I'm getting this error wrapping a C++ library:

group.h:41: error: class foo::group
/usr/include/grp.h is pulled in perl.h, so obviously compiling with
-nostdlib is no possible.
If I try to make the type unambiguous by specifying foo::group in the
..xs, then I get typemap problems, which get worse if I include foo::
in group in the typemap as well.
Any suggestions?
You can get this to work with typemaps. Have a look at how Mike
Sheldrake solved this same problem (different symbol; Polygon on win32)
for Math::Clipper. Should have been a few weeks/months ago.
