Question
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:

Russian#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:

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.
//edit as requested, here is the source code of the files in which the errors occur:

Solution 2
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.
OTHER TIPS
With the following includes:
#include <X11/X.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
I needed to undef a few definitions:
#undef Bool
#undef CursorShape
#undef Expose
#undef KeyPress
#undef KeyRelease
#undef FocusIn
#undef FocusOut
#undef FontChange
#undef None
#undef Status
#undef Unsorted
Of course add LIBS += -lX11 in your .pro file, and you are good to go!
Have you checked to make sure that Qt is not defining types that X11 requires, such as Bool?
Take a look at Compiler does not see QX11Info as this covers a common problem when including X11 with Qt.
You may need to undef more than just Bool.
