Re: [Swig-user] make for Perl is failing with "Error 1"

[Rob M. <Rob...@ig...>]

Actually, I was mistaken, I wasn't just getting
warnings about the redefinitions, I was getting
errors which was causing the compile to file,
thereby not create the .o file. I created copies
of a whole slew of header files from my library
and modified the files, as well as the appropriate
includes, so that there's no longer a conflict
and now it works.

Even though this isn't the place to complain...
Why doesn't Perl make sure that it keeps its
defines in its own name space? :-)
