Hi,

Problem:
I have two libraries with two different queue implementations. but with same structure name as "queuetype".

Now if I include both of the header files in my code, compilation will go for toss saying "error: conflicting types for 'queuetype' "

I need to include both the files.

How can I resolve this issue??

Thanks in advance.

Question - are the structures queuetype the same in both files(besides the name)?

If you have control over the source for either library, simply change the name. If you don't have control, that's what I'd call a namespace nightmare. ;)

One way to work around it is by using a wrapper library. The purpose of a wrapper library is to provide exactly the same functionality, with names changed to protect the guilty. All types and functions defer to the wrapped library, so they're nothing more than a slight abstraction to resolve name conflicts.

Are these libraries statically linked or dynamically linked?
