<dirent.h> in visual studio 2010 or 2008
Because this header file doesn't come with MSVC. Hence it cannot find it!
It comes with C POSIX library. The wikipedia says,
dirent.h is known to be included in the following compilers:
- Turbo C++ (DOS)
- GCC (Cross-platform)
- MinGW (Microsoft Windows)
- Borland C++ Builder (Microsoft Windows)
Microsoft Visual C++ does not include dirent.h
However, you can download free Windows implementation of dirent.h which you can use with Microsoft Visual Studio.
