Hi

I have a problem with guile-devel.
libguile/root.h exports:
extern SCM scm_sys_protects[];

and #define's each array element as a macro

When trying to compile gnumeric-1.0.8, the build fails with the message:
"variable 'scm_sys_protects' can't be auto-imported."

This is expected, as you cannot auto-import arrays. However, I cannot
find any way of explicitly importing it without breaking the #define'd
elements. Does anyone know how to do this? Or is this a case where the
old-fashioned __declspec(dllimport) decoration is required?

Thanks for any reply,
Steven
