how can i get rid of the following error: initializer element is not a constant?

i use nios ii ide in the c programming language.

before i had the code:

# define ip1 134# define ip2 35# define ip3 134# define ip4 112

.

.

.

const struct ip_settings eth_ip =

{

interfacetype, ((uint32) ip4<<24 | ((uint32) ip3 <<16) | ((uint32)ip2<<8) |((uint32) ip1 <<0))

}

now i want to reload the values for ip1, ip2,ip3 and ip4 during operation.

so i put:

int ip1 = 134;

int ip2 = 35;

int ip3 = 134;

int ip4 = 112;

instead of the defines.

compiling this leads to the error "initializer element is not a constant" http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/sad.gif how do i get around without this error message?

thanks for your help in advance.

look at the "const" before your variable inistialization.
