-#define VecType char* +typedef const char* VecType; -EXTERN PetscErrorCode PETSCVEC_DLLEXPORT VecGetType(Vec, const VecType *); +EXTERN PetscErrorCode PETSCVEC_DLLEXPORT VecGetType(Vec, VecType *); The above type of change [i.e 'const VecType' to 'VecType'] gets src/vec/vec/interface sources compiled..
