybe.

Thank you, Hugh! In my case the solution was to define VS120COMNTOOLS environment variable (it was not defined... but was defined VS110COMNTOOLS).
Is there document with a possible defines for hxcpp? I try to find it with no success...

This variable is not a hxcpp variable - it should be a microsoft thing. Maybe something funny happened with the installation, like only installing for a particular user, or maybe a reboot after installation was needed.
