Strange compile error in DevC++ & MinGW ?

30 Mar 2004


      I am using DevC++ & MinGW for GRX. If I have a defined constant 'white'
(as a color index) then
attempt to use  GrWhite() a "parse error before numeric constant" is
reported. E.g.

#include <grx20.h>
#include <grxkeys.h>

#define white 0

GrColor White;

int main(void)
{   
 GrSetMode(GR_default_graphics);
 White = GrWhite();/* gives "parse error before numeric constant" */

 /* White = GrAllocColor(255,255,255); */
 return(0);
}

If I remove my 'define' all is well, as is if I use GrAlloc instead of
GrWhite.
