I was defining a NSString to use as error domain in NSError and was copying how ASIHttpRequest was doing there's.

NSString* const FPServerAPIErrorDomain = @"FPServerAPIErrorDomain";

I put the const in its own .h file // FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants.h

#ifndef FirePlayer_FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants_h
#define FirePlayer_FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants_h

NSString* const FPServerAPIErrorDomain = @"FPServerAPIErrorDomain";

#endif

but when I included it in more than one .m

SomeFile.m

#import "FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants.h"

SomeOtherFile.m

#import "FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants.h"

I got linker error 'duplicate symbol'

ld: duplicate symbol _FPServerAPIErrorDomain in SomeFile.o and ....SomeOtherFile.o for architecture armv7

so I change the const to #define and it worked ok.

//  FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants.h

#ifndef FirePlayer_FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants_h
#define FirePlayer_FPServerAPICoordinatorConstants_h


//THIS WAS TRIGGERING link errors
//NSString* const FPServerAPIErrorDomain = @"FPServerAPIErrorDomain";
//working OK
#define FPServerAPIErrorDomain @"FPServerAPIErrorDomain"

#endif

But is there a way to get the const in global space not to throw 'duplicate symbol'?
