[maemo-developers] [pymaemo] How to add PyModule_AddObject to the override file?

I get this error trying to compile:

mafw.c: In function 'pymafw_register_classes':
mafw.c:1966: error: 'MAFW_TYPE_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTOR_PUBLIC' undeclared
(first use in this function)
mafw.c:1966: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mafw.c:1966: error: for each function it appears in.)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I also did a grep like this: grep -R MAFW_TYPE_ * | grep PLUG
but I couldn't find anything :(

I could try to tell to MAFW guys if they can change their API, but...
I don't think they will do it at this point...

isn't there any other project that uses define-struct? I tried to
google for it too, but I couldn't find anything... maybe it has
another name?

Thanks.
