ok, I started debuging my landscape renderer and got about 90 errors. ewwwww. now I''m down to 9. I think once I get this figured out it should compile ok. Here''s an example of one of my errors: error C2601: ''GenerateLandscape'' : local function definitions are illegal all the errors are like this and come from the same class. Actually, every function from that class has a coresponding error. I would greatly appreciate some help on what I might be doing wrong. thanks, Joe JoeMont001@aol.com www.polarisoft.n3.net

Can you give more details, such as the definitions and implementations for a few functions?

Dave

It sounds like you made a brace error. Check the braces on your functions to make sure that you aren''t including one function within another.
i.e. Nothing like:
void FuncA(void) {
//blah

void FuncB(void) {
//blah
}
}

well, it''s a pretty standard class. The class is defined in cLandscape.h and the functions are in cLandscape.cpp. The includes are in cLandscape.h. I don''t really want to post all of the code here, I don''t think it would help any. I''m pretty sure the class isn''t the problem. What I suspect is the problem is how the files are included in my workspace. Basically what I''m asking is for some ideas on what could cause that error?
Thanks again,
Joe
p.s-I know the class is ok because it compiled fine before adding it to the workspace.

SiCrane, you might be right, I counted the brackets and counted 39. That means that there''s either one missing, there''s one extra, or I miss counted.

I think SiCrane is right.

Have you tried putting the cursor on the error and pressing F1? It might also help you solve those other errors...

thanks for the tip baskuenen.

ok, last error question regarding this topic, promise. what might be causing these errors?

I bet you are defining your variables multiple times.

It's just a guess, but:
- maybe you have defined variables in your .h file. Definitions should only be in .c or .cpp files. The .h files can use "extern" to make them "visible".
- maybe you just defined the same vars in both .c or cpp files?

you''re right again. I had the variabls defined in the header file instead of the .cpp file. It compiled for the first time. YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!
later,
Joe
