graphics.h - installed it, why still error?

Question

So i followed instructions from an another question answer in this page about how to install graphics.h And it resulted correctly. But when i included it, it showed me this error message:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\graphics.h|302|error: redefinition of 'int right'|
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\graphics.h|302|note: 'int right' previously declared here|

Why did this happend? Can you please help me fix this problem?

This is where i got the information from: How to use graphics.h in codeblocks?

Could you please share the code where you have declared variable "right"? — Vineet Kumar, Jun 28 '16 at 10:54
my code just prints "graphics" on the screen. I just tested it out. — Orfeo Terkuci, Jun 28 '16 at 10:55
Looks like it points at the same line. Did you include it twice? Does it have a header guard? — Ivan Rubinson, Jun 28 '16 at 10:57
I dont know. My code it 9 lines long total. It seems the problem is inside the library — Orfeo Terkuci, Jun 28 '16 at 10:57
Where did you find this file, and where is the question and answer you mention? You normally can't just drop a header in your include directory and hope that it will work. — molbdnilo, Jun 28 '16 at 10:58

Did you followed the last resolution provided in the link you have specified?

Open the file graphics.h using either of Sublime Text Editor or Notepad++,from the include folder where you have installed Codeblocks.
Goto line no 302
Delete the line and paste int left=0, int top=0, int right=INT_MAX, int bottom=INT_MAX, in that line.
Save the file and start Coding.
