How to config the headers in QtCreator?

Hi! The error seems to come from a couple of missing compile flags. If you are not using CMake, you should add the following to the MSVC compiler:

• flag /permissive- for and/or logical operators
• flag /EHsc for try/catch without warnings (I believe)
• definition /D NOMINMAX for std::min and std::max to work as expected

These flags are applied and propagated as necessary when using CMake here. The full set of flags added by CMake and MSVC can be seen in the github actions build output:

cl /c /ID:\a\h5pp\h5pp\include /IC:\Users\runneradmin\.conan\data\eigen\3.4.0\_\_\package\5ab84d6acfe1f23c4fae0ab88f26e3a396351ac9\include\eigen3 /IC:\Users\runneradmin\.conan\data\spdlog\1.9.2\_\_\package\5b1df17eadd1f81a71020461515f4af1686e577d\include /IC:\Users\runneradmin\.conan\data\fmt\8.0.1\_\_\package\157b7622dba188aff47602e51eaebfda53684339\include /IC:\Users\runneradmin\.conan\data\hdf5\1.12.0\_\_\package\83d29b61affb54f49fd1478ec437e6a0d8cfba27\include /IC:\Users\runneradmin\.conan\data\hdf5\1.12.0\_\_\package\83d29b61affb54f49fd1478ec437e6a0d8cfba27\include\hdf5 /IC:\Users\runneradmin\.conan\data\zlib\1.2.11\_\_\package\d057732059ea44a47760900cb5e4855d2bea8714\include /Zi /W1 /WX- /diagnostics:column /Od /Ob0 /D _MBCS /D WIN32 /D _WINDOWS /D SPDLOG_COMPILED_LIB /D SPDLOG_FMT_EXTERNAL /D NOMINMAX /D "CMAKE_INTDIR=\"Debug\"" /Gm- /EHsc /RTC1 /MDd /GS /fp:precise /permissive- /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /Zc:inline /GR /std:c++17 /Fo"h5pp-example-01c-struct-simple.dir\Debug\\" /Fd"h5pp-example-01c-struct-simple.dir\Debug\vc142.pdb" /external:W1 /Gd /TP /errorReport:queue "D:\a\h5pp\h5pp\examples\example-01c-struct-simple.cpp"

I should probably mention all this in the README. Please tell me if the flags above fixes the issue.

Thanks for your help!
After adding the flags, It is working now.

Great! I'll add the steps to the readme.
