Hello,

    I'm trying to re-use some of my code in a new app and I've hit a snag
early on...

    I'm getting the "Previous Definition Different" error code when I add in
my common dlg file i/o functions.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

That message usually means you have the same name defined twice.

I understand about defining the same name twice, what I can not figure out is what I am defining twice! The code is exactly the same as from where I harvested it from, and I'm not aware of having anything defined!

The error message says the name that is defined multiple times. Try grepping the source code and .h files for the name. -Walter

Stephen, you are compiling both fairy.c and fmtkfile.c: This is not
required, as you are including fmtkfile.c inside fairy.c. Just compile
fairy.c, the multiple defn error vanishes.
ie instead of:
sc -mn -cpp fairy.c fmtkfile.c
Just use:
sc -mn -cpp fairy.c

Ideally, avoid such includes.
Also, it is not a good practice to put function source inside a header file,
as you have done in 'file.h'. You will land up in similar trouble if this
header is included in multiple sources. (Such a thing should only be done
for 'inline' or 'template' functions.)

Ahhh.... That explains it to me.

I'm rather new at all this, only about 1 year.
