How to get the emgucv compiled on my Ubuntu 18.04? It is said to support Ubuntu

First I am not very familiar with C++ compile process, but I have to compile the emgucv repository on Ubuntu 18.04. I follow the instruction and try to figure out things by searching through Stack Exchange.

I got every dependencies setup, then the only file I need to execute is this one.

Although it is written for 16.04, seems to work for 18.04, but the compilation throws an error. It says _MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_PATH, DWORD, errno_t, etc. are not declared. As suggested by the comment, they are Windows-specific. The error occurs in this file. And the module that contains this file is this.

16.04

18.04

_MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_PATH, DWORD, errno_t

My question is how to get this compiled on Ubuntu 18.04? I am very confused, since Emgucv says they support Linux (instruction at the end), and I believe others could have successfully compiled it on their Linux. I attempted to replace those constants _MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_PATH by just numbers, the DWORD by unsigned long, and errno_t by int, then it says now GetModuleFileName, _splitpath_s are not declared. I don't know how to do. Is there anyway for this to work for Ubuntu?

_MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_PATH

DWORD

unsigned long

errno_t

int

GetModuleFileName, _splitpath_s
