Re: [Dev-C++] Strange linking problem (?)

[Billiam <bon...@ya...>]

Do you have all the libraries linked to it that you should have? That might be the problem, but Im not sure.

During the compilation of the following constructor I get a "'GetInstance' undeclared" error. However I included an headerfile which includes the appropriate header (windows.h) to use that function.
 
// topwindow1.cc
#include "windowwrappers.ih"
 
TopWindow::TopWindow(WindowClass &winClass, int resId)
:
  Window(winClass)
{
  d_style = WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW;
  HINSTANCE hInst = GetInstance();
  d_windowName = ResourceString(hInst, resId);
}
 
// windowwrappers.ih
#include "window.h"
#include "topwindow.h"
 
#include "../winexception.h"
#include "../resourcestring.h"
 
#include <windows.h>
 
 
I don't get why it won't compile. Especially because I use the very same function in a classmember of another class:
 
// setdefaults.cc
#include "classwrappers.ih"
 
void WindowClass::SetDefaults()
{
  /* <some code> */
 
  d_class.lpszClassName = GetName(); 
  d_class.hInstance = GetInstance(); 

  /* <some more code> */
}
 
// classwrappers.ih
#include "simplewindowclass.h"
#include "windowclass.h"
#include "topwindowclass.h"
 
#include "../resourcestring.h"
#include "../winexception.h"
 
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>

Note that I use a nonstandard extension for the headerfiles (following the "internal header" approach where classmembers include a common headerfile (which in turn includes the header containing classdeclaration)). This might be the cause of linker problems when using Dev-C++ but I already tried projectfile options. Currently the *.ih files are neither included during compilation nor during linkingprocess.
 
Thanks in advance. Hope somebody sees what I'm doing wrong.
