RE: [Dev-C++] Still more linker problems...

[Scott S. <age...@co...>]

I think it is because you are putting the definitions in the .h file.
Instead, it would be better to make x.h have only variable declarations,
defines, and function prototypes, and an x.cpp file which has all the
function definitions. What is happening is that the definitions are
being held in the libx.a file and in the header, and thus the compiler
doesn't know which definition to use. SO the choices here are to put all
the definitions in an x.cpp file, or just use one big header for
everything.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Still more linker problems...


Hello,

I am still trying to solve my linker problems. I am
trying to do the following:

1. Build a static library;
For this I use a header file say x.h. This header file
contains few inline functions( and of-course their
definitions). So I comfortably compile all the source
files, then put them together as libx.a file. The
going is great so far!!

2. Next I try to use this library in an application.
So I create a source file and compile it. Its all too
simple and I get an object file, say, appx.o. Note
that I include the header x.h in my source file.

3. Now I try to link my object file appx.o with
libx.a.
Here is where I am stuck. The linker complains about
all the inline functions defined in x.h to be
multiple-ly defined.

Can somebody please help me out in getting around this
problem!!

TIA,

Siva Chandra
