please give me a hint here as to why it''s not working -- the error is : amh1.cpp d:\microsoft visual studio\msdev98\myprojects\amh1\amh1.cpp(400) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive Error executing cl.exe. amh1.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) i think everything is linked fine, so i have no idea where this error is coming from. thanks! aron

Simple.

What you probably did originally when you created the project was selected ''Simple Project'', which sets stdafx.h as a precompiled header.

These headers are completely useless IMHO, so you''ve probably deleted them - problem is that the compiler is still looking for them. Go to Project->Settings and on one of the tags is a section for precompiled headers. Make sure it says, ''Automatic use of precompiled headers'' - this should fix it.

If that doesn''t solve the problem, or if you get a strange warning, just go Build->Clean and then recompile fresh.

Make sure the Project->Settings are both Win32 Debug and Release versions so that you don''t have problems if you change.

Ok?

smidge -- i don''t see that setting anywhere under the tabs in settings! am i blind?

ryerider: Bad habbit to double post a message within some hours because you didn''t get a reply...

smidge_tech: Precompiled headers have their uses. It might not be apparent on small projects or fast machines, but in my case, I fiond them very useful. You include all the includes you don''t have to change (windows.h, string.h, etc.) and compilation is done much faster... It depends on the case.

Ryerider:

I think the setting is under the tab ''C++'', and then search through the combo box until you find the precompiled headers bit appear - it''s definitely there!

Demon Lord:

Indeed they have their uses, that''s why I leave it on ''Automatic use'' - i meant that most of the time there is no point in using custom headers, since it often means you have to structure your program around them.
