Hi


I can not compile any my project in Debian Squeeze with headers in package
libavifile-0.7-dev (0.7.48). But this project compile
normally in Debian Lenny with libavifile-0.7-dev (0.7.47).


C++ code:
-----8<-----

#include <avifile-0.7/avifile.h>
#include <avifile-0.7/version.h>

#if AVIFILE_MINOR_VERSION > 6
#include <avifile-0.7/avm_default.h>
#else
#include <avifile-0.7/default.h>
#endif

#include <avifile-0.7/image.h>
#include <avifile-0.7/infotypes.h>
#include <avifile-0.7/StreamInfo.h>

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/types.h>

...

StreamInfo *m_streaminfo; // Error in this string

-----8<-----


Error:

./Render/video/stVideoRenderAviLinux.h:81: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration
of ‘StreamInfo’ with no type
./Render/video/stVideoRenderAviLinux.h:81: error: expected ‘;’ before
‘*’ token


This error generate in g++-4.1, g++-4.3 and g++-4.4 compiler.


Solution:

Add typedef StreamInfo in namespace "avm" in tail of file
/usr/include/avifile-0.7/StreamInfo.h, as it
maked in 0.7.47 version.


Before correction:



-----8<-----

AVM_END_NAMESPACE;

#endif // AVIFILE_STREAMINFO_H



-----8<-----


After correction:



-----8<-----

AVM_END_NAMESPACE;

#ifdef AVM_COMPATIBLE
typedef avm::StreamInfo StreamInfo;
#endif

#endif // AVIFILE_STREAMINFO_H

Hi Сергей,

From http://bugs.debian.org/610500
I'd like to confirm that if this is really a bug.

Shouldn't you use avm::StreamInfo or "using namespace avm" in your
project rather than export the type?

Yours Sincerely,
Paul

OK.
I think we can lower this bug's severity to wishlist.
It's not really a bug.
New apps should use avm::StreamInfo instead of just "StreamInfo" for
avifile 0.7.48.
Porting to new lib isn't hard at all.

Regards,
Paul
