I created a fresh C++ (empty) project in VS2015, and then placed the Eigen 3.3.1 source code in an 'inc' folder in solution dir, such that the path to Matrix.h, for example, is inc/Eigen/Core/. I have set this inc/ path as an additional include directory, and have also tried with inc/Eigen/ as another include directory in case the files had issues including each other, but this changed nothing.
In main.cpp, I have the following:
#include "Eigen/Core/Matrix.h"
int main()
{
return 0;
}
This gives me, when compiling for x64:

Which complains about line 18 of Matrix.h:
#ifndef EIGEN_MATRIX_H
#define EIGEN_MATRIX_H
namespace Eigen {
namespace internal {
template<typename _Scalar, int _Rows, int _Cols, int _Options, int _MaxRows, int _MaxCols>
struct traits<Matrix<_Scalar, _Rows, _Cols, _Options, _MaxRows, _MaxCols> > // line 18
{
private:
// etc...
Similar issues occur with any other Eigen #include. Have I missed some required #include ordering or some compile flag or setting? Thanks!
You must copy the entire Eigen directory not just the src subfolder. And you must not include files from the src subfolder directly, but include the files in the Eigen directory. E.g., #include <Eigen/Core> will include all core functionality, #include <Eigen/Dense> will include all dense functionality (this includes Core, Geometry and the decompositions).
