Luabind compile error with XCode 4 targetting iPhone - "reference to 'object' is ambiguous"

[Benjohn Barnes]

Hi,

I've just added Luabind 0.9.1 to a project and tried to compile. I'm getting a pile of errors about "reference to 'object' is ambiguous". Google gives a few other people with the same issue, but no solution, so I'm hoping someone here might have come across this before and solved it?

Thanks,
        Benjohn

hi,
what compiler does your project use? I vaguely remember having problems with clang. Try switching to gcc or get the latest luabind from github. I think the clang build was fixed in master.
hth,
Tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks – you're absolutely right: I'm using clang as that's the XCode default compiler now. The other people I found with the same problem also seemed to be working on iPhone, so probably had the same issue.

I've made a good start on hand writing the bindings, which seems to be teaching me a lot of Lua (and is making me think about the Lua interface, which I've modified from the c++ original). I'll take a look at the latest in github if it gets out of hand though!

Thanks,
        Benjohn
