PostWindowsApi build error

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

Hello,

I’m using a lib, mongoose to setup a websocket server in unreal.
In the project everything works pretty well but as soon as i try to put the code in a plugin i cannot compile my project, i have weird PostWindowsApi.h errors.
Here are my includes in the beggining on my .cpp file :



#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include "WebSocketServer.h"
#include "GenericPlatform/GenericPlatformProcess.h"
#include "GenericPlatform/GenericPlatformAffinity.h"

#include "Windows/AllowWindowsPlatformTypes.h"
#include "Windows/prewindowsapi.h"
#include "mongoose.h"
#include "lz4.h"
#include "Windows/PostWindowsApi.h"
#include "Windows/HideWindowsPlatformTypes.h"

Here are the errors produced by the build :

I’m not very familiar with including windows api stuff and i can’t figure out why this work in project but not in plugins.

Cheers

Update : i tried even in a whole new c++ project with nothing inside, put that in a new module, still doesn’t work and the same errors are raised.
