I have a project to do for university, and for some reason I wrote the
essential classes of the application in one project, and then the gui classes in another project. I copied the files of the essential classes to a directory
called "Model" in the directory of the gui project, When I added the files of the essential classes to the gui project and tried to compile them, I got this fatal error: "unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive"

Those files worked just fine when they were in their original project.
What does this error mean, and what should I do to solve it?

PS
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2002

It seems that you are using the precompiled headers option. Therefore, you have to include the stdafx header at the beginning of each .cpp file (before any other include).


P.S: stdafx == Microsoft crap!

Best regards,
Lucian

Thanks a bunch it did the treak!
As for the stdafx, yeah I know it's crap, but unfortunately I had to write the
gui of the project using mfc, which is a total disaster.
If I had a say in this I would probably use some other library, come to think of it I would probably have written the project in Java.

Set precompiled headers option to "Automatically Generate (/YX)" and your error will disappear
Project properties -> c/c++ -> precompiled headers

Greetings,

I got to tell ya. I love working in C++ because it gives me the lower level control I need for the instrument control software that I write.

But man, it is full of little hidden details. I've haven't done any code since 1999 until recently when I got Visual C++6 and started a new program. Wow... every day I was/am buried in roadblocks. This thread subject was one of them. (Which is now resolved - thanks to you'all)

aie0 and LuciWiz, I do not know how you learned all this stuff.... but without the folks like you that I find thru Internet searches, sample code and MSDN forums, I would have been shut down on day 1.

In other professions, "tricks of the trade" are closely guarded secrets, and novices can't get anyone to give them any advice.

I sure appreciate both the professionalism and good hearted attitude of the people who particpate in these software sites.

I wish I could give something back.... but I'm a mere babe in the woods...... let me know if you have a question about Criminal Law (my previous profession) or thermodynamics (my current gig)..... maybe I can help in fields I know something about.

Thanks again,

Mike
