I am quickly realising that it is
not so simple as I thought. I am sure it is possible and I think it is worth the hassle to make sure we don’t clash with other
libraries in the future.
One change I believe we can do to fix the immediate problem is to remove the following two lines from projects.h (line 161-162):
typedef</span> <span class="pl-k" style="box-sizing: border-box;">struct</span> { <span class="pl-k" style="box-sizing: border-box;">double</span> u, v; } UV;
<span class="pl-k" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">typedef</span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal;" class=""> </span><span class="pl-k" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">struct</span><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal;" class=""> { </span><span class="pl-k" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">double</span></font><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal;" class=""><font color="#000000" class=""> u, v, w; } UVW;</font>
The build completes and UV/UVW doesn’t get in the way of anything else. Have I overlooked something that hinders this idea?
