Multiply defined symbol means there are many object modules providing the same symbol. This often happens because variable is declared in header without ‘extern’. gcc 10 did switch on that warning - it was off in previous versions. Many third party packages already have this fixed, so you may want to check for updates…. rgds, toomas _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
