I am currently porting a c++ application developed in MS VS2005 to linux and unfortunately this is the first time I am doing this. We are using Qt 4.6, Opencascade 6.5.1 and Qwt 6.0.1. Most of the code compiles just fine but at one point we are trying to use X to determine the client screen size and as soon as I am trying to include X libraries i get a ton of errors. The class header contains the following lines:
#ifdef WNT
#include <windows.h>
#else
#include <X11/X.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#endif //WNT
When I have only the #include <X11/X.h> line I get the following errors:
In file included from v0000/plot_curve.h:7,
from v0000/utility.h:9,
from v0000/settings.h:16,

and with the #include <X11/Xlib.h> line only:

from v0000/bounding_box.cpp:17:

The code we need X for is currently deactivated so without the two includes, everything compiles just fine.
I really can't seem to track down the root of the problem. The X include path is correct, sample applications of qt and occ work (so I guess they are using X and the installation should be ok) and I could not find an error with include guards.

It does not help your include problem directly, but QT has a class for determining client screen size, called QDesktopWidget. So you could do something like that:
QDesktopWidget *desktop = QApplication::desktop();
QRect geometry = desktop->availableGeometry();
Or one of the other functions of the class. It allows you to select from multiple screens and access the screen a widget is in.
