First... http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Second... Every piece of your code that wants to fondle that global needs two things. It needs to know the structure's definition and it needs to know that the global exists. Does every piece of your code have access to this information? Are you getting compilation errors or linking errors? Which you are getting and where they are comming from will tell you precisely why your build is failing. Maybe you should hack out a minimal test-case with two .c files and one common header and see if your assumptions about how this works are correct. It will be easier for you to debug the problem if you boil it down. This *is* a very basic C question you should already know the answer to before you start playing with something like gtk. If your understanding of extern et al is sketchy, I can't imagine life being happier for you once you start getting into the pointers, callbacks and signal/event handling that forms the core of gtk. For what it's worth. Jeff _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
