Re: [odb-users] error: redefinition of ‘bool odb::create_schema

[WA van Doesburg]

Hello Boris,

Thank you for your replying to my question.

I’ve checked the generated code. The function signature is indeed

static bool
create_schema (...)

My platform is Ubuntu 12.04 and my compiler version is:
c++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3
