I think that this will do for Debian purposes: int foo (void) __attribute__((__deprecated__)); Upstream might prefer something like this, though: #if __GNUC__ > 3 || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3 ) # define JACK_DEPRECATED __attribute__((__deprecated__)) #else # define JACK_DEPRECATED #endif int foo (void) JACK_DEPRECATED; (FWIW, xine-lib does this kind of thing.) -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
