[SOLVED] Fail to Build with Error C2589 in Rect.inl

[keishimon]

I fail to build my VS solution with compile error C2589 in Rect.inl.
Someone please guide me how to fix.

The only two error messages when I try to build are follows :
C:\SFML\SFML-2.5.1\include\SFML\Graphics\Rect.inl(81,19): error C2589: '(': illegal token on right side of '::'.
C:\SFML\SFML-2.5.1\include\SFML\Graphics\Rect.inl(114,21): error C2589: '(': illegal token on right side of '::'

I use Visual Vtudio 2019 Community Edition and SFML 2.5.1 static ver.
I have set up following this tutorial https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/start-vc.php and successfully compiled and ran the test code.

I include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>, declare using namespace sf; and use classes RenderWindow, VideoMode, Texture, Sprite, IntRect, Clock, Event, and Keyboard (I might overlook though).

Did you include windows.h? If so, you need to first define NOMINMAX, so the header doesn't define min/max macros, destroying every usage of std::min/std::max.

Thank you!
As you mentioned #define NOMINMAX prior to windows.h fixed the compiler error
