No - they are part of a specific package. Nothing standard about them as
far as the C language goes.

I do wonder whether you'd get better help about developing with this
package by posting to a forum specifically for it, rather than a general
C newsgroup. Looking here <http://www.libspf2.org/support.html> suggests
some possibilities.


But that is not a group of programmers.

It very like is, and it's probably a group of people who have developed with this library and these header files. But if you don't want my advice it hasn't cost you anything.

I simply wanted to know what
this error means
error: expected ')' before '*' token

It means the compiler expected something in parentheses to have been completed, and the closing parenthesis supplied, before a '*' on line 42.

Definetly it loooks like a syntax error , but there is absolutely no
error on that line

Have you examined the code which the compiler is compiling?

I suggest you run the gcc compiler with whatever option will show you the results of the precompiler - perhaps "-E". Examine that code and work backwards.
