Re: Help compiling an idl for an Add-in

Hi Bjoern,

This is the cpp output:

➜  ~  cpp --version
cpp (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu2) 5.2.1 20151010
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

So, 5.2.1 right?

I'll try to download the sdk instead to check if it compiles.
I'll let you know the result.

thanks
