Hi Dirk,

This is a problem with how and which header files the generator picks 
up. the toChar method stems from QByteArray::toUShort() which returns a 
ushort. The method is rejected, as you can probably see in the generator 
output, as a result of ushort being an undefined type. "ushort" is 
declared in qglobal.h so any Qt header will have it.

You can see how the preprocessor output looks, by looking at the 
JAMBI/generator/.preprocessor.tmp file and see which qglobal.h it 
includes, my guess is its the wrong one.

The build options we use to build the binary packages are:

./configure -no-qt3support -release -shared -prefix $PWD -no-sql-sqlite2 
-no-mmx -no-3dnow -no-sse -no-sse2 -D QT_JAMBI_BUILD

Using those, might also help a bit.

best regards,
Gunnar
