I wanted to use SFML's networking module, but it seems there are some compatibility issues with WinAPI.
The first issue, which I guess you know about, is that you must include <SFML/Network.hpp> before <windows.h> or it won't compile (some symbols are redefined).
However, if you include SFML first, the functions in the WinAPI header are no longer available. I tried to use ShellExecute, for example, and compiler cannot find the function declared anywhere.
Is there a way to solve this?
Or is there a way to run shell commands from SFML?
