Experiencing this error

[wickedchicken]

Hey @N0crossha1rboy, I haven't looked at this repository in a long time so I'm not sure how much I can help. The first thing I would say is to try and compile using make as described in https://github.com/wickedchicken/sndpeek/blob/master/INSTALL. It looks like you're trying to compile directly with your IDE, and I think the makefile sets up some additional flags and such.

Learning new things.
This is what the output I got from the terminal:

It produced the file chuck_fft.o. Could you help me decode this.

dsound.h is from DirectX, but it's been so long I don't know remember it's normally obtained. Is there an SDK somewhere? I also came across this, but I don't think it's what you want: https://github.com/thestk/rtaudio/blob/master/include/dsound.h.

You got to me first, yes I found that exact file. Just don't know where it goes, doesn't go with src.

This is for C, not C++, but it might help: https://commandlinefanatic.com/cgi-bin/showarticle.cgi?article=art026.
Looking at the Windows makefile, I can see that -I/usr/include/directx/ is passed to the compiler. This means the files should be in /usr/include/directx/, which doesn't really work on a Windows system unless you have something like cygwin. Maybe you can change that -I directive to something such as -IC:/Users/god85/Documents/Coding/sndpeek141/src/sndpeek (I don't know if that's the right syntax) in makefile.win32.

That would make the line something like

INCLUDES=-I../marsyas/ -IC:/Users/god85/Documents/Coding/sndpeek141/src/sndpeek

or even

INCLUDES=-I../marsyas/  -I.

(I don't know if this will work, just a guess. The period . is required).

Thanks for reply, much appreciated.
