Using Windows header files within Netbeans 6.8

Question

I'm trying to make an windows application within Netbeans. When using Visual studio it is no problem to use files like tchar.h

I have receaved a basic file structure containing those and I'm trying to get them to work on Netbeans IDE but it seems that Netbeans won't allow using files from Visual Studio.

I have tried to add the tchar.h file and all other file it required (including some C++ core files) and commenting the errors written in those care files:

#error ERROR: Use of C runtime library internal header file.

But netbenas can't find the tchar.h file while being in same folder...

If you're using gcc you might consider using the unix style wide characters instead of the microsoft specific version. Look at wchar.h
