[erlang-questions] diameter circular inherits

[Ferrer Guasch Vicent]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile some 3GPP diameter applications.  The problem I have is that those standards have circular definitions between them. They have their own definitions and reused definitions from other standards. 

Below I included a simple example: To compile the Rx application I need the Gx beam and to compile the Gx application I need the Rx beam, this is because diameterc requires the beam file from the inherits. The module  diameter_make also has the same restriction.

I don't see any clear way to solve this issue without modifying the dictionaries. I could avoid the @inherits and define the AVPs locally, but some types are not so easy as the ones shown here and I would like to avoid defining AVPs twice. Am I missing something? Any idea on how to compile these?

Thanks in advance,
Vicent
