I have a header file for my program. If i use more then one cpp file that #include this header it says ''SOMETHING IN HEADER allready defined in THE OTHER CPP FILE'' to prevent this i usually type #ifndef HEADERNAME #defire HEADERNAME ... stuff in header #endif this doesn''t seem to work

It''s been a while since i''ve been coding, so please help me with this stupid problem. Marty

Try putting the function definentions in a different cpp file (just add that one to your project).

I''m not sure what u mean? Should i rip all the function definitions out of the header and leave ''m in cpp files?

Is there another way? Because the functions, classes, etc. That aren''t really with the camera, but also not with the particle engine, etc (like texture loading and vector calculation) would be nice in the header...

I''ll do it ur way now, thanx Penguin!

declare you function in the header like this:

void Something();

and define them in a cpp file like this

void Something(){
};
