I'm not seeing this warning messages.
It appears that smokegen generates the following log file in the build tree (at least on my platform): bindings/qt_gui/smoke/generator.log If your setup does not create that log file with the above contents, maybe the whole thing is an artifact of the really old smokegen version I am using from Debian stable. The smoke-dev-tools package that contains the smokegen application has a Debian version number of 4:4.8.4-1 which means it corresponds to smoke version 4.8.4. > >> which may indicate the current include_directories_LIST variable has >> too many directories or some other fix has to be made to get >> rid of what appear to be warning messages. >> >> Of course, once you are satisfied with the completeness of >> these bindings, I look forward to you adding a number of examples. > > The lisp example in the cl-plplot project now works with these binding, so > from my perspective they work.

Mine might be more recent and I was having the same issues. On which platform did you install it? If you used an official debian or Ubuntu package then dpkg --status smoke-dev-tools gives you the version number (like above). Or you can also get that from dpkg --list |grep smoke > Ok, I will try and contact the developers. Thanks! Hopefully, they will be reasonable and realize this human engineering bugfix will be a huge practical step forward for smokegen since early adopters like you and me will try it, run into this silent error, and normally the response would be to walk away again convinced smokegen is not ready for prime time at all Only because we were lucky did you come up with that symlink fix that was so outrageous that it tweaked my curiosity sufficiently to find the real issue (completely surprising format for -I options) and find a build system workaround for that issue.
