Linker errors by the bag full

Crow-knee · 2003-02-03T05:32:47

I realise that this problem has graced these boards a number of times, but it seems it has caught me out this time. I have started a new project to begin using what I have learned to make something useful, but ye olde linker has had at me with quite a large hurty stick. I have used the directx application wizard (don't hate me for that) which worked fine, but in order to keep things centralised, I have started to remodel the app with a single global header file, which looks something like : #ifndef __WIZARDIO_ #define __WIZARDIO_ #define INITGUID #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> #include <windowsx.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdarg.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <malloc.h> #include <memory.h> #include <tchar.h> #include <assert.h> #include <basetsd.h> #include <mmsystem.h> #include <d3d8.h> #include <d3dx8.h> #include <rmxfguid.h> #include <rmxftmpl.h> // Global definitions //#define VertexFVF (D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX1) #define VertexFVF (D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE) //typedef struct sVertex{ FLOAT x, y, z; D3DCOLOR diffuse; //FLOAT u, v; }; #include "mysprite.h" void DebugPrint( TCHAR* strMsg, ... ); // Useful Macros (the useless ones have been cut) #define ReleaseCOM(x) if(x) { x->Release(); x = NULL; } #include "D3DApp.h" #include "D3DFont.h" #include "D3DFile.h" #include "D3DUtil.h" #include "DXUtil.h" #include "D3DRes.h" #include "resource.h" #include "wizard.h" #include "mysprite.h" #endif For my troubles, I get a plethora of linker errors. Here is a sample : d3dfile.obj : error LNK2005: "unsigned char * D3DRM_XTEMPLATES" (?D3DRM_XTEMPLATES@@3PAEA) already defined in d3dapp.obj d3dfile.obj : error LNK2005: _TID_D3DRMRightHanded already defined in d3dapp.obj d3dfile.obj : error LNK2005: _TID_D3DRMPropertyBag already defined in d3dapp.obj d3dfile.obj : error LNK2005: _TID_D3DRMStringProperty already defined in d3dapp.obj d3dfile.obj : error LNK2005: _TID_D3DRMExternalVisual already defined in d3dapp.obj Well, you get the idea. Anyway, some tips on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steele.

Got your mail, I''ll look at it soon enough.

I tried to build a DX project my self, then putted in all headers of all generated files in one, and got a familiar message:
"d3dapp.obj : error LNK2005: "unsigned char * D3DRM_XTEMPLATES" (?D3DRM_XTEMPLATES@@3PAEA) already defined in d3dfile.obj"

After little investigation, I find that D3DRM_XTEMPLATES is defined (not only declared) in rmxftmpl.h. So, this one must only be included in one of you source files. VC++ choose the d3dfile.cpp, which might be appropriate.

I''ll look at the other errors now.

ok, I didn''t get any of the _TID_ errors when compiling your project. After I moved the #include <rmxftmpl.h> from global.h and put it in d3dfile.cpp, the project compiled and linked fine.

Hope that solves your problem.

Shazbot!!
Nope. I still get the errors.
This may require a re-install. I am running out of ideas.
Thanks all for your help.
I''ll keep watching this thread incase anyone else has a clue, meanwhile, I shall do a re-install.

Finally!! Some closure.
A new project, a fresh start and everything comes up just peachy.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Good ol'' VC++.

Now to delete that troublesome project... now where''s me magnet???

Good to hear. I tracked down those _TID_D3DRMxxx identifiers to the rmxfguid.h file, and was about to suggest you to only include that one in a single source file, but saw that you solved it. Sometimes a fresh start solves everything

(weird, isn''t it?)
