Compiling problems with vc++

Eclipsor · 20th July 2006, 10:15 AM

I'm fairly new to c++.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 2000 sp4.

I am trying to compile a program and am getting C3065 undeclared identifier errors. All of the constants it is giving the errors for are defined in a header file which I have included at the top of the file. When I hover the mouse over them VS even brings up the declaration of them from the header file.

Is this likely to be some sort of linking issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Its a bit hard to say with out the code. I don't think it is a linking issue as it sounds like its being picked up by the compiler not the linker. Are you using any #ifndef statements in the header that might have a typo in them? Happened to me once, I just copied it across from a file and forgot to change #ifndef tag, so it was thinking the header had already been included.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure exactly what the problem was. But I created a new VS project copied the text into new files and it works. Go figure.

edit: Cancel that. It was the order of the includes.
