How did this happen? Never happened to me in the past

Thanks! I hope I can get this fixed. I spent an hour trying to solve it to no success

the problem is a 'namespace collision'

basically STL has a class called 'string' but IrrLicht ALSO has a class called 'string'

it sounds like you're trying to use the stl string, which is found in the std namespace. However, you're already using namespace irr, which means when you type 'string' its not sure if you want the std::string or the irr::string

First of all, I suggest you remove any 'using namespace xxx' statements and simply type out the full namespace in front of all of your variables so stuff like this doesnt happen again. Before you go that far, you can simply make sure you type 'std::' in front of your string declarations.

I don't have any string declarations. Thats the problem! :S I just deleted the last string declaration and I'm getting the same errors. What is causing std to be included anyway? I commented out stdio.h in all the sources and it still gives the same errors

Ok, getting rid of the windows headers didn't work either. Is this an Irrlicht problem?

i think your project settings in MSVC are automatically adding STD for you

Hmmm... it doesn't appear to be, but I'm new to VC++ project settings. This has to be the most pesky error around
