Postby Unicage » 05 Jun 2013 04:06

... ...

checking ole2.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: ole2.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: ole2.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: ole2.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: ole2.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: ole2.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
checking for ole2.h... no
configure: error: required OLE header ole2.h is missing from your system
make: *** [stamp-npapi-configure] Error 1

How to solve this problem, anyone could help me?
