Class On Freestore

Why are you creating two CCamera instances? If you don''t delete the first one before creating the second, you''ll get a memory leak.

CCamera * g_Camera;							//our camera!

g_Camera = new CCamera;

Usually a dead giveaway the type (CCamera) is not working correctly. Did you forget to include the header?

VC6 naively assumes it to be an integer type if it can''t figure out the type, so this only corroborates my theory.

Yes i do have my header included

HEADER!!!

Move g_Camera = new CCamera; out of the global namespace and into a function. Or replace both lines with CCamera *g_Camera = new CCamera;

i moved it into my setup GL function but now i get this error after comiling

Yes

You need this in your header:

extern CCamera* g_Camera; // Declaration 

This in one of your .cpp files:

CCamera* g_Camera = NULL; // Definition 

And this in a function somewhere before you try and use g_Camera:

g_Camera = new CCamera; // Assignment / dynamic memory allocation 

You can''t allocate memory outside of a function and you can''t define a global variable inside a function which is why you need to put the definition and the assignment in different places.

I give up it''s not working

Just make it a global object like everything else.
