README example does not compile

[jlkiri]

I am getting the following error just by copy-pasting the README example. What should I do?

error: proc macro panicked

I noticed that I was using the 0.9.1 version of the crate from the official tutorial, 0.18.0 made it work, but I still get an error importing MB_OK from Windows::Win32::UI::WindowsAndMessaging. For now I managed to use 0.into() for a simple compiling OK but I think something might be broken.

To report further: changing the import to Windows::Win32::UI::WindowsAndMessaging::* made MB_OK work too!

Can you share your sample? The README doesn't direct you to create a bindings\ folder so it's not clear what your layout is. (build.rs should be at the root of your crate.) I just went through the README and it works fine.

That's an old version of the readme. The current version works fine. It reflects a change made back in June. #843

Closing as it's working as-is. @jlkiri let us know if you're still having trouble.
