[Java-gnome-developer] macro compile problem

[Darren S. <dar...@e-...>]

Hi,

I'm new to the list and very interested in java-gnome. I'm a keen Java
coder and
would love to do some Gnome apps, but I don't have time to learn c++ so
this
project is a godsend. Well done folks!

I installed the 0.5.0 binary rpm which seems to work ok, but I'd really
like to
try 0.6.0 or later for the Glade support (mmmm...). The trouble is, I'm
having
problems compiling.

The compilor (or preprocessor) seems to have problems with the JNIEXPORT
macro.
Wherever it appears, I get "syntax error before `jint'". The path to my
jni.h
and jni_md.h are definately given correctly in the gcc commandline, and my
jni_md.h gives this...

#define JNIEXPORT
#define JNICALL

I don't know much (any) about gcc or macros or much, so sorry that this
isn't 
specifically a java-gnome issue, but I'd appreciate any help to get this
thing
working. Alternatively, a binary RPM of 0.6.0 would go down well (...)

My system:

RedHat 7.0
IBM SDK 1.1.8
gcc 2.96-69
cpp 2.96-69
glibc-devel 2.2-12
libstdc++-devel 2.96-69

Don't know what else you might want to know...

Thanks,

Darren Scott
