C struct members not seen in CINT

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to include a C library into ROOT. In one of the header files,
there is a struct defined :

struct FrameH { 
  unsigned int run;
  unsigned int frame;
  unsigned int GTimeS;
  unsigned int GTimeN;
  unsigned short ULeapS;
  int localTime;
  double dt;
  struct FrVect *type;
  };

This, in turn, is used as the output of a function FrameHNew which I
want to use interactively :

struct FrameH *FrameHNew(char *name);

I build my linkdef file, ran rootcint (with a -p option) and everything
seemed to work.

if I define a FrameH struct and call FrameHNew, it seems OK. But if I
try to see an element of FrameH, for example

root [1] FrameH *frame
root [2] frame = FrameHNew("demo");
root [3] frame->run
Error: No symbol frame->run in current scope  FILE:/tmp/daaaapuza LINE:1
*** Interpreter error recovered ***

So I tried to include FrameL.h, the original header file. but that
doesn't work because I have to use the -p option :

root [0] #include "FrameL.h"
Limitation: can not handle macro FRAMELIB_DEFINED DONE Use +P or -p
option
 FILE:../FrameLSrc/FrameL.h LINE:10

I tried various options in rootcint but this doesn't seem to help

How can I send, in the interactive environement, the -p option to the
interpreter ?
Is it the right thing to do ?

How can I have access to the contents of my struct FrameH without
loading anything, since I supposed it was already loaded in the shared
library I made ?
