wx/layout.h error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

I'm building Mediapipe + OpenCV + wxWidges in Bazel.

I've done a lot in setting things up but when I import <wx/wx.h> in my main cpp file I get

Code: Select all

It may be that Absolute is defined elsewhere and hence is the error. Any idea?

wxWidgets v3.2.2.1, Ubuntu 22.04

Update 1.

My guess was correct.

Code: Select all

#define Absolute                1

is defined in "XI.h".

A workaround would be to "undef Absolute" on the user side but this is silly. Please consider another fix.

If there is a name conflict between user code and the library, you should fix that in user code. Maybe you can work around it by just changing the order of #includes?

It's not in the user code, it's in the X11 library as I said.

Anyway, unsettling this define or perhaps playing with the include order will do the trick. A hacky one.
