Automake normally defines the macros PACKAGE and VERSION in the configuration header. You can avoid that by adding the option "no-define" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(). However, gstreamermm should not define something with a name that has such a high probability of clashing. > I don't understand how that constant could be causing a problem since it > is declared in a namespace, namely "Tag". VERSION is a macro, so it's not namespaced. Also, objects that need a constructor to run should not be defined in header files, with some rare exceptions. Not to mention that the definition should have gone into the source file rather than the header, as a Glib::ustring is no longer a simple value constant. I think these constants should probably be mapped to enums, and the corresponding name strings looked up when doing the conversion from C++ to C argument types. --Daniel _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
