I'm trying to build the Podcatcher application under Symbian^3 and I'm running into a build error:

KLogBufferSize isn't defined in the Podcatcher source at all so it must be redefined somewhere else. I'm a bit lost as to how to figure out where. Has anyone come across this issue before?

[simonm]

I haven't come across this problem myself, but its likely that it's also defined elsewhere in a header that's being pulled in from somewhere else?

There are some likely candidates here, although I couldn't say which one is the problem: http://developer.symbian.org/xref/os...ject=/Symbian3

I would try renaming one of the instances; "KLogBufferSize" is a bit generic as variable names go!

[bdonegan]

By renaming the KLogBufferSize in commsdebugutils.h, I can (obviously) remove this issue. It's a bit crap that I have to go hacking the OS code to get an app to build, but hey - at least it's an option!

[chrisd]

I think this is because public headers are using CDU and flogger together.

See discussion in bug1512 :

[bdonegan]

Yes, I realised this after renaming KLogBufferSize and then running into RFileLogger redefined! So in fact others are having this issue, and in precisely the same way as I am!
