Hi
I have produced a GPC interface unit for GNU plotutils (courtesy of the "headconv" program). However, there is a problem. Trying to compile a test program gives this error:
"d:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2.3/libgpc.a(init.o): In function `p_initialize': d:/src/mingw/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/p/rts/init.pas:266: multiple definition of `_p_initialize' d:/mingw/lib/libplot.a(p_defplot.o):p_defplot.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here"
"p_defplot.c" has this: void #ifdef _HAVE_PROTOS _p_initialize (S___(Plotter *_plotter)) #else _p_initialize (S___(_plotter)) S___(Plotter *_plotter;) #endif
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Best regards, The Chief

Looking at the source of libplot. The plotter C files are merely prefixed according to types. Thus, at first glance, _p_initialize only effects the "postscript" type plotter. That is why the ada bindings probably separated the plotter types.
Anyway, _p_initialize does not appear to be an essential component of the library. But I've been wrong before (*millions).
