Solution
________________________________________________________________________
If you are trying to #include C header files into C++ code, and using code such as the following:
extern "C" {
#include "libavcodec/avcodec.h>"
#include "libavformat/avformat.h"
}
You may see errors such as:
C:/QNX632/target/qnx6/usr/include/math.h:139: error: template with C linkage
This is occurring because the QNX standard headers frequently have extern "C" ifdef'd in if being compiled as C++. The extern "C" cannot be nested.
The solution is to #include the standard C header that is giving the error, e.g. math.h, before the extern "C".
