I am not an expert in GLIB, but, following your suggestion, I have added the following variables. Notice that it is similar to the one in your example. -------- gchar strMsg; strMsg = g_strdup("Under Comstruction ... "); -------- However, this statement gives me an error that reads: main.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)': main.cpp:25: error: invalid conversion from `gchar*' to `gchar' main.cpp:83: error: invalid conversion from `gchar' to `void*' main.cpp:83: error: initializing argument 1 of `void g_free(void*)' make.exe: *** [main.o] Error 1 Execution terminated ------------- What am I doing wrong?
