Hi all,
I'm trying to port over a game engine, and it compiles fine as a library, but when I try out the sample code, i get the error:

Sounds like u8 is defined more than once. Check all your includes for definitions of u8.

Odd though that it only shows one candidate. Are you using any other high level libraries that might define u8 like psptypes.h does?

Another thing I notice is this is a cpp file. Are the others that compile also cpp or just c?

Everything else is in cpp (if you're talking about just the sample code with the compiled library) , and yes I am using a custom defined typedef that is provided by the game engine. My output from psp-g++ is listed on http://pastebin.com/m1c4fa721 for brevity's sake

psptypes.h defines a u8 typedef. If your library also defines one, you'll need to comment one or the other out (or wrap them in #ifdefs) so that you only have one definition.

EDIT: Or of course, if it's defined in a class use Class::u8. same if you are "using Namespace;"

Yes, and you are likely doing "using TestEngine;", therefore colliding your name space with global.

Just qualify your declarations with TestEngine::u8 var; and you'll be fine.

Or you can comment the declaration out of psptypes.h.

EDIT: of course.... that's a whole other can of worms :)

EDIT: global search and replace, with confirmation is your friend :)
