Replaced K\"{a}hler with Kähler and added the 'kahler' tag. Also fixed up some spacing issues.

On compact Kähler manifold diffeomorphic to complex projective space

In the paper On the complex projective spaces, Hirzebruch and Kodaira prove the following:

If $X$ is compact Kähler manifold diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^n$, then $X$ is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^n$ if $n$ is odd or $n$ is even but $c_1 \neq -(n+1)g$.

Here, $c_1$ is the first Chern class of $X$, and $g$ is a generator of $H^2(X,\mathbb{Z})$ with the same sign as the Kähler class.

My question is: Has the case $X$ is diffeomorphic but not biholomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^n$ with $n$ even and $c_1=-(n+1)g$ been ruled out in the following years? Or do we have some constructions of manifolds of this type?
