C++ Headers, Cpp Files

[djwilliams 0]

Hi

I have just started using the BoostC++ compiler, and I am having some problems with getting my project to work. The first question is can a project be broken up into each class being in its own header and CPP file? I cannot seem to get this to compile if I do this. I created a base class

 

Class Timer, and a Class Timer0 public class Timer, and another class Timer1 public class Timer

 

all in seperate header, and CPP files. I then created another CPP file with main() in it. I couldn't get the Timer1 class to be accepted, an error kept appearing about the class name. I have now put the class in the same header as the Timer0 class and the compiler is happy with this, however I am now getting a complaint about the class Timer the error is:

I have seen this on a previous post but have not seen a solution to the problem.

 

Pavel have you considered designing a tutorial for using the C++ compiler? It may make things easier for first time users.

Hi Pavel

When is the fix going to be available? and what is the work around for this problem? Do I need to keep everything in one file?

cheers
