[linux-audio-dev] Problem compiling with liblo: error: 'lo_address' does not name a type

[Frank Barknecht]

Hallo,

while trying to build Dave Griffith's fluxus, which uses liblo, on
Debian, I've hit a very strange error. It boils down to g++ not
finding the symbols exported in lo/lo.h. I stripped down the code,
where it fails to this supershort C++-file: 

// --------------
// OSCServer.cpp
// 

#include <lo/lo.h>
lo_address m_Destination;

// ---------- end

Trying to compile this with 

$ g++ -c OSCServer.cpp

will give these errors: 

$ g++-3.2  -c OSCServer.cpp
OSCServer.cpp:2: 'lo_address' is used as a type, but is not defined as
a type.

$ g++-3.3  -c OSCServer.cpp
OSCServer.cpp:2: error: 'lo_address' is used as a type, but is not
defined as a type.

$ g++-4.0  -c OSCServer.cpp
OSCServer.cpp:2: error: 'lo_address' does not name a type

liblo is installed from the Debian package: 
ii  liblo0-dev   0.22-1      Lightweight OSC library --development files

I think, g++ finds <lo/lo.h>, otherwise it should complain about a missing
header, but then it doesn't want to use it. 

Does anyone have an idea, what is going wrong here? 

Ciao
