openCL and VC++ 2010 “front end compiler failed build”

I have just begun to learn openCL and coded with VC++ 2010. I have followed this instruction to set up openCL for Visual Studio. Everything is fine except that the paths are a little different for CUDA 5, so I ignored “~\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK\shared\inc”.

Then I compiled some very basic examples with only CL/cl.h and they worked fine. However, when I began to include , I kept receiving the error “fatal error: ‘stdio.h’ file not found”

Here is an exampe (this code is from openCl in Action)

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#define PROGRAM_FILE “matvec.cl”
#define KERNEL_FUNC “matvec_mult”

Please show me how to fix that.

Without seeing your kernel source code, I can only guess, but clBuildProgram should not be giving you any error about not finding stdio.h because it should not be look for it. please don’t put #include<stdio.h> in your .cl file, OpenCL doesn’t know what to do with #include.
