I've wrapped code inside avbin.h into extern "C" block following the
excellent explanation from
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/mixing-c-and-cpp.html but it still
doesn't help.

The problem is that Shiboken was meant to be used to wrap C++ code, not C,

Do you mean that if I execute `shiboken lib/AVbin/include/avbin.h
typesystem.xml` shiboken can not detect if avbin.h is C or C++ header?

All logs look the same: http://paste.kde.org/159104/
I've specified --debug-level=full but it added only one line to console
output that doesn't explain anything:
DEBUG :: Parsed: 'typesystem.xml', 2 new entries
