I'm starting to hopefully code a game for the Z, but I need to put stuff not only in multiple .hpp files but also in .cpp files. Does anybody have a good link for how to do this? My horrible searching skills failed to turn anything up.
Also, is there a good tutorial for using the autotools/makefiles? Those seem to be important to using multiple source files as well. Thanks. |

Thanks for the quick reply. How do I make function calls to the other .cpp files then? I don't understand how it works if you aren't including them.
I use .hpp instead of .h because editors with syntax highlighting highlight differently for C than they do for C++, which makes it odd to read. With .hpp, they use the C++ highlighting, making it more consistant. |

Hi Meanie, Is hpp really a new standard ? I never heard of it. Can you supply a link to where I can find more info ? I always mixed C and C++ in header files with no problems. thanks koan |
