"fatal error: windows.h: No such file or directory" when running make (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

[Kodemannen]

Hello there,

When I run make inside the repository I get the following error message

gcc -c -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/wine -I/usr/include/wine/windows    -g -O2 -D__WINESRC__ -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -o jackasio.o jackasio.c
jackasio.c:57:10: fatal error: windows.h: No such file or directory
   57 | #include <windows.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:82: jackasio.o] Error 1

Do you know what to do?

Cheers :)

I fixed this problem by tweaking the Makefile and pointing it to /usr/include/wine/wine/windows.

I also had to apt install libwine-dev and libjack-dev for it to compile.

Thanks! I actually just decided to keep using Windows for audio production for now, but I will try this when I try again later at some point!

Where exactly did you change this value?

Thank's for the help!! The directory (/usr/include/wine) doesn't exist on my machine, I don't know what to do...

On my system (Ubuntu), it came with the package libwine-dev. You can search for which installed package contains a certain path with the following command:

dpkg -S /usr/include/wine

If you want to search for filenames in packages you haven't installed yet, you can use apt-file.

@matstc Thanks mate! It helped me a lot!!! Now wineasio works on my computer!!
