Here it is: first the relevant snip from my header file (common.h), and then the
compilers pain.
[common.h]
...
//this is where i include the header that make life hard :)
#ifdef HAVE_WINDOWS_H
#include <windows.h>
#endif
...
//this is where the errors occur.
/*other*/
int max(const int value_a, const int value_b); //line 283
int min(const int value_a, const int value_b); //line 284
string itoa(const int value, const short fix=0); //line 285
...
[compiler output]

Hope this sheds some light.
