Hello,
I am very very very new to Unix, but experienced in C. I wasn't sure whether this Message fits the Unix forum (if there's one), or C. But, since it is a compiling Error, I felt it fits here best.

I did a "make", compilation, to a program called ioquake3. I get these errors. I tried to google them. It seems that these errors are caused by double inclusions, or something of the sort.
I tried endlessly to see how to make the write edits to the code. But, I couldn't fix it.

Thank you in advance.

Please identify which is line 40 of file client.h.
coffeenet 14-Oct-11 1:31am    
This is it.
extern CURL* (*qcurl_easy_init)(void);
Richard MacCutchan 14-Oct-11 4:51am    
Looks like CURL is not defined at the time the compiler hits that line. BTW this has nothing to do with UNIX and everything to do with C.
markkuk 13-Oct-11 6:51am    
The file you have included in your question is client/cl_curl.h which isn't mentioned anywhere in the error log. I don't see anything at or near line 40 of the actual client/client.h that could cause the error, so perhaps you have managed to mangle the file beyond repair. Download a clean copy of the source from http://ioquake3.org/get-it/source-codes/ and try again.

C
#ifdef USE_LOCAL_HEADERS
  //#include <../libcurl/curl/curl.h>
#else
  //#include <../libcurl/curl/curl.h>
#endif


You commented out any includes for the CURL definitions. Could it be that the compiler is telling you that things like:
C#
extern CURL* (*qcurl_easy_init)(void);
are using undefined types (CURL). Compilers can easily get confused and spew all sorts of strange error messages when things are undefined in odd places.

I commented out both, because it was already included in another file that includes this one. (sorry don't remember the names.)
Furthermore, I also wanted to test if the errors would change with the comment or not. I simply forgot to un-comment it when I copy/pasted it back in here.
Chuck O'Toole 14-Oct-11 1:47am    
OK but I'd still like to see the definiton of "CURL". It's a user defined type, so what is it?
coffeenet 17-Dec-11 19:39pm    
The problem was extremely simply. The CURLPHP wasnt installed on the machine. After installation, the errors disappeared.
