Cannot use QuickTime functions in a plain C++ application

Question

Hi,
Im new to QuickTime.Now i need to use quicktime7.1 SDK functionalities in my plain C++ application.Hence I started with a plain C++ application just to check whether i can access the quick time functions there.Im currently using Dev-cpp IDE for developing my application.
Given the sample code.
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<QuickTime.h>
using namespace std;
main()
int ver=0;
ver=quicktime_major(void);
cout<<"VERSION"<<ver;
getch();
The given program uses the quicktime function quicktime__major to get the version information.The function returns an integer value,which is the version of the quicktime installed.The function is declared with in the header quicktime.h.Hence i added the header file.
On Compiling,I am getting some errors in the main function as listed :-
main.cpp: In function `int main()':
main.cpp:9: error: expected primary-expression before "void"
main.cpp:9: error: `quicktime_major' undeclared (first use this function)
main.cpp:9: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)make.exe: * [main.o]
Error 1Execution terminated
I am getting so many other errors in the quicktime header files which i am not able to get resolved.Some sample errors are listed below.
C:/Program Files/QuickTime SDK/CIncludes/ATSUnicode.h:145: error: conflicting declaration 'kATSULineWidthTag'
C:/Program Files/QuickTime SDK/CIncludes/ATSUnicode.h:145: error: 'kATSULineWidthTag' has a previous declaration as

C:/Program Files/QuickTime SDK/CIncludes/ATSUnicode.h:145: error: conflicts with previous declaration `<anonymous enum>
kATSULineWidthTag'
[this same error is repeating for all the enum members in the header file ATSUnicode.h ]

Can anyone help me to resolve the above issues?
Thanks in advance,

There is a good KnowledgeBase at NI home page talking about that issue.
If you go to www.ni.com and type +ni-daq +run +borland at the search engine of the page, the second result is the link to the KB I'm referring to.
Hope this helps.
