State Changed From-To: open->closed rune(3) is in deprecation mode in 5.x. There's not much point in supporting C++ for deprecated interfaces. |
/usr/include/runetype.h contains declarations for two global variables. But it doesn't have the 'extern "C" { ... }' wrapper for C++; so if a C++ file includes (something which includes...) runetype.h, those two variable names will be mangled and produce 'Undefined symbol' errors at link time. Fix: Add standard C++ 'extern "C" { ... }' wrapper to runetype.h How-To-Repeat: Add '#include <runetype.h>' to any simple C++ program and try to link it
