[Xapian-discuss] Compiling Xapian within a Cocoa project

[Tae Won Ha]

Hi, folks.

I don't know much about C++, so please excuse my newbie question: I just tried to include Xapian in a dummy Cocoa project, ie created a new project and added the libxapian.a file installed via MacPorts. When I include xapian.h in an Objective-C++ file (either mm or h), the compilation fails with the following message:

=================

=================

When I create a C++ file (h and cpp) and include xapian.h only in the cpp-file, it compiles fine. Is there something I am missing?

Best,
