glut + bcc32 + fstream => compile error
Author
I try to compile my 3D game (which works perfectly in UNIX) at a Windows 2000 computer using Borland''s free compiler. In the program I include fstream.h.
(I''ve got some small example programs which are compileable until I include fstream.h)
I get this error:
Error E2337 c:\Borland\Bcc55\include\gl/glut.h 141: Only one of a set of overloaded functions can be "C"
I can''t be the only one having this problem... any solutions?

1) please delete one of your posts.
2) my version of borland doesn''t have glut.h. make sure you actually have that file in the path specified. it may require a specific library installation. also looks like you might want to try using a \ instead of a / in the path name for your include call.

You have a function which is declared as a C function but is overloaded. C doesn''t support overloading.
Or, look if your source file was created with a ''.c'' extension (compiled as C code by default).
Finally, and most importantly : DO NOT USE <fstream.h>, use <fstream>. fstream.h and iostream.h are the headers for the old iostream library. Otherwise I''ll have to use my 1337 H4X0RZ 5K177Z to correct your code myself

My apologize on posting the same topic twice. I blame it on my web browser.
Fruny:
glut.h or ifstream.h has the overloaded C function. My file is a .cpp-file (though it has no C++ features except for the IO). My glut version is 3.7 and I installed the OpenGL files according to the article references by opengl.org
This feels a bit off-topic, but I''m desperate: When I remove .h and include instead the compiler can''t find cout, endl or ifstream.
What shall I do?
This is very frustrating because my game compiled in UNIX and in Windows with Visual C++... :-(

Either put
using namespace std;
after you include your headers, or prefix standard things with std:: like so:
std::cout << "Hello world";
Standard headers define their contents in namespace std.

glut.h or ifstream.h has the overloaded C function.
Which function is it ?
When I remove .h and include instead the compiler can''t find cout, endl or ifstream.
As indicated above, add using namespace std at the top of your .cpp files.
And your error messages could indeed be useful.

Now I''ve tried many different combinations. I get the error message on every combination of include files with or without .h.
If I include glut.h first I get an error in stdlib.h "(using std::exit"
If I include fstream.h first I get an error in glut.h "(extern _CRTIMP void __cdecl exit(int)"
It seems that the overloaded function is exit.
(I have to write std:: before calling exit(int) here, but at UNIX/Visual C++ I didn''t have to.)
using namespace std; didn''t work either, I got "undefined symbol cout" when I tried to use it.
