Title: Linking a header worked until modified
Post by: skr on November 23, 2013, 10:39:15 pm
I am attempting to link a simple header file to my main and cpp programs. I transported the project from another machine and was working after I linked the project through build options. HOWEVER when I added another variable and function to the header, the cpp file does not recognize this addition. I rebulit--no luck. I removed the include and readded--no luck.

Obviously, I am making some error in linking. Suggestions?

Turn on Full Compile Logging post a full re-build log in this thread and find a basic C programming site that helps newbies learn to program.
This site is NOT to teach programming. http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F)

Learn the difference between linking and Compiling!

Make sure you created a CB Project and added the header file you created to the project.
Make sure you do a re-build instead of a build when you have issues like you posted!

Thanks for your standard response--seen it BEFORE I posted. I have read, and I have rebuilt and I obviously have a header file if it worked BEFORE I modified it. My issue, I fear is not one with programming--done this same link-compile-dance in many different forms in many different environments. The issue I have is CodeBlocks and how IT links and builds. Sorry to have troubled you.

obviously you can't read:

also here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F

you should also consider to refresh your programming skills, because i don't think you can link a .h file...

So if you positive you DID everything right; then it must be working!

So goodbye.

FYI: I do ask for a full re-build log almost every time a newbie posts because normally they did something simple wrong that looking at a full build log shows; Why Why Why did you NOT post a full rebuild log in the first post??
