how do you include a file with common code but avoid linking errors? I have something like this.. #ifndef _STUFF_ #define _STUFF_ void method1() { } void method2() { } #endif but when I include this header in multiple files, when its being linked, it comlains for redundant definitions... It might be I havn''t slept in two nights.. I just don''t see it..

You can have function prototypes in a header, but you cannot place global function definitions in a header if you include the header in multiple source files.

I''d suggest moving your definitions to a separate source file, but retaining the prototypes of those functions in that header.
