Frustrating Errors on compile

adam17 · 2003-03-17T10:20:23

i keep getting the following errors when i try to build my prog. --------------------Configuration: OpenGL Window - Win32 Release-------------------- Compiling... import.cpp G:\Adam\Software\Visual C++\OGL Window 2\import.cpp(31) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''MeshResize'' G:\Adam\Software\Visual C++\OGL Window 2\import.cpp(31) : error C2501: ''MESH'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers G:\Adam\Software\Visual C++\OGL Window 2\import.cpp(31) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found main.cpp G:\Adam\Software\Visual C++\OGL Window 2\import.cpp(31) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''MeshResize'' G:\Adam\Software\Visual C++\OGL Window 2\import.cpp(31) : error C2501: ''MESH'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers G:\Adam\Software\Visual C++\OGL Window 2\import.cpp(31) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found Error executing cl.exe. OpenGL Window.exe - 6 error(s), 0 warning(s) the ''MESH'' thing is a struct with mesh properties inside ie vertices and normals. ''MeshResize'' is a function that resizes an array that holds the scene''s meshes. i have spent hours looking for the source of the problem but i havent gotten anywhere. can someone please help!?!

First, I think you need to include the h file. The problem seems to be with the MESH type, it doesn''t know it. Include the h file where the MESH type is defined. Make sure you define the type as a typedef. Ex:
typedef struct _MESH
{
//members here

}MESH;

You did not put the typedef keyword, so maybe thats it.

here is a set of errors i have gotten a while back. if u look at the code there is a variable called map which has a data type of unsigned int. it used to be GLuint. if i comment out "ifstream infile" then the next line contains the error. any ideas of what could be wrong?

1.I think you should write
#pragma once
at the beginning of header ( redefinition )
2. it is #define GLuint unsigned int so when you write GLuint the compiler will see it as unsigned int
3.include stdlib and stdio in the beginning of import.cpp (for file io)

a couple of things I''d like to say.

v_d_d: AFAIK that is only a requirement on pure C compilers, as in C unless the typedef is there you must declare variables as "struct MESH" rather than "MESH", but if I''m right, that would produce different errors.

PM: a better, definitely more portable way of doing the #pragma once thing is to add at to the header:

  #ifndef HEADER_H // or whatever)#define HEADER_H// ... file#endif

so the first time it''s included, HEADER_H isn''t included, so it defines it, then next time through, HEADER_H is included, and so the file isn''t processed a second time.

to the OP, try leaving the #include "import.h" in, and make sure you have the headers for ifstreams included.

PM im new to windows programming so would you tell me what #pragma is and what it does and where i should put it.
baldurk i did the #ifndef, #define and #ifend lines but it still doesnt work.

what does #pragma do? is it something like #define or #include? and do i really need it?

1. #pragma is Microsoft-Specific
2. ''#pragma once'' says the compiler that he should include the file only once…
3. Just write it at the beginning of a file
4. There are other pragmas, like
#pragma warning
to disable/enable some warning msg
…..
Like i said, it is Microsoft specific (Visual C++)
If u want to do this without pragmas, write this:

      #ifndef __HEADERNAME_H__#define __HEADERNAME_H__// Here the header contents#endif

The preprocessor will do this:
#ifndef __HEADERNAME_H__
if __HEADERNAME_H__ is defined go on with this file
if __HEADERNAME_H__ is not defined, jump after the next #endif
#define __HEADERNAME_H__
defines __HEADERNAME_H__ so the next time when including this file in the same compilation (in the same .cpp file), the preprocessor will skip the #ifdef … #endif part.

Huh, I hope this helped

When not just write Ill try to explain it in an other way…

since i still have this thread goin i might as well us it.

when i compile my program i get a lot of unresolved external errors. it tells me which classes it cant find. all of the classes that have errors came with the compiler. anyway all of the files in my program are included in one file main.h. all of the header files that i created are included at the very end. if i include them at the end of main.h i get the unresolved externals. if i include main.h in the files i made i get at least 100 errors telling me variables are being redefined. any ideas?
