#114 Compile Problem with Fedora Core 6

Hello.

I tried to install the MDB Tools but got a compilation error during the make run :

Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Arnaud/Desktop/mdbtools-0.6pre1/src'
Making all in libmdb

Any idea ?

Whatever the problem may have been, it seems to have been fixed in CVS. I don't have the source code for that version at my fingertips or I might speculate what was wrong. I checked the CVS source code and found nothing interesting at backend.c:31. You could probably just add the static keyword to mdbtools.h:150

Try to remove the static keyword before the definition into the backend.c at line 31.

Hope this Help,
