Hi,
When i try to compile "Developer's Image Library" (http://www.imagelib.org)
i get stuck on this define statements (and similar ones).

Error message is "alignment must be a power of 2" and a 
warning "unrecognized pragma"

What alignment are you setting it to?

Sorry, I'm all lost now. I have never using these options before.
But I found something under Settings/Build/Struct Alignment
which are set to quad word, and tested all other options but it gave
not better results.

The #pragma pack is used to set the alignment within the source code. Your
code passes it a macro or something, what value does that expand to? (The
value needs to be a power of 2.)

If i undestand the help file right it must be 1 in this line below?
#pragma pack(push, bmp_struct, 1)

I tried them all (2,4,8,16)

I guess DM doesn't correctly understand the "Visual C++" extensions of the
pack pragma. "bmp_struct" is an identifier for the "pragma pack" stack and
the alignment is 1. (see

Thanks for the reference. More accurately, MS changed it from what it was
before. In any case, replacing it with:
    #pragma pack(push, 1)
should work.
