错误：在“*”标记之前应有“=”、“、”、“;”、“asm”或“__attribute__”

Question

I am very very very new to Unix, but experienced in C. I wasn't sure whether this Message fits the Unix forum (if there's one), or C. But, since it is a compiling Error, I felt it fits here best.

I did a "make", compilation, to a program called ioquake3. I get these errors. I tried to google them. It seems that these errors are caused by double inclusions, or something of the sort. I tried endlessly to see how to make the write edits to the code. But, I couldn't fix it.

Thank you in advance.

Language C Linux

In gcc , the error:

expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token

is often associated with an typedef that isn't in scope when you use it. For example, the following program:

mytype fn(int n) { return (mytype)n; }
int main(void) { return 0; }

generates this error when you try to compile it:

prog.c:2: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'fn'

If you insert the line typedef int mytype; at the top of the file, it compiles okay.

Now it's a little hard to discern which precise lines in your code map to the line numbers listed in the errors, but my first guess would be that you do not include the CURL header files. This seems to be the case as you have lines like:

extern CURL* (*qcurl_easy_init)(void);

but nowhere do you appear to include a header file that would give you a definition for the CURL type.

You do have the following code:

#ifdef USE_LOCAL_HEADERS
  //#include <../libcurl/curl/curl.h>
#else
  //#include <../libcurl/curl/curl.h>
#endif

but this looks like you've copied these from a "view source" representation of a web page and just commented them out when they didn't work. What you probably need is something like:

  #include <../libcurl/curl/curl.h>

adjusting, of course, for the actual location of the header file.
