Description:
I am using VC++ 6.0 to write a simple client program in Windows xp. However, the header file my_global.h is causing many compilation errors

My program is:
#include <my_global.h>
#include <mysql.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   return 0;
}

and the comilation errors are:
--------------------Configuration: CONNECT1 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
