Im sure this is sooooo dumb, yet...

Im trying to get the code to allow me to dynamically create tmds to
work. there seems to be just one problem though, and seeing as my
knowledge of ansi c and error messages is terrible, i was wondering if
anyone could help me overcome this compile time error i get.

// **** Global variables
#define       SizeTMD_Header            (sizeof(TMD_Header))
#define       SizeTMD_Object            (sizeof(TMD_Object))
#define       SizePRIM_Header           (sizeof(PRIM_Header))
#define       SizeTMD_3_Flat            (sizeof(TMD_3_Flat))

#define       SizeVertex                (sizeof(Vertex))
#define       SizeNormal                (sizeof(Normal))
#define       SizePadding               (20)

const int     SizeWorkSpace =
                SizeTMD_Header +
                SizeTMD_Object +
                SizePRIM_Header +
                SizeTMD_3_Flat +
                (SizeVertex*4) +
                (SizeNormal*4) +
                SizePadding;

static u_char WorkSpace[SizeWorkSpace]; // error here

but this leads to the error as follows -

variable-size type declared outside of any function

I think I know what this means, but surely it shouldnt happen when Im
defining the size of the array based on a const? Im sure this is a
really simple problem, and I hope you can help!
