conflicts with new declaration with 'C' linkage

Hi,

I am still trying to build VCL (0.8.6c) for WinCE with cegcc. I am facing this error I cannot solve... :

In file included from dialogs.cpp:38:
/opt/cegcc/lib/gcc/arm-wince-cegcc/4.1.0/../../../../arm-wince-cegcc/lib/../include/w32api/shlobj.h:1483:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
/opt/cegcc/lib/gcc/arm-wince-cegcc/4.1.0/../../../../arm-wince-cegcc/include/tcscpy.h:6: error: previous declaration of '_TCHAR* wcscpy(_TCHAR*, const _TCHAR*)' with 'C++' linkage
/opt/cegcc/lib/gcc/arm-wince-cegcc/4.1.0/../../../../arm-wince-cegcc/include/wchar.h:60: error: conflicts with new declaration with 'C' linkage

I am unable to say what is wrong in the header's functions declaration...

Thanks !

Alright, a solution would be to use the extern "C" command :

Code: Select all

/* $Id: tcscpy.h 21683 2006-04-21 15:15:18Z peterw $ */ #include <tchar.h> extern "C"{ _TCHAR * _tcscpy(_TCHAR * to, const _TCHAR * from) { _TCHAR *save = to; for (; (*to = *from); ++from, ++to); return save; } }

It compiles this way...
