I am encountering the following errors while trying to compile a sunview
program on a Sun 4.


Can anyone tell me if this is a compiler error?

"/usr/include/sunwindow/attr.h", line 183: error: non-int field
"/usr/include/sunwindow/attr.h", line 185: error: non-int field
"/usr/include/sunwindow/attr.h", line 186: error: non-int field
"/usr/include/sunwindow/attr.h", line 188: error: non-int field


typedef union {
    struct {
        Attr_pkg                pkg             : 8; /* Line 183 */
        unsigned                ordinal         : 8; 
        Attr_list_type          list_type       : 2; /* Line 184 */
        Attr_list_ptr_type      list_ptr_type   : 1; /* Line 185 */
        unsigned                spare1          : 1; 
        Attr_base_type          base_type       : 7; /* Line 188 */
        unsigned                spare2          : 1;  
        unsigned                cardinality     : 4;
    }                   info;
    Attr_attribute      code;
} Attr_union;


also the following line
        err_frame=(Frame) window_create(NULL,FRAME,
          WIN_X,0,
          WIN_Y,0,
          WIN_WIDTH,1152,
          WIN_HEIGHT,35,
          FRAME_SHOW_LABEL,FALSE,
          WIN_SHOW, FALSE,
    0);
results in the following error


"error.cc", line 34: error: unexpected  1 argument for window_create()


window create is declared in the header file
window.h as
extern Window	window_create();

with no parameters specified. 

is there anyway to get around this in c++ without redefining the function as

extern Window	window_create(...);  


Thanks
