Hi,

I am getting the following error when compiling a c++ source:

/d/Temp/ccuwCNBi.s: Assembler messages:
/d/Temp/ccuwCNBi.s:11: Error: symbol `_D' is already defined

==snip==

extern "C" {
__attribute__((dllimport)) Dtmethod_t* Dtset;
__attribute__((dllimport)) Dtmethod_t* Dtbag;
}



add explicit extern to  your declarations of extern variables, eg:
extern __attribute__((dllimport)) Dtmethod_t* Dtset;

This is fixed in CVS sources: __attribute__((dllimport)) implicitly adds
extern.

Danny
