I am newable in Mac Os. I have tried to port my Linux application to MAC using XCode. In my project
I used some Xlib functions . But when I tried to include


#include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>

to my existing  file which also contains
#include <X11/Xlib.h>

it shows some errors like

error:conflicting type for 'struct Cursor'
error: previous declaration as 'typedef XID Cursor'

It is somewhat unusual to use OS X specific code like Carbon and ApplicationServices in a "port". You should be able to get the program working with relatively small changes given that it will retain its X11 user-interface.


But if you really need to have the headers included all in the same file, you could use the standard trick of #define-ing one of the conflicting symbols to be something different.
E.g.:
#define Cursor X11_Cursor
#include <X11/X11.h>
#undef Cursor


and then use "X11_Cursor" in your code if you need the X11 Cursor type.
