Linking

[Technocrat]

Ok this is about to drive me nutz.

I have 4 .cpp file and 5 .h files
There is a main.h & .cpp which contains the main program
There is a ListCtrl.h & .cpp which is a wrapper for a listview
There is a Grab.h & .cpp which grabs stuff from a file
There is another .h & .cpp thats not important

Finally there is a custheader.h which has all the <headers> like <string> <map> <vector> etc.

Main.h has all the "headers" in it.

All the other .h files just has "Main.h" included.

All the .h have #ifndef __NAME_H__ #def __NAME_H__ in them to stop them from getting defined multiple times.

Ok now all that works great, except I have a struct that is in Grab.h, and when I try to use it in ListCrtl.h it tells me that the struct isnt defined. Of course when I try to just add the struct to header it tells me its now trying to be redefined. I have tried to include the Grab.h and that doesnt work because it already linked when main.h get compiled.

So how do I fix this up?

Declare the struct as extern.

I thought of that but when I do that I get error C2159: more than one storage class specified

Here is what the struct looks like, maybe that has something to do with it:

struct FILE_S
{
	string	sName;
	string	sExt;
	long	lSize;
};

typedef vector<FILE_S> typeFILE;

struct DIR_S
{
	bool		bScanned;
	int		iFiles;
	long		lTotalSize;
	int		iTXTs;
	typeFILE	vecFiles;
};

Didja try:

#ifndef FILE_TEMPLATE
#define FILE_TEMPLATE 
struct FILE_S
{
	string	sName;
	string	sExt;
	long	lSize;
};

typedef vector<FILE_S> typeFILE;

struct DIR_S
{
	bool		bScanned;
	int		iFiles;
	long		lTotalSize;
	int		iTXTs;
	typeFILE	vecFiles;
};
#endif

in each of the header files? like grab.h, etc.

Yeah all the headers have that
I see this http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showth...hreadid=231048
I gave it a try using

class LIST_CL
{
	private:
		//Functions
		
		//VARs
		LV_COLUMN		m_lvc;
		HWND			m_hWnd;
		int			m_iCols;

	public:
		//Functions
		LIST_CL();
		~LIST_CL();

		struct p_Point;
		bool	AddItem(p_Point *File);
}

But I get told that it cant convert from p_Point to DIR_S
