Thank you for your reply. My mistake - I meant Realloc (missed the 'e'). This morning I reinstalled MinGW with all the patches suggested by the Install R on Windows Help page, including w32api-3.7, just to make sure all was as it should be. I have put
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN at the top of my cpp file (which I did not know about so that was interesting) but it is still saying there is a conflict between Realloc in objidl.h and windows.h. Interesting I had a C file which I _did_ manage to compile with the R.h and windows.h file in without this error coming up. Could there be something going on with g++ that gcc is ignoring? I am no sure it iss a clash now as I cannot find Realloc in the R includes but below is some output I have gathered which may be of assistance. In objidl.h (line 532): STDMETHOD_(void*,Realloc)(THIS_ void*,ULONG) PURE; In R.h it has the solitary line: /* for PROBLEM ... Calloc, Realloc, Free, Memcpy, F77_xxxx */ Can only find a R_alloc but no Realloc. ======ERROR MSG OUTPUT============== $ R CMD SHLIB callcdeclcall.cpp making callcdeclcall.d from callcdeclcall.cpp In file included from c:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/objbase.h:73, from c:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/ole2.h:9, from c:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/windows.h:111, from callcdeclcall.cpp:4: c:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/objidl.h:532:45: macro "Realloc" requires 3 arguments, but only 2 given make: *** [callcdeclcall.d] Error 1 ======END ERROR MSG OUTPUT============== Headers in CPP file are: #include <R.h> #include <Rinternals.h> #include <Rdefines.h> #include <windows.h> #include <cstdio> Thanks, Tom On Wed, 22 Nov 2006 21:21:15 -0000, Prof Brian Ripley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Where exactly did you get windows.h from?
