Yes, using "#undef IN" after the inclusion of WinDef.h works, but it seems like a bit of a hack. By getting "those who wrote it to fix it", if you mean WinDef.h, it's a header from Visual Studio. Somehow, I doubt that I could get Microsoft to "fix" that header. I'd still like to understand why defining YYTOKENTYPE on the command line broke the link. It sure looks like the code was written to give this option to not include the enum.
