We like to see real compiler output, or better have a *small* code example so that we can try it ourselves. > As for your "minimal, complete single-file implementation", I have posted the > entire file. I really don't see what seems to be the problem here. ... but you know that there is a difference between *minimal* and "entire file", don't you ? ;-) > I have stated the problem VERY clearly, many times.

When you're asked questions about details or when you're given some advice, please (try to) do what you're asked to help us to help you. That said, see what I consider a minimal example that shows the error in your case (2 lines): #include <FL/Fl_Text_Display.H> Fl_Group *grp1; Compiler errors, using current MinGW (g++ 4.6.2): $ g++ -c tx1.cxx `fltk-config --cxxflags` tx1.cxx:2:11: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant tx1.cxx:2:11: error: expected initializer before numeric constant Yes, I can reproduce it with my configuration, and it turns out that the following is an even shorter example code ( but also 2 lines): #include <windows.h> int *grp1; $ g++ -c tx1.cxx tx1.cxx:2:6: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant tx1.cxx:2:6: error: expected initializer before numeric constant So it turns out that it is not a FLTK problem. MinGW's windows.h file includes (among others) <dlgs.h>, and in this file, there is: #define grp1 0x430 #define grp2 0x431 #define grp3 0x432 #define grp4 0x433 Hence the solution is easy: don't use "grp1" - "grp4" as variable names, or complain at Microsoft or the MinGW maintainers, whoever is responsible for this mess... ... or do, as suggested by Greg, and add #ifdef grp1 // or maybe WIN32 #undef grp1 #undef grp2 #undef grp3 #undef grp4 #endif after all the include files.
