undeclared identifier 'uint' type while compling the latest openalpr on windows

[Levin Jian]

Hello,

I encountered below error while compiling the latest openalpr with visual 2013 on windows. From I can see, it seems that it's linking to opencv include files correctly. Can anyone help see what's the problem? Thanks.

error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'uint'

Please see attachment for the compile error screenshot.


Regards,
Levin

The bleeding edge of OpenALPR source code may not work with other environments.  CI and my dev environment are both Linux.  It's usually right before releases that I test on Windows and make the necessary fixes.  So, if you pull the v1.2.0 tag and compile that, you should be able to get it compiled.  

Otherwise, you can have a shot at fixing the platform issues.  That particular issue can probably be fixed by adding something like:

#define uint unsigned int

1. Yes, the released V1.2.0 version works fine. I was albe to compile it in VS2013, build the alpr exe, and have a try on the sample plate image in the github main page, and it outputs a series of possible plate number as it should

2. uint identifier is probably a compiler discrepency issue as Matt indicated.

3. While trial running the alpr, two minor issues poped up, I will report/discuss it in another thread.

Thank you, Matt
