[ENet-discuss] Enet Installation and C++

[Charlie Sibbach]

No good either. We did investigate this as a potential solution; and to be 
thorough I tried it again this morning with all the -L and -l and whatnots. 
Still the same errors. I added this to the "Hello world" program in the 
off-chance that it might work:

extern "C" {
#include <enet.h>
}

I didn't work. I investigated all the enet header files, they already 
include this:

#ifdef _cplusplus // or equivalent, I'm doing this from memory
extern "C" {
#endif
// + same for ending brace

So the C linkage should already be accounted for.
Darn good idea though, thank you!

So, the question is still out there, any other ideas (besides just adding 
and modding all the source to make it part of my project)?
