Nice one I found it:


#ifdef __GEMLIB_OLDNAMES

/* object flags */
#define NONE                    0x0000  /**< TODO */
#define SELECTABLE              0x0001  /**< TODO */
#define DEFAULT                 0x0002  /**< TODO */
#define EXIT                    0x0004  /**< TODO */
#define EDITABLE                0x0008  /**< TODO */

so I added

#define __GEMLIB_OLDNAMES
#include <gem.h>

and that has cleared those errors.

This might be a long exercise but I will learn a lot I hope.

Thanks,
