Description Marcel Karras 2003-11-11 21:28:02 UTC 
If I compile my project the following error will appear:

Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2003-11-12 13:43:33 UTC 
On irc you mentioned that this had something to do with opensll. Do I
remember that correctly?

gtkmm is certainly not meaning to call any part of the openssl API.
This is the code on that line:
  void set_key (guint index_, guint keyval, ModifierType modifiers);

I guess that a public openssl header defines a C macro as set_key().
That would be a terrible opensll bug that you must tell them about ASAP.

You can test this theory by just #including your openssl header in any
gtkmm example. Please do tell me what you find out.

Does that make sense?
Comment 3 Murray Cumming 2003-11-23 16:30:56 UTC 
Closing, due to lack of response, and almost certainty that this is a
ridiculous bug in openssl, and because gtkmm does not use openssl at all.
Comment 4 Marcel Karras 2004-01-20 22:10:03 UTC 
I forwarded the problem to openssl-dev mailinglist and will refresh
the bug summary if there's a statement.
